Only a brief overnight stay for an event on Saturday. I felt very welcome and very well looked after. Excellent breakfast in the beautiful garden.
It’s my first time in Newark but I’m tempted to come back just to stay here again. Spacious room, excellent facilities and lovely hosts.

This was a perfect place to stop in Newark. The owners welcome you so warmly and you feel like you are family whilst there. The room was so lovely and the bath was wonderful. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and the homemade marmalade was excellent. We certainly will go back there again.

We had a great overnight stay at The Lions and John & Pablo were excellent hosts and couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome. The room was spotless; the bed incredibly comfortable and the full English breakfast was superb. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Newark and a big thanks again to our hosts for making it such a pleasurable experience.

We needed a stop on a cross country trip, and found this little gem. A lovely listed Georgian house with a very nice garden. The owner was very welcoming, the room was lovely and the breakfast delicious! We'll certainly go again.

Stay at the Lions B&B
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.

This is a lovely Georgian (?) house with a beautiful garden. We had a spacious and comfortable room - and the breakfast was just what we wanted, with porridge, fruit and eggs on toast. Recommended

Beautiful, spacious B&B with hospitable hosts!
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.

Lovely stay in a beautiful home
A lovely welcome and excellent care and attention for our overnight stay. A very comfortable stay in a tasteful and well cared for home. Wide choice of options for breakfast -the quality was superb and endorsed by the opportunity to enjoy it outdoors on the patio. Thank you
