WELCOME TO POPLARS.....
We are a working farm in beautiful, sunny Leicestershire. We've been welcoming folk to the glorious big barn (a self-catering holiday let made up of the old stables, grain store and workmen's digs) since 2019. It is completely unique.
We also have three 'Carry on Camping' inspired Shepherd Huts. They come with king-sized beds, wood-burning stoves, comfy cushions and everything you'll need to knock-up supper. There's even a wood-fired hot tub if the mood takes you.
GORGEOUS BEDROOMS
All our beds come with Emma mattresses so you will have the best night's sleep.
RELAXED VIBE
The dining area seats ten in the old grain store, or you can sit in the cosy snug by the woodburning stove
OUTDOOR SPACE
Enjoy sitting out in the field, playing games in the orchard, or take a walk across to the Lakes
PUT YOUR FEET UP
It's all about taking it easy at Poplars. There's plenty for the kids to do, but don't forget about a bit of 'me' time too.
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF ENGLAND
We are close to friendly market town Melton Mowbray (rural capital of food) and beautiful Oakham, but still hidden enough away from all the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for peace and quiet, surrounded by little more than green fields and fluffy sheep, then look no further. The dog's welcome too.

“What an amazing weekend. From start to finish, the barn was perfect for the ten of us. The pictures don’t do the property justice - the small details make the property beautiful. ”
