Holiday Cottages in Nottingham
Whatever the occasion we have an incredible house for you
Called the “Queen of the Midlands,” Nottingham is a haven for lovers of history. There’s the connection to Robin Hood, of course, but the city holds many more fascinating traces of the past from his era to ours. There’s much going on in Nottingham today, too – it was chosen as England’s “Home of Sport” by England’s official tourism board, for one. And there’s a reason Nottingham was once called “the City of Caves” – that’s a secret you’ll definitely want to explore when you visit.
In short, a trip to Nottingham is truly unique. And what could make it even better but a stay in a luxury Nottingham cottage? A kate & tom’s holiday home is the perfect place for you to get together with friends and family before your outings and unwind after a long day investigating the city’s treasures.
Visit Nottingham for history, caves & sport
Nestled among the forests and scenery of Nottinghamshire, Nottingham is an adventure through England’s eras. And there’s no better example of that than the 800 caves hidden beneath the city. For more than 1,000 years, the people of Nottingham have dug out caves in its sandstone, for purposes ranging from storage to bomb shelters.
Today, you can tour some of these caves through an attraction suitably called City of Caves. You’ll definitely want to visit famous historic pubs that extend into the rock below too – like Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, called England’s most ancient inn.
Other key historic spots include the National Justice Museum and the city’s Lace Marketarea, as well as museums exploring Nottingham’s industrial history like the Nottingham Industrial Museum or the Framework Knitters’ Museum. And how could we miss mentioning Nottingham Castle, the starting place of the English Civil War?
If you’re a sports fan or avid athlete, Nottingham is the right place for you too. There’s heaps to do including ice skating at the National Ice Centre, tennis at the Nottingham Tennis Centre and cricket at the famed Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
One-of-a-kind activities in Nottingham
Make sure to keep room in your schedule for some Nottingham fine dining. Top restaurants include Restaurant Sat Bains, which has two Michelin stars. Or try Iberico World Tapas and Kushi-ya, both boasting the Michelin Bib Gourmand award for more moderately priced delicious cuisine.
While you’re touring the city, don’t miss visiting Wollaton Hall. It’s a 16th century manor with stunning grounds that hosts plenty of exciting events, too – so check their schedule to see what’s on.
And if you’re in Nottingham in the autumn, the Goose Fair is a must-see. It’s a massive funfair with loads of rides and foods to try out.

It’s clear that the City of Caves is a great destination. But what could make it even more special? Going home in the evening to a fabulous luxury cottage right in Nottingham. Or having the ultimate place to relax, have fun and spend time together for an entire day (or more) of your trip!
