beautiful restoration of historic property. in town location
United States of AmericaWonderful breakfast ...the whole place was so elegant but completely clean and comfortable... and such an amazingly friendly welcome. We’ll definitely be staying again.
United KingdomNice friendly hosts, comfy bed in elegant room. Great breakfast
United KingdomThe Breakfast was lovely, our hosts were very helpful and went the extra mile to prepare our room early so we could change before going to a wedding, the garden is lovely, it is a short walk into Newark centre and about 15 minutes walk from the railway station. The room was large and the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed.
United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived and were offered a complimentary G & T and glass of wine, we knew we had made the right choice for our stay. Pablo and John are incredible hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had originally booked for only one night but decided to extend our stay. Although we had to move rooms for the last night, this didn't cause any problems for our hosts. We were able to leave our luggage in our new room before we went out for the day even though the room was not completely ready. We didn't use our car this time, opting for the train instead, but there was ample parking available and if we travel by car to Newark in the future, we know that it won't be a problem to park for the duration of our stay.
United KingdomLarge spacious room , friendly welcoming owners, excellent accomodation.
United KingdomPeriod property in excellent condition and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was exceptional and the short stay was very enjoyable
United KingdomJohn & Pablo really like having guests at The Lions. Very clean and spacious facilities and access to a lovely garden where we were offered a cooling drink on our arrival. Great breakfast served in pleasant surroundings. No problem with parking. Would recommend. Thanks chaps.
United KingdomMade incredibly welcome by John and Pablo, could not ask for better hosts.
United KingdomA wonderful visit that felt more like a country house party with friends, than a B&B stay. Pablo and John were efficient, friendly and helpful at every turn and the house and garden clean, elegant and comfortable. The breakfasts comprised of high quality ingredients prepared with skill and a clear love and understanding of good food. We were fortunate that the weather was superb and breakfast in the garden was a real bonus!

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.
