Nottingham hotel wanted - August/September

Grade_A_Reject

I'm doing quite a few overnighters in Nottingham and am looking for a hotel.

I don't mind a bit of a drive, up to 3-4 miles, but I'm working about a mile to the east of the city centre NG3 and would prefer something that side so I don't need to do a cross-city commute in the morning.

Trouble is I don't really like "chain" hotels, Premier Inn, Jurys etc and would much prefer to find a characterful inn that has en-suite accommodation preferably one that sells real ales and has on site parking. Budget is £80 a night.

That doesn't sound too tricky but so far I've drawn a blank!
Anyone with local knowledge that can recommend anything?

Does it have to be a hotel? How about a serviced apartment - this one is great -

it has its own parking area, and its about 5 minutes walk through the Lace Market to loads of city centre bars and pubs with real ale etc. Its 2 streets away from the ring road as well, which will take you out of the city centre and out to the East of the city.

Interesting. I'd seen them on booking.com and had discounted them. I've also seen a place a couple of miles out of town called Colwick Hall that looks ok but a bit "weddingy". My holy grail though is still a nice coaching house/inn if there is anything like that around.

Hi
Hope you don't mind me bumping this up as I will be visiting Nottingham soon and like you would like something that isn't a chain hotel. Any ideas out there?? Thanks :idea:

Booking.com has some cheap ones I've stayed in the brittania for £25 before! I stayed in a guesthouse in ng2, it was callem elm bank apartments or something similar that was nice and was cheap x
