It was so wonderful to arrive at Compton House after a very chilly journey, and be sat straight by a roaring fire. After checking in and a hot shower I really appreciated an hour to read in a comfy chair by the same fire, ( lots of books to dip into) instead of being stuck in my room. It was... More

We have stayed at Compton House on two occasions now. Each time we found the welcome warm and friendly and the food and accommodation excellent. We have no hesitation in recommending both the B&B and the cottage. More

Booked three rooms for an overnight stay with my family based solely upon the review in the Times. After a 3 hour journey from London we were met with a sarcastic comment making us feel immediately on edge and uncomfortable. The room that my daughter was staying in had an insecure lock and when I drew attention to the problem... More

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, this is surely the place to stay if you are ever in Newark or the vicinity. Beautiful town house property you walk in and go wow it is stunning. If you look on the website what you see is exactly what you get no air brushing here!. You get such a warm and genuine welcome from Lisa... More

We read the review in the Times and decided to break our journey home by spending Valentines evening at Compton House. We pushed the boat out and had the Coopers room which has quite the biggest bed I have ever seen and in addition a lovely roll top bath in a romantic alcove (ideal for two!). Gorgeous evening meal by... More

We booked out almost all of the rooms in this great b&b for our bridal party and were not disappointed. Lisa made myself and the maids a lovely dinner the night before the wedding which did the trick. Breakfast was great and the b&b was so flexible - letting all the bridesmaids and partners eat breakfast at different times as... More

Me and Patricia Routledge have been touring parts of the country with a show called "Facing the Music" and when the Newark Palace Theatre summoned we were booked in to Lisa and Mark's gorgeous emporium of a guest house. The house and decor reflect English eccentricity at its best and most sumptuous. Plushy rooms, characterful details (you could only be... More

Warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated - this B&B is divine. Lisa and Mark went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect for us. Breakfasts to die for including homemade jams, marmalades and muesli. We chose to eat-in on the Saturday night and we were not disappointed. The Dining Room looked lovely, the meal delicious and it felt like... More

We stayed here to celebrate a 65th birthday with a visit to the Palace Theatre to see The Pasadena Roof Orchestra. The Compton House is so close to the Town Centre which makes it a great choice. The room was comfortable and warm. Mark & Lisa are very welcoming and we had lovely chats with Lisa over breakfast, which was... More
