Where to Stay in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire
West Bridgford is a suburb of Nottingham in the borough of Rushcliffe. The River Trent separates the suburb from the city centre. Two famous sports grounds stand close together near Trent Bridge. These are Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and the City Ground. Most visitors choose a hotel in one of three areas.
The first area is the riverside near Radcliffe Road and Wilford Lane. This area puts you close to both grounds. The second area is the south of the suburb along Loughborough Road. This area has a chain hotel with parking. The third option is a serviced apartment, which gives you a kitchen or a balcony and more space for longer stays.
The suburb has few large hotels. Most places are small or mid-sized, so rooms can run out on match days and concert nights. Book early if your trip matches a Test match, a Forest home game or a big event at Trent Bridge.
Hotels in West Bridgford Nottinghamshire: The Verified List
We kept five properties. Each one appears in at least two independent sources. Where only booking sites back a detail, we say so. Phone the hotel to confirm anything important before you travel, especially check-in hours, parking and breakfast times.
The Beeches Hotel and Leisure Club, Wilford Lane
The Beeches Hotel and Leisure Club sits at 69 Wilford Lane, Nottingham NG2 7RN. Both Expedia and Kayak place the hotel in West Bridgford. Kayak lists the phone number as +44 115 981 8753.
Both listings agree on the leisure facilities. The hotel has an indoor pool, a sauna, a hot tub and a gym. Expedia says the pool opens from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The hotel also has a restaurant called Oscar’s Bar and Restaurant, plus a bar and lounge. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are listed. Expedia adds a terrace and two meeting rooms.
Expedia lists check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. Kayak gives the same times. Expedia says the minimum check-in age is 18 and says late arrival after hours is not available. Phone ahead if you plan to arrive late.
For location, Expedia lists Trent Bridge Cricket Ground about 0.8 miles away and the City Ground about 1 mile away. Kayak puts Trent Bridge at 0.6 miles. The two figures differ a little, so treat them as rough guides. This is the strongest pick here if you want a pool and gym after a day of sightseeing.
Premier Inn Nottingham South, Loughborough Road
The old post called this hotel Premier Inn Nottingham West Bridgford. The listings now use the name Premier Inn Nottingham South. The address is Loughborough Road, Ruddington, Nottingham NG11 6LS. A local business directory places the hotel on Loughborough Road in West Bridgford and also says the hotel sits in the village of Ruddington. Expedia lists the address under Ruddington and answers its own FAQ with West Bridgford. So the hotel sits on the southern edge of the suburb, not in the centre.
Expedia lists check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out by 12:00 PM. The hotel has a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a lift. Free Wi-Fi is listed in public areas, and internet access is listed in all rooms. Free parking on site is listed, with limited spaces. Expedia says pets are not allowed and the property is smoke-free.
This hotel suits drivers who want a chain brand and easy parking. Expedia names Rushcliffe Country Park among the nearby attractions. The same page lists Trent Bridge Cricket Ground within about three miles and the City Ground at roughly two to six miles. We could not confirm walking links to the centre of West Bridgford, so check your route before you book.
River Rooms Nottingham, Radcliffe Road
River Rooms Nottingham is a serviced apartment property at 4-6 Radcliffe Road, NG2 5FW. Sembo lists 15 guest rooms. Expedia also lists River Rooms Nottingham among the hotels in West Bridgford.
Sembo lists free Wi-Fi, free parking on site, laundry facilities and a computer station. Rooms include a kettle, a coffee maker, an oven, a toaster and a microwave. In-room extras include a washing machine, a dryer, a desk, an iron and a hair dryer. Check-in and check-out are contactless.
Sembo puts the City Ground about 0.2 km away and Trent Bridge Cricket Ground about 0.5 km away. Sembo also says you do not need a car here. This property works well for football and cricket weekends or longer stays with a kitchen. Confirm the check-in process by phone, since apartment properties often run without a staffed desk.
The Stay Company, Devonshire Court, Radcliffe Road
The Stay Company opened Devonshire Court in West Bridgford in 2020. Two trade sources reported the opening in October 2020. They are Serviced Apartment News and The Business Desk. Both place the property on Radcliffe Road. The Business Desk says the company runs the site as its fifth property after four in Derby.
The Business Desk says the site offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Each apartment has a private balcony or a garden. The report also mentions off-road parking. We could not find an official page or a current guest review we could read. Treat the listing as partly confirmed and phone before you book.
If you want your own space with a balcony or garden, this is a good option to compare. We cannot confirm check-in hours, so ask when you call.
