“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Beautiful guest house situated in the hamlet of Carlton Miniott approximately 1 mile outside Thirsk itself, some 300m from Thirsk rail station and a short 10 minute stroll from the race course. Amanda is a wonderful, accommodating host for whom it is never too much trouble. The bedrooms are all en suite, spotlessly clean, well proportioned and beautifully decorated. Each has a flat screen tv, hair dryer, alarm clock, bottled water, kettle, tea, coffee and fresh milk sachets. The en suite has lovely large bottles of shower wash and body lotion.
Breakfast both well cooked and plentiful. We loved the sausages so much we ordered some to take back home with us!
I can't recommend this place highly enough.

“James Herriot Country”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We had a wonderful stay at the "Poplars", comfortable and quiet room. Amanda was a great host and the "Full English" breakfast was outstanding. We ventured out to "The George" for dinner and enjoyed fresh shot rabbit and the local bitter. Thirsk is a great area and we especially wanted to connect with James Herriot's/Alf White's Yorkshire.

Room Tip: Our room had an outside entry, very private.

“A really comfortable b and b!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

I spent a really comfortable couple of nights at this lovely b and b in October. The bed was fab and I had the best nights sleep for some time. The breakfast was gorgeous and kept me going all day. I was made very welcome and loved the beautiful Bailey.

“Well Managed, Service Oriented B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

When I walked up to The Poplars I was greeted by name. They were expecting me and everything was prepared in this well-managed B&B. I was asked what time I would like to have breakfast at, and I did not find out until later that the time I selected was earlier than their usual start of breakfast. They just accomodated my request. When the time came to leave I was offered a lift to the railroad station, which is only about 300 meters away but I accepted because it was drizzling.

My room and bathroom were both large and clean. The hotel was quiet and I felt it was secure. The breakfast was ample with eggs that were cooked to order. I would not hesitate to choose The Poplars again.
