Rooms are simple and functional, each with a flat-screen TV, wardrobe, and private bathroom.

Why Concert-goers love it

Though it’s tucked away in peaceful parkland, the hotel is surprisingly close to Nottingham’s music scene—just a short drive or taxi ride to key venues. After a night of standing and dancing, guests appreciate the quiet surroundings for winding down. While check-in starts at 16:00, early arrivals can explore the lovely walking and cycling trails.

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 dining, there are on-site snack and café options during the day. For more variety, Nottingham city centre’s pubs and eateries are only 10 minutes away. If you’re heading out late, you may want to plan for dinner in the city. Breakfast is available to help you recharge after a night out.

Nightlife Options

The real nightlife is in Nottingham itself, where you’ll find bars, pubs, and clubs close to the city’s music venues. Back at the hotel, the vibe is calm, perfect for crashing after a big night. No on-site live music or bar, so it's best for those who want their nightlife off-site but their sleep uninterrupted.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and a bit no-frills—think more “functional” than “luxury.” The early check-out time (09:30) can be a challenge after a late night. Some guests note that the WiFi can be spotty in certain areas.

The Bottom Line

A quiet, budget-friendly stay just outside the city—ideal for concert-goers who want to unwind surrounded by nature after a night of music.
