Where to stay in Nanpantan
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Nanpantan is village-scale, so hotel choice sits back in Loughborough itself. Local rooms number close to none. What the edge offers instead is quiet: lanes running out to Nanpantan Reservoir, the fields of Charnwood beyond, and a short drive back into Loughborough for restaurants, shops and transport.

About Nanpantan
What are the main landmarks in Nanpantan?
Water and one small building make the entry. Nanpantan Reservoir holds its water at the edge of the Charnwood country, and the small Nanpantan Mission Room survives from the years when the settlement still stood clear of Loughborough. Saint Mary in Charnwood covers the parish.
Neither the Mission Room nor the reservoir is grand.
What is the history of Nanpantan?
Nanpantan was a village before it was a suburb. Loughborough expanded south-west until the two ran together, and what had been farmland on the Charnwood side of the town became streets of housing with the old settlement still legible at the middle. The Nanpantan Mission Room keeps the village name.
The ward name survives.
Where is Nanpantan?
Nanpantan sits south-west of Loughborough, on Charnwood ground where Nanpantan Reservoir holds its water among the fields at the outer edge of the town.
