beautiful restoration of historic property. in town location

Etw United States of America

Wonderful breakfast ...the whole place was so elegant but completely clean and comfortable... and such an amazingly friendly welcome. We’ll definitely be staying again.

Gill United Kingdom

Very welcoming hosts enjoyed our short stay will most definitely book again super service and hearty breakfast

Gary United Kingdom

The warm and generous welcome from Pablo and John set the mood of our visit. The space and elegance of the building are complemented by the beautiful decoration and furnishings. Our beds were very comfortable and the shower was great. We could not have enjoyed breakfast more, with a wonderful fruit salad to start followed by a perfectly cooked full English breakfast. The location is both pleasant and convenient. We will certainly recommend “The Lions” to our friends and hope to return ourselves.

Andrea United Kingdom

A very well put together b&b property with rooms and fittings throughout the house of exceptional taste and style. Good hosts who were very knowledgeable and helpful. If you are going to an event at the showground this is a great place to stay with parking on the road outside free and also a few spaces on the property forecourt.

Phil United Kingdom

Excellent hot breakfast, friendly owners - comfortable clean room

Andrew United Kingdom

We only stayed one night and Pablo and Jon made us very welcome. The rooms were beautiful and breakfast was lovely too. We will definitely be staying there again.

Kathryn United Kingdom

Host Review Score 10

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.
