Excellent and rather special location in the centre of Newark. It's ight on the river opposite the lockgate and so close to the castle. Right amid the lovely shops and the park over the river. The overall presentation and styling of the property and rooms (we had rooms 2 and 3) were lovely. Loved the tea and coffee facilities with beautiful cups and water. Parking super close by and although there was no breakfast available at the property Gannets coffee shop was nearby for a fantastic brunch with great staff, service and prices.

One tiny thing that slightly fell short was the paintwork in the bathroom which quite marked which was a shame as the whole place would have been perfect otherwise.

Location excellent. 2 mins to high street. Very quiet overlooking the lock. Beds comfy, new ish bathroom. Very old building. Easy getting in as no staff present. Good wifi. Parking available but didn’t use it.

No bed side lights to read at night. All lights were high up and bright. Bed side lights were on a pulley cord and could not be dimmed. The cistern handle was partly loose so took a bit of effort to flush properly. Also cobwebs above the bed in the corner and above a picture (above bed). I emailed the owner to ask something but he didn’t get back to me.

The location was perfect, private parking, next to river for walks/run and a beautiful pub/restaurant as well as the main high street. Quiet building, very clean, modern cottage decor, huge bathroom with bath and rain shower, large comfy bed, smart TV, couldn't ask for much more for the price!

Would prefer an 11am checkout but not a big deal. Perhaps a desk you can work at with a laptop instead of a coffee table and chairs would be better used.

Lovely room, amazing location - unfortunately, we arrived the day after the floods, but we had spoken to the owners the day before who would have been fine for us to cancel. We chose not to. The only issue was trying to get into the key holder - we had decided to pop over in the afternoon as we were headed to a family party down the road and so pleased we had, otherwise we'd have been trying to sort it out at night in the dark. It was all sorted quickly and without fuss. Rooms were lovely and warm, good quality tea and coffee. Can recommend and would definitely stay again

Nothing

Very quaint and smart room, ideal location by the riverside and seeing the odd barge transiting through. Good parking facilities and nice to have local pub restaurant adjacent the property. Communication from property facilitator gave clear and informative instructions on finding the place as well as responsiveness and understanding of our needs.

Nothing bad to say about this

A great find, loved the location and the dedicated parking. The room was comfortable and clean it had everything you needed to enjoy a short break.The view of the barges and boats passing through the lock was entertaining. Seating was available outside(within the boundary) and further benches just by the lock. Good position for access to the town a short walk away. Handy little micropub tucked away in the courtyard and a restaurant next door serving a variety of great food (there was a discount voucher for it in the room) at good prices. All in all, it's a quiet spot, and we would definitely stay again.

Pre-stay communication such as directions, access to room, local facilities etc excellent. Location excellent by the lock and very near the town centre. We were in a twin room with a lovely ensuite and a small fridge which we found very useful. The neighbouring pub was very nice and the recommended cafe was outstanding.

We did find the room a little smaller than expected which meant there was no room for a chair.

Fantastic location, with direct access to major road networks, also a pretty location should you wish to be a tourist. The private parking was easy to locate and QR code to scan was very simple. The riverside were also super accommodating with accepting our luggage pre check in too.

Being up super early it was rather cold with the dip in temperatures, however by 6/6:30am the heating had come on and we were nice and toasty again.

We loved the quirky décor and uniqueness of the rooms. Each room is different, and ours had really well thought out touches in lovely colours. It was also surprisingly quiet at night, and we loved sitting in the comfy chairs by the window watching the lock being opened, with a cuppa and a book. There were no facilities for eating at this venue (which we knew in advance) so took recommendations from a local shop, which were very good - The Lord Rupert pub for dinner, and Gannets for breakfast, both extremely nearby. Newark has amazing architecture, but we were sad that it is clearly suffering from economic struggles. This was a really good place to stop en route from Yorkshire to home in Surrey, after our holiday, and was a charming place to end our holiday.

The bathroom was a good size and we really liked the taps which kind of looked like a bubbling stream. We had a bit of a fight with the shower, and a bath was tricky as the plug didn't stay in. We're not that tall, but if you are, the sloping ceiling might be a bit hazardous.

Excellent location for walks along the river and some great places to eat. Excellent room with teas, coffees hot chocolate and biscuits, beautiful toiletries. Everything you could want.

The light outside the building was really bright it was on all night we could have done with blackout blinds to dim the room a bit more.
