The Lions
55 London Road, Newark, Nottinghamshire, Newark upon Trent, NG24 1RZ, United Kingdom – Excellent location - show map
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.
