The Poplars Boutique BB

The first thing to mention is the driveway, yes it’s a little intimidating but perfectly doable with patience and care. We went in a Škoda Karoq and managed it and there was also a larger car parked up when we arrived. If you are a nervous driver in a large car I wouldn’t attempt it and ask for a permit. Parking situation at first confused me but the hotel managed it exceptionally well. I had to move my car once at breakfast, no problem at all! We upgraded to a superior room and it was lovely. Very clean, everything thought of, Netflix and nespresso machine a lovely touch. Found the bed to be very comfortable and the sheets were so soft I didn’t want to go home haha. Breakfast offers a great choice, with nice service. We didn’t get the porridge we ordered on the first day but we were so full we didn’t mention it, I know if we had it wouldn’t have been a problem, the staff are super friendly! The food itself is very nice and high quality. The location of the hotel sits atop the city next to the castle. It will pose issues for people with mobility problems, but that can be solved with using your car with a permit and taxis. It’s in a lovely location and we walked into the city multiple times only requiring a taxi back once because it was very late. Access to the hotel, rooms and rear gate, is via coded locks which is very convenient to come and go as you please but feel safe that no one else can get in. We will absolutely return and do highly recommend giving it a try!

Great location (if you are OK with hills/steep slopes), amazing views, very friendly and fabulous breakfast! mattresses as they get too hot and don't support the back. but otherwise comfortable rooms with tea/coffee etc. We really enjoyed our brief stay.

Stayed here on a 2 night break and the place is lovely with great original features throughout . Our room on the top floor has been modernised and with high pitched ceiling and large window made this very open and airy. Staff were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Although I love a cooked breakfast this was extra but to be honest the continual offering was superb. Finally, the walk to the cathedral and castle were minutes away which started our day and ended around the river area. Overall, a lovely little place and as the owners said, it’s been a working project but it’s quirky and quaint. Will be staying here again and thanks again for the lovely stay and hospitality.
