Only a brief overnight stay for an event on Saturday. I felt very welcome and very well looked after. Excellent breakfast in the beautiful garden. It’s my first time in Newark but I’m tempted to come back just to stay here again. Spacious room, excellent facilities and lovely hosts.

John and Pablo were so hospitable, it made our overnight stay in their beautiful property memorable. Both our bedroom and ensuite were lovely, spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Location wise, it was perfect for easy walking into Newark and we had a good evening meal at Oscar's Inn just a 3 minute walk from the property. We had a superb breakfast which was cooked to order and were offered as many refills of our teapot as we wanted. We highly recommend a stay at The Lions. Thank you John and Pablo for looking after us so well.

Beautiful, spacious B&B with hospitable hosts!

Absolutely lovely B & B! John and Pablo made us feel so welcome and also offered us a welcome drink in the garden. They cooked us a very tasty English breakfast, gave us a delicious fresh fruit salad and as much tea, coffee and toast as we wanted. The house is beautiful and our room was clean, spacious, comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. We would happily stay here again.

This was a perfect place to stop in Newark. The owners welcome you so warmly and you feel like you are family whilst there. The room was so lovely and the bath was wonderful. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and the homemade marmalade was excellent. We certainly will go back there again.
