Where to stay in Meadows
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Rooms are thin on the ground here. Guests generally book in central Nottingham and walk out, since the district's draws are Castle Ground, the Ornamental Pond In Memorial Gardens and the churches rather than a hotel strip. The Wilford end suits anyone happy with a longer walk in, with St Wilfrid's Church and the Wilford Bridge Toll House at the far edge.
Quiet nights are the trade.
