Dont hesitate to book
Couldnt ask for more, clean well decorated quirky rooms , very comfy beds , the owners had thought of everything, lovely little touches such as the refreshments in the room which was payable , coffee machine and various choices of tea. Breakfast was tasty and fresh a range of choices, friendly server didnt get her name. You choose the time and menu the night before which was a great idea. Martin the owner was friendly and very welcoming , nothing to much trouble . A little gem of a hotel, dont hesitate to book , look forward to visiting 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.

Parking Issue
This is an ideally situated place, with easy access to the cathedral. However the parking is an issue. Parking is on a very steep drive with drivers having to ‘shuffle’ each morning as visitors come and go. This is not made clear when looking to book.

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.

Would not stay again
Room cold, shower cold first day but was hot second day. Fridge in wardrobe (only had milk in) could not hang clothes. Dining room very cold, 2 large tables we went with friends but had to move chairs in order to sit together. All doors code access but code box low on bedroom door. Property access and parking facilities extremely steep.

2 night stay at The Poplars
Very enjoyable 2 night stay..Our room was quirky,and cleaned to a high standard..Coffee and tea making facilities which was welcomed after sightseeing..also very handy small fridge with fresh milk. There was a decent choice for breakfast..boiled eggs..fruit..yoghurt..cereal and toast with locally produced jams..Location was great..just a stones throw away from the Castle and Cathedral..Our stay was made enjoyable by the friendliness of all the staff..they really are a credit to The Poplars..Martin the owner very obliging with local information and an all round nice guy..Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfection in Lincoln
The Poplars is a lovely place to stay. Perfectly located for a stay in Lincoln. It is beautifully decorated throughout and very comfortable. The breakfast is fantastic, very varied options including gluten free. Martin, one of the owners, is extremely helpful, full of information and top tips. We couldn't recommend it enough and would definitely stay again if we visited Lincoln again. Absolutely perfect in every way.

more hostel than b and b
felt more like a hostel than a b and b. number locks on each door, self service breakfast. the window in my room was blocked by the bed and i couldn't open it, dubious stains on decorative pillows. when there was a horrendously noisy person at 1.30 knocking and swearing to be let in next to my room, obviously he couldn't open the lock, i got an apology from the host next to the offer of a payable upgrade.

Hi there, We are a b and b and therefore do not have a reception that is manned 24/7 hence the code locks, it is a 3 digit code to get into your bedroom which replaced keys that can be easily lost. As of the man, he couldn't open the lock because he has been "celebrating" that night. Overall, I hope your presentation at the university went well, you have enjoyed your stay with us and we will see you again.

The property was warm, clean and homely, the owners were lovely and the young lady working there was polite, attentive and helpful. It is ideally placed being only a few minutes walk from the castle in one direction and the new theatre royal in the other. Best place we've stayed in for a long time.

It was right in the city centre. But bare in mind how hilly Lincoln is. The approach to property is challenging, both by car or walking. Our room was up 2 flights of stairs and only one shower/toilet to be shared by 4 rooms. However, it was fun for a couple of nights and self service breakfast was excellent.
