Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Excellent location, beautiful B&B, lovely view from our bedroom window, free parking, very friendly and helpful staff!
Loved the decor, the room was spacious and had a great view. The breakfasts were tasty and well cooked.
Just the access, but there is nothing to be done about that!
Great location and lovely staff.
The room was too cold and the shower temperature was sporadic. The cooked breakfast was free but there was a £10 charge to upgrade to a full English or a smaller charge for eggs Benedict. This felt a little awkward.
Location. Privately run B& B
Various small issues
The location is close to the Cathedral Quarter
Parking is not onsite. I messaged booking.com to update the website (which they did) as parking needed to be reserved. I had an awful experience trying to park on streets and was about 10 mins away. I couldn't carry all my items and have a health issue which, had I known parking was off site, would not have stayed. I was on my own and trying to navigate one way streets to find parking was a nightmare. The hall and landing carpet need cleaning and smells. Everything else was very clean.
Booked only day before travel and the location was perfect for the Steampunk event. Lovely little room great onsuite Staff were Very good and accommodating 😊
Room was great maybe other areas may need a little updating or decorating
Great location to hang out in lovely Lincoln . Parking was easy on road always a space Poplars kindly providing a permit. Think Victorian charm meets quirky boutique. I stayed in Elderflower perfect me me on my solo trip. Had a fridge stocked with drinks & crisps plus coffee/tea. The breakfast was delicious beautifully presented & cooked. Little touches like old cutlery and unusual spoons for the preserves. Loved it 😁✨
Nothing except a couple of hooks in bathroom would be handy and a small stool but that’s just me
Good breakfast comfy bed , we recieved a warm welcome. Ideal location. Fresh milk in fridge daily.
Room very small, sheets needed ironing. Parking very tight- but it was free!
Very well presented B&B in a great location.
Nothing.
Good location. Good size room and quiet location. Everything catered for.
Parking was very tight. Had to get others to move so we could leave
Views were great, breakfast in bed was really nice
The driveway wasn’t suitable for a low down car, very steep driveway
The property itself was stunning, in an Excellent location, in beautiful surroundings! Staff and manager friendly and responsive!
The steep hill lol
Great breakfast Stayed in Fig room and really loved it Perfect location Whole house is a lovely cozy vibe Great tea and coffee in room.
The hill into the property is very steep for car and had to move car twice as there isn't parking spaces - not the end of the world at all just good to know
Great location. Very comfortable room. Fab large bed
Parking. But can’t be helped
De locatie. Het bed was ook goed, alleen het dekbed/laken was niet op de breedte van het bed afgestemd. Mensen waren vriendelijk. Ze verzorgen gratis parkeren. Ontbijt was prima.
De douche was heel zacht. Op de kaart die de B&B ons liet zien stond ingetekend dat je kon parkeren waar wij hadden geparkeerd, maar dit bleek voor de laatste twee parkeerplaatsen niet juist. Wij hadden niet goed gezien dat het daar geen zone 1A of 1D was. Advies: kijk goed en niet alleen op de kaart.
A gem hidden near the cathedral. Perfect location. Friendly, helpful staff. Great rooms. Attention to detail and to sourcing ethically. Wonderful breakfasts
The room was quite small, but had everything we needed - including nice tea/ coffee facilities and a decent bathroom. The breakfast was very well done and there was a lot of choice - full English was available for a surcharge, but we had the omlette and cheese and meat platter which were both excellent. The location for the top of the hill/ castle area was excellent... everywhere is within a short walking distance.
The parking was a real let down - we booked this B and B specifically because it had free onsite parking. What they don't tell you is that it is up a very steep ramp on which we grounded our car attempting to access the parking - it's a normal family hatch back with fairly good clearance. The alternative parking is on the street with a residents permit, which was hard to come by.
Unique style and thoughtful touches
Very friendly staff. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was great.
No all good.
great quirky BnB fab location very friendly staff and lovely breakfast very nice toiletries :)
i am nit picking here, but was very warm and no air con - but i appreciate everywhere is warm! it would definately not put me off staying again though
Great location and the breakfast
The car parking situation but I found a park on the street nearby.
Location, cute decor
The parking situation is terrifying - I thought my car was going to roll back Down the hill or just not even make it up the drive, it was note for the faint hearted. I also came back to find my car blocked in? What if I had wanted to use my car during my stay? No one asked, no one. Checked - so that wasn't ideal.
Great location for the old town including the cathedral, castle and numerous restaurants and bars. Staff very friendly and a fabulous breakfast to start the day.
Parking although available will test your driving skills and probably wouldn’t suit low vehicles. We didn’t need our car during our stay so this wasn’t an issue for us. Not for the faint hearted.
Very comfortable, easy access to tourist sights . Staff friendly and helpful.
Very clean room was very good and all commodities were on hand staff were exceptional
The location too hilly because of our age car park difficult to navigate unless a good driver but location to amenities was very good
Location
On site parking provided but difficult access
Tucked away, great views over the city (means a steep climb but worth it). Staff were helpful and it was very clean.
Only downside was room was sooooo hot! Fan was provided but windows and blinds opened every day after we left so heat came straight back in.
Property is very quaint and comfortable.

