About us

Hi, We’re Martin and Heike - Owners of Poplars Boutique B and B

Nestled in the heart of Lincoln, The Poplars Boutique B and B stands as a testament to a dream that took shape following a year of globetrotting adventures. Immersed in the world of photography and teaching, we, the founders, embarked on a journey that not only broadened our horizons but also ignited a desire to create a sanctuary for travellers seeking solace and comfort away from home. 

Our travels exposed us to a myriad of accommodation styles, from the rustic charm of countryside inns to the sleek sophistication of urban hotels. It was during these travels, and the friendships forged with fellow wanderers, that the concept of The Poplars Boutique B and B was born—a place that mirrors the warmth and hospitality we yearned for during our own adventures.

Upon our return, we transformed our passion into reality, meticulously designing a Bed & Breakfast that encapsulates our vision of the ideal retreat. The Poplars Boutique B and B is more than just a place to stay; it’s an embodiment of our travel-inspired ethos, offering guests a unique blend of tranquillity and convenience, nestled close to Lincoln’s vibrant attractions. Our commitment to providing an exceptional stay is evident in every aspect of The Poplars, from the carefully selected fine quality products to the personal touches that make each stay memorable.

Our sustainability story so far......

At Poplars Boutique B&B, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the environment. Every detail of your stay, from the food you enjoy to the toiletries you use, is carefully chosen to minimize our carbon footprint.

Local Sourcing and Ethical Partnerships:

Food:

We prioritize local sourcing for our culinary offerings, reducing transportation emissions. Enjoy delicious treats from Lincolnshire producers like Pipers Crisps, Breakfast Jennys Jams, and local cheeses.

Tea:

Our tea is expertly curated by local connoisseur Will Battle, and we use fully compostable, plastic-and-metal-free teabags.

Tableware:

Our breakfast crockery is crafted in the renowned Staffordshire Potteries, and our cutlery is designed and made by skilled goldsmiths in the UK.

Toiletries:

We've partnered with a cottage industry on the Lincolnshire/Norfolk border to provide eco-conscious toiletries. Our glass toiletry dispensers, made by Kushi, reduce single-plastic usage and add a touch of Victorian charm.
