“Carpenters Arms has a local feel, deeply rooted in Boston's community. While the immediate area might appear rough around the edges, the pub's enduring popularity speaks volumes about its character. I find it a solid choice for an authentic, no-frills stay, especially if you value a genuine pub atmosphere.”

fantastic stay!
easy access clean room comfortable suite lovely reunion
i found it easy to use the external stairs after pub hours to reach my room. my beautiful single room was very nice and neat. the staff worked hard to organise afternoon tea for my cousins, we were all meeting up (it was a lovely reunion). a room was prepared for us. we had sandwiches, cakes, and drinks.
there was loud music from the pub until 1 am. i know i was above a pub, still the music was loud and i couldn't sleep immediately.
