Absolutely lovely B & B! John and Pablo made us feel so welcome and also offered us a welcome drink in the garden. They cooked us a very tasty English breakfast, gave us a delicious fresh fruit salad and as much tea, coffee and toast as we wanted. The house is beautiful and our room was clean, spacious, comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. We would happily stay here again.

A very clean, comfortable night’s stay. Clean, crisp white bedding, slept so well. It’s a Grade II listed Georgian building. Perfectly cooked breakfast with very personal touches. Loved the interior decor and furniture very tastefully done. Garden to the rear is stunning. Pablo and John are so hospitable and the attention to detail is very evident. Pablo, I loved talking gardening and all things interior with you. Thanks for directing us to the perfect antique shop in Newark. Manjit & Santokh

John and Pablo were so hospitable, it made our overnight stay in their beautiful property memorable. Both our bedroom and ensuite were lovely, spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Location wise, it was perfect for easy walking into Newark and we had a good evening meal at Oscar's Inn just a 3 minute walk from the property. We had a superb breakfast which was cooked to order and were offered as many refills of our teapot as we wanted. We highly recommend a stay at The Lions. Thank you John and Pablo for looking after us so well.

Absolutely lovely B & B! John and Pablo made us feel so welcome and also offered us a welcome drink in the garden. They cooked us a very tasty English breakfast, gave us a delicious fresh fruit salad and as much tea, coffee and toast as we wanted. The house is beautiful and our room was clean, spacious, comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. We would happily stay here again.

素晴らしい伝統的なB&B。古い建物をリノベーションされていて美しいアンティーク家具や装飾の部屋は広く、とても掃除が行き届いていてキレイだった。部屋のトラブルにも事前の報告があり、親切な対応をしてくださり満足でした。そして何と言っても朝食‼完璧なイングリッシュブレックファーストでめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。

Wonderful little B&B run by John and Pablo. Beautiful room, huge bathroom and a very comfortable bed. Great breakfast and excellent hospitality. Short walk into Newark Town. Remains of the old castle on the river are worth a visit. Lovely river walk.

John and Pablo were so hospitable, it made our overnight stay in their beautiful property memorable. Both our bedroom and ensuite were lovely, spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Location wise, it was perfect for easy walking into Newark and we had a good evening meal at Oscar's Inn just a 3 minute walk from the property. We had a superb breakfast which was cooked to order and were offered as many refills of our teapot as we wanted. We highly recommend a stay at The Lions. Thank you John and Pablo for looking after us so well.

Pablo met us upon arrival and was so friendly. The twin room was well appointed and large with comfortable beds and a great shower. Our breakfast was delicious in a beautiful room with views into the lovely garden. I particularly enjoyed the homemade plum jam. We had a very early start on our first morning so Pablo made us rolls up with a fruit salad and bananas which was very much appreciated. A lovely 2 night stay.

John and Pablo are fantastic hosts! Could t do enough for me when I stayed last week for 1 night. Room was very nice - clean and lovely furniture. The house overall is lovely and they have a great garden too - I sat out there eating my dinner and it was great. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had staying away from home - and I stay away quite often. I would definitely recommend and will be back when I’m around Newark again! 🙏

It's a beautiful property, decorated perfectly. Both of the hosts were lovely, with a very warm welcome on arrival. Breakfast was served on the patio in the sun and was really tasty. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
