Kirton Holme, Boston

Overview.

The Poachers Inn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold hospitality and events venue in a prominent semi-rural position just outside Boston, Lincolnshire.

The entire property, including the hotel accommodation and principal trading areas, has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment programme costing approximately £500,000, undertaken by SL Developments Ltd, a specialist developer with a reputation for high-quality refurbishments and new-build properties.

The works have been completed to a high-end specification throughout, creating a stylish, fully refurbished venue ready to open and operate as a hotel, events venue, public house and restaurant.

Dating back to 1838, this established former country inn and wedding venue retains its traditional character while offering extensive modern accommodation. The property includes 14 en-suite guest bedrooms, generous function and event spaces, attractive bar and dining areas, and a strong historic trading profile.

The property ceased trading in October 2025 and is offered for sale freehold with vacant possession.

Unconditional offers will only be considered.

The Building

The accommodation brings together the character of a historic country inn with the comfort and presentation of a carefully refurbished hospitality venue.

Fourteen spacious guest bedrooms offer double, twin, and king-size options, each with en-suite facilities, including a dedicated bridal suite.

Characterful bar and dining areas offer intimate spaces for guests to relax, complemented by generous function rooms accommodating events ranging from approximately 50 to 200 guests, depending on the layout and occasion. An equipped commercial kitchen supports the hospitality and events facilities.

Outside, an attractive garden complements the venue, while a substantial car park provides convenient parking for guests and visitors.

The flexible accommodation also offers scope for alternative commercial or mixed-use schemes, subject to the necessary consents.

Location

The Poachers Inn enjoys a prominent position on Swineshead Road, just outside Kirton Holme and within a short drive of the historic market town of Boston.

The surrounding Lincolnshire countryside provides an appealing backdrop for a country hospitality venue, with nearby towns offering access to everyday amenities and a wider customer base.

Convenient connections to the A16 and A17 provide access across Lincolnshire, with onward routes towards Peterborough, King’s Lynn and the wider East Midlands.
