    Really lovely house, great garden, which we were free to enjoy. Our bedroom was excellent with huge en suite bathroom and truly comfortable bed. To say our hosts were welcoming does scant justice: from first to last they made us feel we had chosen...

    This is a beautifully and tastefully restored Victorian house done with an exceptional eye to detail. The decor, the fittings, the linen - are all beautiful. The 2 hosts are delightfully interesting and welcoming people. Nothing is too much...

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.
