201***91:“The University of Nottingham is much more famous than Nottingham's tourist attractions. Nottingham Castle is one of the few tourist attractions. It is called a castle, but it is not a big house or a big manor on the hillside. If the owner lived there, it would be very comfortable. The square house and the hillside grass around it would be very comfortable. The interior of the house has been converted into a museum and art gallery, so there are not many historical relics.”

Rara2go:“500 acres of parkland nearby the city centre of Nottingham. The grounds house a Grade I listed Elizabethan mansion and gardens. It’s free to enter the hall with no ticket needed to view the collections of wildlife. The gardens and grounds of the park and lake are a beautiful walk. Current pictures taken in Autumn don’t do the colours justice. Autumn is also rutting season so visitors should give the deer their space. The deer are all wild and there are 2 herds, of red deer and fallow. Many locals also use the park for walking their dogs and dogs are to be kept on leash. There is a great children’s playground and coffee shop down at the bottom car park and also a nice little cafe/restaurant up by the hall. Plus steam museum. There are ducks and swans on the lake. Check online for the opening times as they change through the year when the gates are closed at dusk. There are also different events throughout the year such as Christmas lights, concerts, movie nights etc…”

Jessaco:“The whole stay was great, I needed somewhere to stay while work was being carried out on my house. The rooms are spacious and have bathtubs, there was a big desk for me to work at and the internet connection was perfect, I had multiple video conferences and it never dropped once. Housekeeping were kind enough to check if I needed anything everyday, and reception staff were super friendly. Right next to a massive national trust property had some beautiful autumn walks However there is absolutely no phone signal (Vodafone)obviously nothing to do with the hotel it’s just extra info about the area!”

Very clean and comfortable with all new furnishings and new 55 inch tv Unfortunately, I was only booked in for the one night; arrived late and left early. Overall a short but pleasant stay. Would book again in future if visiting Nottingham.”

Shortly after Julia came to our table to inform us that jacket potatoes were unavailable and told us of our other options, which we reordered. Our meals arrived short after and we enjoyed our food.. At the time of our visit the restaurant was quiet but did get busier later on, we liked the seating area that we were placed in.”

She was very pleasant and made sure that we were satisfied with every stage of our meal. The price was very reasonable too. It's cheaper to visit during the week and not so busy. My only concern was the distance to the disabled toilet. But on the whole, a very enjoyable experience”

TheForkUser:“Brought my mother for a Valentine's Day treat and was very impressed with the quality of both the food and the service. While quite expensive, the food was arguably well worth the price in terms of flavour and presentation, despite delivery being a little slow considering that the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. The waitresses were all lovely and helpful, with special mention to Melissa and Alice, both of whom went out of their way to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. All in all a wonderfully pleasant experience which I would highly recommend.”
