United KingdomVery friendly, Pablo and John are excellent hosts. The house and garden are a credit to them both. The rooms are spotless, and it was a great thought to have a welcoming drink with them in the garden.
United KingdomThe hosts were amazing would definitely recommend this B&B
United KingdomEverything was lovely-the house,the garden, the breakfast and John and Pablo,the hosts, went out of their way to welcome us. Would certainly recommend.
United KingdomBeautiful elegant Georgian townhouse centrally located in Newark. Very comfortable and clean. Bed so comfortable with crisp cotton sheets and a bathroom the size of an average sitting room! Our hosts went to a lot of trouble offering a G&T in their gorgeous garden and finding a sewing kit for a loose button! Breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend!
United KingdomThe property has real character with a lovely rear walled garden to enjoy.
United KingdomWhen people describe somewhere as a home away from home, it usually isn't...but Pablo & John's really felt like our house, just bigger & prettier! What fantastically hospitable hosts, interesting to chat with & generous with their gorgeous garden terrace made available to us. Pablo makes excellent jam & John makes a mean Negroni. The best thing about our visit to Newark was this wonderful place.
United KingdomVery friendly owners, nice chat, delicious breakfast. There is a beautiful garden to sit in, and the lounge is comfortable and stylishly decorated, as is the whole house. Enormous attention to detail everywhere with antique furniture.

Pablo and John
The Lions was built in 1823 and is a Georgian townhouse. For the first 20 years of its existence the house was used as a school - it still has the bell tower and working bell! It is now a lovely B & B with tasteful décor where you can relax.
Originally from Chile, I have lived in the UK for nearly 30 years. I now run a beautiful B & B in Newark. After living in London for the bulk of this time I moved to Newark 2013. We opened on 01.04.15. I am married to my long term partner John.
Newark is an undiscovered gem. It is steeped in history and was the epicentre of the English Civil War - The National Civil War Centre opened on 01.05.15. It has beautiful architecture, a fine market square and always has something going on.
