The Lodge at Ruddington

Relaxed Luxury Just Minutes from Nottingham’s Music Scene

Modern yet full of character, The Lodge at Ruddington is a boutique bed and breakfast located just outside central Nottingham. With its peaceful garden setting, stylish rooms, and friendly service, it's a quiet retreat that’s still close to the city's top concert venues. Guests enjoy free parking, fast WiFi, and even a free shuttle service to help get around stress-free.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes the perfect balance between convenience and calm. It’s less than 5 miles from major venues like the National Ice Centre and Trent Bridge, making it ideal for catching a show without being in the thick of the city bustle. The free shuttle service is a huge plus for late-night returns, and the 12:00 PM check-out means you can sleep in after a big night. With soundproofed rooms and a quiet garden setting, you'll get the rest you need.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a stylish, shared space with outdoor hangouts - Solo travelers looking for a safe, welcoming base near the action - Couples turning a gig into a romantic weekend - Fans who need a peaceful recharge after a concert - Budget-conscious music lovers wanting great value with perks like free parking and breakfast

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with a generous breakfast—choose between Italian or Asian morning options. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site restaurant and bar offer convenient, cozy dining. And with Nottingham just a short drive away, you’ll find plenty of late-night eateries nearby.

Nightlife Options

While the Lodge itself doesn’t host live music, it’s a short ride from Nottingham’s buzzing nightlife. Whether you’re into craft beer pubs, cocktail lounges, or DJ-led dance floors, you’ll find something to match your post-concert vibe. Back at the hotel, the bar is perfect for a nightcap under the stars on the sun terrace.

What People Say

Reviewers love the personalized service, peaceful atmosphere, and beautifully maintained rooms. The free shuttle is frequently mentioned as a standout feature, especially for concert-goers arriving by train or flying into East Midlands Airport. Guests also rave about the garden views and comfortable beds.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a party hotel—if you’re looking to stumble back from the club into a buzzing lobby, this might feel too laid-back. Some rooms don’t have balconies, so if that’s important to you, be sure to request one when booking.

The Bottom Line

With boutique charm, thoughtful perks, and a quiet setting just minutes from Nottingham’s music venues, The Lodge at Ruddington is a smart choice for concert-goers who want style and serenity.
