Nice room, big and comfortable. Bottled water offered for free. Tea coffee biscuits also. Easy to find the place. Appreciate the warm welcome by John and Pablo, who are running the place. It was good the Gin Tonic!!! Breakfast rich and delicious, especially the home made jams. Served in the beautiful dining room with classic music is really an excellent experience. The bathroom big and with hot water plus the clean towels and the bathrobe. Lighting in general very romantic.

I need more light to read in the bed. wi-fi had problems and the new provider should fix them.

The hosts, John and Pablo were delightful, warm, welcoming and friendly. They have a beautiful property, we only accessed our room and the dining room and these are beautifully furnished with attention to detail. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding of an excellent quality. Breakfast was high class, a lovely setting, great food and the table was beautifully set and appreciated. We had a 10/15 minute walk into Newark.

I acknowledge that I am 'picky' so this is just probably me, the room would have benefitted from a flick around with a duster.

This is a really special place. I travel an awful lot and rarely remember, or am moved to write reviews, but The Lions is different. Run by John, Paulo and their cat Luiz, this early Georgian red brick villa is beautifully decorated- the fittings and furniture are things you’d be happy to have in your own home, and that might not sound a big deal, but it makes a big difference. Like the sausages at breakfast - proper sausages, not the type you normally get in hotels and B&B’s. Paulo’s homemade jam is excellent, and I’m not sure who is responsible for the garden, but I think half the David Austin catalogue is in there, beautifully arranged as you’d expect. My favourite bit of my stay though was how immensely genuine and likeable the hosts were. I tend to book hotels rather than B&B’s for fear of feeling like I’m intruding, but I always felt completely welcome and at home.

Lovely warm welcome. The Lions is beautifully decorated and maintained. We had a very nice twin room overlooking the charming garden. It was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Coffee, tea and water were provided in the room and we enjoyed sitting in the cosy lounge. We were leaving before breakfast and Pablo provided us with a container with delicious fresh fruit and smoked salmon and avocado sandwiches that made the early start and (sadly) chaos on the trains, more bearable!

My car was too wide to get through the gate to park in front of the Lions but there was parking on the road outside. Otherwise, we couldn’t fault our stay.

The location was perfect for walking into the town centre. The hosts Pablo and John were very welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was lovely. Our room was the deluxe double, which was a spacious room, very clean, with a comfortable bed, decor was lovely, and had a bath and a shower. After check-in, we were invited into their beautiful garden for a welcome drink, I had a glass of wine, and my wife had a gin and tonic before we headed out to explore. We would definitely stay here again.

The Lions is a beautiful house with fabulous gardens, especially the roses. We had a welcome drink on the patio surrounded by flowers. Our room was gorgeous and very big, with attention to every detail. Our bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and the homemade jam was delicious. There was plentiful free parking on the road outside and the castle, town and river were within easy walking distance. Thank you Pablo and John for the most enjoyable stay, we wish it had been longer.

There was nothing to dislike

Pablo and John are wonderful hosts. It's a lovely house with spacious rooms and a garden, and you're immediately made to feel at home. It's how you imagine a good B&B should be, a great alternative from hotels if enjoy a more informal and friendly atmosphere. You can also easily walk to Newark North Station in under 20 minutes if you don't want to take a taxi.

The bathroom in our room was adequate, but a little cramped

Pablo and John, were both there to welcome us upon arrival and even better they offered us both a glass of wine, a perfect start to our break. The room was lovely, overlooking the beautiful garden, very cosy with comfortable beds. We were both asked what we would like for breakfast, which was all cooked to order and delicious. It was our first time in Newark and hopefully not our last, we would not hesitate to book the Lions again.

nothing all was spot on!

The Lions is easy to find and there was no problem with parking. The hosts are very friendly and attentive and we were made very welcome. This lovely 200 year old house has been superbly and sympathetically renovated and the garden is beautiful. Our rooms were very well equipped and comfortable - just what we needed after a gruelling 4 and 1/2 hour drive. There were plenty of breakfast options. Our breakfasts were generous, beautifully and well prepared, and served with a personal touch that made us feel special.

There is really nothing very negative to say. There are no ground floor rooms but we had our 92 year old mum with us and she managed the stairs easily. We had to go out for our evening meal and apart from one local pub (where the food was good, actually) there was nowhere else easily walkable for mum. However, there are lots of venues in and around Newark town centre only a short journey away. So if you are able or mobile the location of the Lions is not really a problem.

Everything. The beautiful period building, the wonderfully friendly and attentive host John & Pablo, the comfortable bed, the great shower and the amazing breakfast in the stunning English country garden! This place and the hosts are A* - we were made to feel so welcome and can't wait to visit again! We only wished we had more time to enjoy being there but we're staying for an event nearby, we could have sat in the garden chatting all day!

Nothing! We couldn't fault a single thing! We usually stay in hotel chains, and was unsure what to expect in a B&B but we were delighted! John & Pablo really go the extra mile to give you a lovely memorable stay. We will be back next year!
