The Riverside Rooms

Great place with LOTS of charm!

The Riverside Rooms are in a super location, right on the canal surrounded by historic buildings. A really fantastic view right outside. It's quiet, has free parking and near to a couple of pubs. The room itself is clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. It's not your sterile hotel room. We stayed on a really hot day and the room was lovely and cool. I had a great sleep. It's an old building and the ceiling in the bathroom is sloped, so if you are very tall you are going to have to take care in the shower, I'm going to say that this is part of the charm and I was absolutely fine with it. Despite being central it's so lovely and quiet there that we were able to leave the window open and hear the water trickling through the lock at night, which was a real treat. It's next door to a pub with a good range of meals and also a super CAMRA micro pub, so you don't have to go far to find yourself some refreshments. We were really pleased we chose to stay there, it's good value.

Room was great and all of the amenities were top notch. Great bed, good shower, big tv, fan in room to keep cool. Booking process and room access was convenient. Can’t fault it - oh, and a nice view over the lock near the river Trent. Walkable to town and next door to the castle.

Return visit to the Riverside Rooms - lovely place to stay, comfortable well appointed room overlooking the river.

The most idyllic location in Newark on Trent, this beautiful lock house has been renovated in too a wonderful place to stay! It makes me so happy to see small business investing into the local area too. Sadly I would have loved to have spent more time at The Riverside Rooms, however it was a flying in and out visit to the area and a last minute booking and what a perfect booking it was. I was assisted with an early bag drop at 11am, and was able to check in later that evening, it was a very cool evening, but opening the door to room number 4 was a very welcoming surprise, toasty & cosy room that was so stylish, clean and ample amounts of tea coffee and snacks 😄. The location was fantastic, and private parking with a simple QR code registration. I was hesitant about parking over night in the area but Newark/The Riverside has taken me by surprise, I was very happy and content to stay and park over night. I would actually stay again, it’s a perfect location for some sightseeing and local access to the town.

A lovely small cottage room (only 4 in premises). I had Room 3 which was clean and functioning. A tower fan fought against 32 degree heat and failed. You could not open a window and thus we cooked in the room. However normally this would be a great stay as the castle is a minute away and the town centre very close. Despite the heat would recommend
