We have just returned from The Poplars, having enjoyed seeing in the New Year with our fantastic hosts Jean & Cliff, and some of the friends we have made over the years we have been staying there.Our stay was one happy event from start to finish. We cannot recommend Cliff & Jean and the Poplars highly enough. The effort that... More

Stayed here for two nights in October this year, whilst attending a wedding in the area. So glad I chose Poplars. Lovely room, comfy bed, very clean and well kept, and an awesome breakfast! I was also dealt with very accommodatingly when I arrived very late Friday, and alternative arrangements were quickly arranged when a friend had to change his... More

A good time was had by us yet again. We have been coming for five years and each time gets better. Lovely homely meals cooked by Jean eaten in the beautiful dining room plus plenty of entertainment provided by Cliff in the bar. We have our savings tins which we are filling up for our next visit when we hope... More

Another fantastic stay with Jean and Cliff - as we stepped through the front door of The Poplars we instantly felt that we had returned "home" as we always do. Our long weekend went all too quickly but the feeling of having been cosseted and entertained remains. As always, every meal home-cooked by Jean was delicious and the evenings spent... More

My wife Shirley and I were fortunate enough to be invited to one of our best friends 50th birthday celebrations at the Poplars hotel a few weeks ago. We arrived a little later than the rest of the party and were greeted by Cliff & Jean who can only be described as a genuinely lovely couple. Within minutes we were... More

We have been here a few times now and celebrated my husbands 50th birthday last weekend with family and friends. Always good food and hospitality from Jean and Cliff. Hotel is spotlessly clean and nothing is too much trouble from two lovely people. Our weekend was made very very special. Can't wait for our next visit.

Kick off your shoes and bring your slippers!! The Poplars Hotel is home from home (and more), a little gem nestling on the North Devon coast. Cliff and Jean combine to form the perfect partnership, Cliff with his quick wit, anecdotes and love of music (ask him to perform his bottles routine) and Jean whose culinary skills are second to...

Combe Martin itself may not be to everyone's taste as it's small and quite quiet. Personally my partner and I love the place, partly because it is small,partly because it's a world away from the towns and cities; but mostly because of the absolutely stunning views and proximity to the sea. Poplars Hotel is a short walk up a hill... More

My wife and I, our son-in-law, two daughters and 4 grandchildren stayed here for four nights in early June 2012. Our rooms were of a very good standard and very clean, one of which at the rear of the hotel, overlooked the outdoor pool and views across to the sea. Our hosts Jean and Cliff were friendly and very helpful... More
