The Spotlight on Bestwood Lodge Hotel

Victorian Elegance Meets Concert Convenience

Modern gigs meet royal history at the Bestwood Lodge Hotel, a grand Victorian property nestled in 700 acres of peaceful parkland. Once a royal hunting lodge for King Charles II, this unique hotel blends historic charm with easy access to Nottingham’s music venues—just a 15-minute drive into the city center. With free parking, Wi-Fi, and two stylish bars, it’s a relaxing retreat for concert-goers who want a dose of character with their convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel offers a welcome escape from the buzz, yet you’re still close to the action. Central Nottingham’s top venues and nightlife are just a short taxi or rideshare away, and the hotel’s peaceful setting offers a quiet place to unwind after a late-night show. With flexible check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, there’s time to rest and recover.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to combine music and countryside charm
  • Solo travelers wanting a unique and memorable stay
  • Couples planning a music-filled romantic weekend
  • Fans who need a quiet, comfortable base post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music fans thanks to free parking and Wi-Fi

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up dishes with a continental twist, perfect for pre-show fuel or a post-gig bite. The Foyer Bar offers cozy fireside drinks with traditional oak paneling, while the Garden Bar and terrace is ideal for sunny afternoons. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the friendly staff are happy to help you with late bites or directions to nearby eateries.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the bars provide a relaxed vibe with a local feel. You're just a short drive or cab ride from Nottingham’s best clubs, pubs, and live music venues, making it easy to dive into the nightlife scene and return to tranquility.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s historic charm, peaceful location, and friendly staff. Reviewers often mention the beautiful parkland surroundings and appreciate the free parking and Wi-Fi. The characterful rooms and on-site bars also get plenty of love.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the décor leans more traditional than modern, so if you’re expecting sleek minimalism, this may not be your style. A few reviews mention that the building can feel a little creaky—charming to some, quirky to others.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after peace and personality with easy access to Nottingham's music scene, Bestwood Lodge Hotel hits the right note.

Business trip, overnight stay

Liked: The original room allocated was right above the noisy kitchen fans but Reception changed the room immediately. Breakfast was very good.
Disliked: I was going to stay here for a previous visit when my wife and dog were travelling with me - but the hotel isn't dog friendly so we booked elsewhere. It was a shame because this hotel was so much nicer than the one we went to.

Exceptional

Liked: Location: The atmosphere was amazing. The staff was so helpful and friendly. It's set in a country park which is absolutely beautiful. The roosm are spotless and comfortable. Live that they have different royal names for each room.
Disliked: You will need a car or taxi to get to it. Has it's in the middle of a country park. You can get public transport to halfway, but it's a good 20-minute walk. So the best option is a car or taxi.

Poor

Liked: The decor and most of the staff were friendly
Disliked: The rude staff that decided to wake me up having a conversation , not quietly either, right outside our door for about ten minutes until I told them to take it elsewhere. I complained to reception and all she did was say sorry! I booked this hotel as I was at an event and would be up late and needed to get decent rest before a long drive home!

Lovely heritage hotel!

Liked: I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and was immediately captivated by its distinctive architectural character. The building is a true gem, with a historical charm rarely found in modern accommodations. Walking through the property felt like stepping back in time, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the story behind its design.The hotel's restaurant served excellent fish and chips that were absolutely delicious. The property also offered ample on-site parking, which was very convenient.The bed was comfortable and I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the bathrooms and facilities on offer, which greatly enhanced my comfort during the stay. The hotel provided thoughtful touches that made a difference, including generous supplies of tea and coffee, canned water, and even biscuits in the room.The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, always eager to assist with warm smiles.
Disliked: While I noticed some signs of age, such as worn carpeting and faded paint with minor scuffs, most of these details actually added to the authentic, lived-in character of the place.
