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!

We've just returned from a lovely weekend at The Poplars and have been really impressed. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay, all staff we came across were very friendly and very helpful, and the location was perfect and within easy walking distance of all the sights. It is on a steep hill so for anyone with mobility problems it may be an issue but otherwise a great place to stay

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.
