Lovely hotel with an even lovelier breakfast

A lovely hotel and we had a great stay there. Nice, cosy room and very close to the main sights( cathedral and castle) Parking was difficult (on a steep hill) but the owner or his staff were always on hand to guide guests. Highlight was the breakfast, freshly cooked and plentiful, probably my favourite hotel breakfast ever. Lovely stay and highly recommended.

Worth its 10/10 rating

Such a lovely property, service was brilliant all weekend. Breakfasts were brilliant. The fact it is located halfway up the hill made for a great setting. Thank you so much for making the weekend so special

Struggled to get up to hotel in car. Room was comfortable. It had everything we needed. Breakfast-ordered the night before. Not much interaction. We thought it was in with price but was told it was £15 each. Close to castle and amenities.

Spent 8 nights in England. Poplars was my fave of the 5 places we stayed. That was due to staff. Though my train left before (free) breakfast, they left food for us the night before and provided fresh coffee in the morning. Meant a lot to us. Close to all points of interest but a bit of walk from train station. Cheap uber rides available. Great pick to be near Lincoln Castle.

Wonderful stay in Lincoln

Wonderful hotel, beautiful continental breakfast provided. Cleanliness impeccable and nothing too much trouble for staff. Amazingly located to the attractions (Only a 5 min walk to the Castle and Cathedral). All in all a first class stay.

We had a lovely 2 night stay at The Poplars and would happily return. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The location of the property was ideal for sightseeing and getting to shops, cafes and restaurants, and was nice and quiet at night. Our room was large, clean and comfortable and cane with everything we needed. The breakfast options in the morning were fantastic and delicious each day and the staff were around to offer more coffee or help you plan your day. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Centrally located B&B

Nice B&B centrally located to the key sites/areas. Friendly and helpful staff. Basic breakfast, but included - extra for cooked (eggs, etc). I stayed in a smaller room, but had everything and a roomy shower. In a converted house - narrow stairs and no lifts.

Perfect!

The hotel was a beautiful, older estate with many comforts. Our host, Martin, was so kind and showed us around the estate. He helped us with knowing what to do around Lincoln and was incredibly friendly. The room itself was beautiful and had lots of amenities such as food, tea, and more. The provided breakfast was delicious and the service was incredible. We were in walking distance close to the castle and the cathedral. Loved our stay and we would do it again!!

A weekend in Lincoln.

Lovely building, staff helpful and polite. Room rather small but adequate. Keypad on room door could be in a higher position (rather awkward to use). Extremely clean and lovely furniture.

We were made to feel very welcome from the start. The room had an en-suite the room was very clean and a welcoming space to relax in. Breakfast was included and a wide variety of items to choose from. Very attentive hosts. Location was fantastic as it was so close to the castle, Cathedral and shopping areas. Would definitely recommend.

Good stay, wasn't able to add photos

Parking was awkward, on a slope, very narrow entrance. House in good location for Castle & Cathedral. Room was bland not like photos on website. Shower was a dribble. Didnt like sitting at breakfast table with other guests, prefer separate tables. Continental breakfast was ok didnt have cooked breakfast it was extra, good they used local produce, ( tea, jam.) Staff were friendly and efficient. Good stay overall

First appearances aren't the best. The drive into the property is very narrow and between high walls. The entrance to the drive is off a one-way street, so needs to be approached from the right end. The property doesn't look good from outside either. Once inside, though, everything is fine. Jackson couldn't be more attentive or helpful, the room was good and breakfast was great. The location is ideal - a few minutes up the hill to the Castle and Cathedral or a few minutes down to the waterfront.

Lovely B&B in Lincoln

Very well located B&B for visiting both the high and lower parts of Lincoln. Useful arrival information provided beforehand. Room clean and comfortable with tv that works! We were one of the top floor rooms with great view. Bathroom good - wet room that succeeds in only getting the shower area wet and has good drainage. And warm. Breakfast plentiful and fresh. Need to order night before. 3 breakfast timings but if both large communal tables are still full when you arrive you’ll be informed when there’s more space. Everyone is really pleasant and helpful. Parking. Be warned - not so much tight but steep! And tight, steep angles to drive up into the B&B (and out again). Make sure you have tread on your tyres and your brakes work!! Once in you’re fine. And help and advice will be there if needed when moving car out. And generally, if you’re using Poplars to visit Lincoln, you will be walking up and down some steep roads, some of which are cobbled. Would I recommend The Poplars? Yes. Would I book in again? Yes (but I would make sure there’s no snow or ice forecast)!! Thank you Poplars for your hospitality,
