Rooms to let in Nottingham

Nottingham is regarded as one of Britains most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities. The compact city centre combines heritage and history with contemporary culture from the world s oldest pub to voguish style bars, from traditional markets to unique designer boutiques.

Nottingham is one of the best retail centres in the UK, particularly for fashion. From local designer-made-good Paul Smith s eclectic flagship store to dozens of designer boutiques, the big High Street labels to secondhand bargains.

Nottingham also has a strong reputation for contemporary arts, with around 400 practising artists in the city (the greatest density of any European city) and the annual NOW festival attracting innovative international performers. As the inspiration for three of the most significant writers of the 19th and 20th Centuries Lord Byron, D H Lawrence and Alan Sillitoe, Nottingham has great literary connections. Both the novelist Graham Greene and Peter Pan creator, J M Barrie, worked on a Nottingham newspaper.

The Peak District National Park is just a short distance away. As well as beautiful rural scenery, Nottinghamshire also boasts some wonderful buildings like Newstead Abbey (home of the writer and poet, Lord Byron), Southwell Minster and Wollaton Hall. And, of course, Sherwood Forest was once home to Nottingham s best-loved outlaw, Robin Hood.

Finally, take advantage of the fact that Nottingham has more sports facilities per head of population than anywhere else in Europe. How about rowing or canoeing at the unrivalled facilities of the National Water Sports Centre? For spectator sport, Nottingham Forest and Notts County football clubs, the world famous Trent Bridge cricket ground and the Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey Team all compete for your support.
