Set directly opposite the historic walls of Nottingham Castle, Castle House places you at the heart of one of England’s most characterful and historic cities. From centuries-old legends to grand estates and underground caves, Nottingham offers far more than a day trip making it the perfect destination for a longer stay.
Whether you’re visiting for culture, history or simply to explore, Castle House provides a luxurious and central base for discovering the city at your own pace.
A Stay Steeped in History
Nottingham’s story stretches back over a thousand years, and few locations allow you to experience it quite like Castle House. From your doorstep, you can explore landmarks that shaped the city and inspired legends known across the world.
A visit to Nottingham Castle is a must. Recently reimagined, the castle combines historic architecture with engaging exhibitions, interactive galleries and panoramic views across the city. It’s also central to Nottingham’s most famous tale, the legend of Robin Hood, whose story is woven through the city’s identity.
Beneath the Streets: Nottingham’s Caves
Hidden below Nottingham’s streets lies one of the largest cave networks in the UK. A visit to the Nottingham Caves reveals how these sandstone chambers were used as homes, workshops, storage spaces and shelters over hundreds of years. The caves offer a fascinating insight into everyday life throughout the city’s past and are an essential stop for history lovers.
Justice, Law and Legends
Just a short walk away, the National Justice Museum brings centuries of crime and punishment to life. Housed in a former courthouse and prison, the museum offers immersive experiences, historic courtrooms and powerful storytelling that explores law, order and social history in Nottingham and beyond.
A Day Trip to Wollaton Hall
No visit to Nottingham is complete without a trip to Wollaton Hall, one of the finest Elizabethan mansions in the country. Set within 500 acres of parkland, the hall is home to Nottingham’s Natural History Museum and regularly hosts exhibitions, seasonal events and family-friendly activities throughout the year.
The surrounding deer park and lakes make Wollaton an ideal half-day excursion, perfect for a relaxed walk, photography or a picnic before returning to the city.
The Story of Robin Hood
Nottingham’s association with Robin Hood is everywhere, from statues and street names to museums and historic sites. The legend of the outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor is deeply rooted in the city’s medieval past, linking Nottingham Castle, Sherwood Forest and the surrounding countryside into one enduring story.
Staying in Nottingham allows you to explore these connections fully, rather than rushing through the highlights.
Your Home in the City
After a day of exploring, Castle House offers a calm and elegant retreat. With spacious interiors, luxury finishes and a unique location overlooking the castle, it’s ideal for couples, families or groups wanting a more personal and comfortable stay than a traditional hotel.
From historic landmarks and museums to green spaces and cultural attractions, Nottingham rewards those who take time to explore.
Stay at Castle House and experience Nottingham’s history, heritage and stories — all from one of the city’s most iconic location.