Very well located, lovely friendly staff

Location and staff with parking
Steep drive
Breakfast was good
Nothing no complaints
Lovely location close to town, clean and comfy with thoughtful extras. Also lovely breakfast with good gluten free options
Not a dislike, but you should warn drivers about the very steep climb up the drive
Ruhig gelegen in einem hübschen Garten auf dem Weg zur Kathedrale, aber man sollte gut zu Fuß sein. Schöne Aussicht und ein wunderbares Frühstück in so angenehmer Atmosphäre! Liebenswürdiges Personal. Ich wäre gerne länger geblieben.
Breakfast was very good. Lovely welcome on arrival Friendly staff throughout Nice neighbourhood
Room was too small Very very hot in the room despite the fan Very limited hanging space
The location is outstanding. Walking distance to everything we wanted to explore: the castle, cathedral and steep hill. Warm welcome, informative and helpful. Room with a fabulous view over the city. Comfy bed, good breakfast and full of character.... Thank you
Lo cerca que estaba del centro histórico y la tranquilidad.
Nada en particular
Unique and quirky boutique hotel. Just our sort of place. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and made our stay a real treat. Ideally placed to walk around Lincoln and its various attractions. Lots to see and do too.
Nothing.
The location to the castle.
I thought the full English breakfast was not value for money.and our room was right at the top of the stairs.
Beautiful room, very clean, close to city centre.
Nothing not to like
The staff are lovely spotless clean mini bar is a nice touch 10 minutes walk away from the train station so no need to drive if you don’t want to
Nothing all good
Location. Small, independent. Great breakfast. Committed to sustainability.
Drive makes parking a little difficult and complicates arrangements - or just adds character to this hillside b&B!
Close to historic part of Lincoln
Room way too hot, exceptional heat stopped us sleeping. I would consider staying in a room that had air con in summer seasons
The lovely view from our bedroom and good choice of food for breakfast
L'emplacement très proche desendroits touristiques. L'établissement a beaucoup de cachet ! L'accueil est agréable. Lit très confortable. La chambre spacieuse. Excellent petit dejeuner, haut de gamme, personnalisé pour chacun, très grand choix. Beaucoup de prises pour recharger les appareils.
La lampe trop agressive qui s'allume automatiquement entre la chambre et les toilettes. Une veilleuse suffirait. Sinon, rien.
Very pretty and quiet too.
Just the driveway is a challenge for a normal sized saloon or bigger.
We absolutely loved this B&B, great location close to the castle and cathedral. Beautiful room and delicious breakfast. The hosts have got everything organised brilliantly.
Great location close to the city centre, 5 minute walk to cathedral and castle (we were here in part for a concert at the castle). Staff extremely helpful. Breakfast good quality.
Although there a limited number of onsite parking space, access is very tricky up a narrow, steep entrance. We feel this should be made clearer on the website as some cars would be unable to get in or out.
food was really good with a good choice of options and location spot on would highly recommend
air con but that's only because of a heatwave others wise no complaints
Lovely and quiet
Great location
Beautiful period property set in central location, perfect for visiting both the riverside and the cathedral and castle
Access to parking is via a tight steep driveway.
Great B&B, excellent location for Lincoln old town. Comfortable and owner and staff friendly and welcoming.

这家酒店确实如它自己写的故事一样,给人一种家的感觉 地理位置很好,挨着motherby hill,一条非常美的街道, 离教堂和城堡也是五分钟的路程 不知道接待我的女士是amber还是kassia或是其他人, 总之服务态度非常热情 装潢典雅,空间很大,重点是整体风格并不像普通酒店一样正式(甚至标准化),而是温馨,和我自己的小房间一样。 我喜欢被子的柠檬洗衣液香气,下次来林肯我还会住这家。
大概是房间不够多,希望下次也能好运的预定上 Second floor房间的花洒可能因为水压不足,在特定角度不出水,但可以克服 顺带,早餐是十点结束,十点结束。

Perfect location for the castle a 3 /4 minute walk. I loved the two big breakfast tables ( seats 6 people ) so a nice good chit chat with other weekend residents. Made to feel welcome.

