The Cottage Hotel

Relaxed Country Charm Just Outside Nottingham

Set in a quiet village just minutes from Nottingham city centre, The Cottage Hotel blends classic country style with modern convenience. With individually designed rooms, peaceful gardens, and free on-site parking, it’s a great base for concert-goers looking for a calm retreat after a high-energy night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Nottingham’s top music venues just a short drive away — including the Motorpoint Arena and Rock City — The Cottage Hotel makes it easy to catch your favourite acts without staying in the city bustle. Free parking is a huge bonus if you're driving in, and while it’s not in the heart of the nightlife, it’s ideal for those wanting a breather post-show. Plus, access to leisure facilities at Roko (just 10 minutes away) means you can unwind in the sauna, pool, or gym the next day.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant provides convenient dining before or after your show, though late-night dining is limited. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the nearby city centre offers plenty of takeaway options. Breakfast is served in the morning — ideal if you've had a late night.

Nightlife Options

While The Cottage Hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have an on-site bar, you’re just a few miles from Nottingham’s buzzing nightlife. From late-night pubs to DJ sets, a short taxi ride gets you back to the action — or back to a peaceful night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and charming atmosphere. Many mention the hotel’s convenient location for events, the quiet surroundings, and the bonus of free parking. The garden views and characterful rooms are also a hit.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the décor is a little dated in places — think classic rather than cutting-edge. The 10:00 AM check-out might feel early after a late concert, so plan ahead if you need extra rest.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers after a relaxing, affordable stay within easy reach of Nottingham’s venues, The Cottage Hotel delivers charm, comfort, and convenience.
