After a long drive, Lisa's home made chocolate tart & coffee served in the beautifully appointed, nostalgic sitting room was a touch of paradise. Moving on to the bedroom with four poster bed was equally delightful & elegantly furnished with many interesting pieces. A great place to stay if you want a break in a period property which has been... More

We recently stayed at Compton House, Newark and it was wonderful. Lisa made us very welcome when we arrived and we were given a wonderful room with four poster bed. We were given a key to the front door so we could come and go as we pleased. The breakfast in the morning was lovely with many home made things... More

We stayed just one night but were made as welcome and comfortable as old friends. The room was every bit as good as the best hotels and the breakfast lived up to its award winning reputation. Lisa was at pains to make our stay as pleasant and enjoyable as she could. Nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly recommend!

All the complimentary reviews that I had read were right! Lisa was a wonderful hostess, very friendly and welcoming. The house itself was elegant and comfortable, and I loved all the antiques and furnishings. As I had also read, Lisa is a very good cook, and the breakfasts and evening meal that I had were truly delicious. She patiently listened... More

Whenever friends visit us in Nottinghamshire, we book them into Compton House and then sit back and listen to the superlatives. No one ever wants to leave there ,far less come to our house!

We have been staying at Compton House for the last four years whilst attending a trade show and have always had a superb stay.