Alles bestens, leckeres Frühstück

Great location
The drive is not for the faint hearted if you wish to park
Bed extremely comfortable, bathroom excellent and great use of space. Netflix a bonus. Location with back gate access perfect for castle and cathedral. Didn't require breakfast, but smelt great and all reviews were great
Nitpicking, a couple more coathangers maybe.😉
Everything!
Nothing!
Close to tourist centre. Quiet area and accommodation. Very pleasant staff and breakfast. Coffee machine in the room was appreciated.
Parking is a mite awkward. Surprisingly chilly June nights - should have asked for a blanket since the duvet was very light.
Breakfast fabulous. Location close to castle perfect. Cosy room
Parking not great. Maybe clear the area more? To free up more spaces and make it easier to park in general.
Parking spaces are limited, but we have received parking permit to park on the road.
Location. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed.
We found parking a struggle but it’s because our car was big and the bank to get in is extremely narrow.
Very convenient location, helpful staff, excellent breakfast
Excellent
Nothing, everything was perfect
Location was ideal.
No where to turn your car around. Bed and breakfast should mean you get a cooked English breakfast, you shouldn't have to pay extra. Can't see why some give it 10 out of 10.
Very clean and comfortable. Nice touches like fresh milk and choice of good quality tea and coffee in bedroom. Excellent breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location to explore Lincoln.
Excellent location for our concert at the castle, our room was beautiful, exceptionally clean with excellent facilities. Fabulous views over Lincoln. Breakfast was lovely and the service was fantastic. Would definitely recommend 👌
Nothing
Completely on point for the facilities that are so important to a good nights stay: Exceptionally comfy beds, peaceful venue and location, fully equipped quality furnishings and a luxurious shower!
Didn't realise accommodation was on such a steep hill so, although its very close to city centre, it made getting around a little challenging. Best for train/taxi passengers.
Beautiful well appointed, very clean rooms and comfortable beds. location was superb, easy reach of historic lincoln. the parking is well organised, although is steep, guidance given by staff to help guests negotiate this. having parking is an absolute bonus.
A warm welcome from the friendly staff. A clear explanation of how everything worked, breakfast times etc. Very quiet location but very close to the cathedral and castle area. Good size room and bathroom. A fan was provided in the room, also fresh water and a fridge. Continental breakfast with local produce was good.
Three different door codes instead of keys. Plenty of hanging space in the bathroom for towels but nowhere to put your spongebag.
Lovely, friendly guesthouse. Staff were extremely helpful and it was great to stay in a family run business. The location near the castle and cathedral plus some restaurants and pubs is excellent
Very characterful property with period decor
Nothing
Beautiful house with fabulous features. So convenient for getting to the cathedral and about a 12 min walk from the train station. We got a taxi from the train station when we arrived, but after that we walked everywhere from The Poplars. Really welcoming staff, Martin was so helpful and knowledgeable about Lincoln. Breakfast was perfect so much choice all fresh produce. Won’t hesitate to book again.
Nothing to dislike at all.
Everything was high quality, great breakfast, nice decor, great city.
Nothing
Beautiful, comfortable, quiet room with gorgeous view Delicious and generous breakfast options Super friendly and helpful staff Brilliant location, really close to the Cathedral quarter
The very, very steep driveway, but we've stayed before and knew about it, so asked for a street parking permit instead.
We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel, and it exceeded our expectations. It is located in the quiet countryside just outside of Ely, where we were heading the next day. The view from the room was of a quiet river with beautiful weeping willows and an old bridge. I was in awe, and we watched the sunset from our window—a very romantic location, which I wholeheartedly recommend.
Excellent boutique hotel, breakfast selection and quality very good, lovely room, on site parking and good central location for exploring Lincoln.
The hidden ensuite bathroom.
Prefer to perform the housekeeping after customer checkout confirmation. Also, could you remind your Customer that their car park is on a Steep slope & need to park in bumper-to-bumper?
Superb on all levels. Lovely, quirky well-designed room, comfy bed, extremely nice staff, amazing breakfast, very close to Cathedral.
Can you be a bit closer to London please
Free parking Good location Superb breakfast
Tight access to property drive
The comfortable rooms. Friendly staff and good food.
Parking wasn't brilliant.
Easy access to the centre.
The drive access to the premises. Will damage your under-tray (if not badly scrape the undercarriage, (happened to us - even though, was an MPV), if your vehicle is slightly lowered, you won't make it. I suggest, contact them prior to arrival, as best bet would be arrange street parking. Not ideal, but damage limitation.
Access to local amenities. Very good location.

The location, near the top of the Steep Hill area, with car parking provided. Excellent breakfast.
No decaf tea in the bedroom. A wider bed would have been a bonus
It was close to the centre of Lincoln.
Car parking is available.

Very pretty house ideally situated near centre of Lincoln. Nicely decorated bedroom, staff very friendly and helpful and breakfast pastries delicious and plentiful
Nothing but the parking is a little difficult
