The very best places to stay in
Nottinghamshire
Tucked in the heart of England, Nottinghamshire is a land of legend, long wooded walks and leafy beauty. It’s perfect for weekend wanderers and fairytale romantics looking for a touch of folklore and forest air — full of hidden valleys, tranquil waterways and elegant country estates.
The landscape is wonderfully varied: wander through the ancient oaks of Sherwood Forest, drift along the River Trent or explore the rolling Wolds with their pretty villages and market towns. Nottingham itself adds an urban sparkle — a lively mix of history, independent shops, buzzing cafés and a creative cultural scene. See our top Kip tips for the region, below.
We’ve found some truly special hideaways here — quirky converted farm stays, secluded cabins for restorative off-grid retreats and a touch of wild wellness.
