A great place to stay. Be careful when parking on site as theres a chance you may catch your bumper when crossing from the road to the drive. Excellent breakfast.

Amber was lovey and made us very welcome when we arrived. Location is near by most of the attractions. Car parking isn’t for the faint hearted due to the location of the property being hill bound drive

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,

Very nice 2 night stay. The room was very clean, bed comfortable with quality linen. Toiletries were good too. Breakfast,ordered in advance was delicious and substantial and we welcomed having a coffee maker in the room. A couple of downsides were the tight steep driveway which had been told to us in advance, the lack of small shelving in the bathroom for make up/toothbrushes etc and the very weak shower. Small things but do make a difference! It was perfectly positioned to get to all the places we wanted without moving the car so it was fine.

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.

The staff were amazingly helpful. Despite sending an email with information on how to find the property, which we didn't read, the gentleman talked us through exactly how to get to the lodging. Once we arrived our car was unable to make it up the steep drive due to it being up a very steep hill and we own a very low riding vehicle. We were however able to park on the street for free thanks to obtaining a parking pass from the lodging themselves. The bed however was very firm which does not suit my old bones. The fire alarm was sounded roughly two hours after we went to sleep because another guest didn't shut the bathroom door while taking a shower and the steam entered the general room and set off the alarm. This was resolved quickly and we returned to our rooms without a lot of time being wasted. We did not partake of the breakfast which would have been available at an additional cost and found cheaper breakfast very near by. Overall the trip was for business and therefore I found the location extremely fitting for my needs. I'm unsure if I would stay again due to the parking situation however I cannot fault the lodging for this.

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!

The staff were excellent, polite, friendly and efficient. The room was very very good - good standard of fittings, bed extremely comfortable and the bedroom and bathroom were immaculately clean. In a fantastic location with astonishing views out over the city and "easy" access to the castle and cathedral - I say "easy" because although it's a short distance to them, Lincoln is a very hilly place! All in all, a brilliant stay.

Direction by the hosts was spot on! Upon arrival we were a little early but as our room was ready they let us check in straight away. Staff were all super friendly and even offered to bring our bags in. Full guide or room was given. The room was beautiful and facilities were excellent including a mini fridge, milk (and oat milk for hubby), bottled water, handmade herbal tea selection, even umbrellas in the wardrobe incase it was wet! Breakfast was fabulous and really tasty, so much choice and all locally sourced products. Would definitely stay again if we revisit Lincoln 😊😊

Parking can only be described as a nightmare. We paid for 2 nights but because of no sleep due to the cold conditions left after 1 night. The staff didn’t even ask why we were leaving early.

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.

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.

The staff were amazingly helpful. Despite sending an email with information on how to find the property, which we didn't read, the gentleman talked us through exactly how to get to the lodging. Once we arrived our car was unable to make it up the steep drive due to it being up a very steep hill and we own a very low riding vehicle. We were however able to park on the street for free thanks to obtaining a parking pass from the lodging themselves. The bed however was very firm which does not suit my old bones. The fire alarm was sounded roughly two hours after we went to sleep because another guest didn't shut the bathroom door while taking a shower and the steam entered the general room and set off the alarm. This was resolved quickly and we returned to our rooms without a lot of time being wasted. We did not partake of the breakfast which would have been available at an additional cost and found cheaper breakfast very near by. Overall the trip was for business and therefore I found the location extremely fitting for my needs. I'm unsure if I would stay again due to the parking situation however I cannot fault the lodging for this.

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.

Friendly and helpful hosts, in a nice area close to the Cathedral and Castle. Mini fridge, tea and coffee in the room. Good choices for breakfast. We felt well looked after. 😊

Unfortunately the room was very small. No cupboards etc. No independent heating and extremely poor bedding. Sliding door to shower and toilet was impossible to close. Parking can only be described as a nightmare. We paid for 2 nights but because of no sleep due to the cold conditions left after 1 night. The staff didn’t even ask why we were leaving early.

Location
Highly convenient for Lincoln’s Cathedral, Castle, and sights, though the area is on a steep hill and some walks are hilly or a bit far from the station.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

Direction by the hosts was spot on! Upon arrival we were a little early but as our room was ready they let us check in straight away. Staff were all super friendly and even offered to bring our bags in. Full guide or room was given. The room was beautiful and facilities were excellent including a mini fridge, milk (and oat milk for hubby), bottled water, handmade herbal tea selection, even umbrellas in the wardrobe incase it was wet! Breakfast was fabulous and really tasty, so much choice and all locally sourced products. Would definitely stay again if we revisit 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,

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.

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

Very nice 2 night stay. The room was very clean, bed comfortable with quality linen. Toiletries were good too. Breakfast,ordered in advance was delicious and substantial and we welcomed having a coffee maker in the room. A couple of downsides were the tight steep driveway which had been told to us in advance, the lack of small shelving in the bathroom for make up/toothbrushes etc and the very weak shower. Small things but do make a difference! It was perfectly positioned to get to all the places we wanted without moving the car so it was fine.