Gamston Lock, Nottingham by Marston’s Inns, Radcliffe Road
Gamston Lock, Nottingham by Marston’s Inns is a lodge on Radcliffe Road, NG2 6NP. Expedia and Kayak both list this address. Expedia says check-in starts at 2:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM. Kayak gives the same times.
Both listings mention a restaurant, a bar and lounge, a garden and free Wi-Fi. Free parking is also listed. Kayak adds family rooms, cribs, high chairs and ground-floor accessible rooms. Expedia says breakfast is available for a fee. The front desk is open from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and the building has no lift.
Expedia places the City Ground about a two-minute walk away. The same page lists Trent Bridge and Trent Bridge Cricket Ground about six minutes on foot. Expedia also mentions access to the riverwalk. Both sources are booking sites, so we call this property confirmed by listings only. Phone ahead to check the late arrival rule, since the desk closes at 11:00 PM.
Motels and Budget Options near West Bridgford
We found no true motels in the suburb. The word motel is not common in England. Travellers looking for a simple roadside stay will find chain hotels like the Premier Inn above. Gamston Lock is the other plain, practical option on our list.
Many guides use the phrase cheap hotels in West Bridgford. We do not quote rates in this post, because rates change by date and by event. Compare dates on Expedia and read the cancellation terms. Match days push demand up, so a midweek visit often gives you more choice.
Hotels near West Bridgford in Nottingham City Centre
If West Bridgford is full, look across the river. Expedia’s West Bridgford search page also shows a long list of city centre hotels. These include Leonardo Hotel Nottingham, Hart’s Hotel, Crowne Plaza Nottingham, Hilton Nottingham and Park Plaza Nottingham. The same page lists Colwick Hall Hotel and Holiday Inn Nottingham as nearby options, with distances measured from West Bridgford. We did not check these properties in depth, so confirm the details yourself.
Expedia lists Lace Market Hotel and ibis Nottingham Centre in the Lace Market area. A short trip across the Trent links the city to West Bridgford, so a city centre base still works for most plans.
Old Listings We Dropped
The old version of this post named West Bridgford Hall and The Nottingham Belfry. We could not find reliable listings for either property in West Bridgford. We removed both rather than guess. If you know of a current listing, tell us and we will check.
We also fixed the name of the Premier Inn. The old post called the hotel Premier Inn Nottingham West Bridgford, and the old text said the hotel was by the City Ground. The listings we found now name the hotel Premier Inn Nottingham South and place the hotel on Loughborough Road near Ruddington.
Things to Do near Trent Bridge in West Bridgford
Trent Bridge Cricket Ground is the best known sight in the suburb. The ground is the home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. Wikipedia says cricket was first played there in 1838 and the ground opened in 1841. England and Australia played the first Test there in 1899. The ground now holds 17,500 people and hosts Test, one-day international and county matches.
The City Ground is a short walk from the bridge. Several listings above name the ground as a neighbour. Check the club website for tour and match dates before you plan around a visit.
Rushcliffe Country Park lies to the south near Ruddington. Rushcliffe Borough Council runs the park. Entry is free, and the park is open all year. The council lists a visitor centre, a lake with flat paths, a takeaway cafe and toilets. The car park is open from 8am to 6pm. Wikipedia lists more than five miles of paths, three marked trails, a play area and a cycle track. The park covers about 210 acres.
Wikipedia also notes the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre near the park. The centre runs on Sundays and bank holidays. Confirm opening dates before you go.
Getting Around West Bridgford
Nottingham Express Transit trams serve parts of the area. Wikipedia lists Compton Acres tram stop in Wilford on Line 2. Line 2 runs from Phoenix Park through the city centre to Clifton and opened on 25 August 2015. Wikipedia lists other stops along the line in the Wilford and Ruddington Lane areas.
Check the tram map for the stop nearest your hotel, since we did not confirm walking times from each hotel to each stop. River Rooms and Gamston Lock sit close to both sports grounds, so walkers can reach the main sights without a tram. Drivers should ask each hotel about parking rules on event days.
How to Choose Your West Bridgford Hotel
Start with your reason for the trip. A cricket or football weekend points to River Rooms or Gamston Lock, which sit nearest the grounds. A family trip with swimming points to The Beeches Hotel and Leisure Club. A driving trip to the country park points to the Premier Inn on Loughborough Road. A longer stay points to an apartment such as Devonshire Court.
Then check three things by phone. Ask about check-in hours, parking space and any event day rules. Ask about breakfast times too. We list these details from booking sites, and booking sites can fall behind the hotel.
What We Checked and What Remains Unconfirmed
We checked addresses, check-in hours and amenities against at least two sources for each hotel. We checked the Trent Bridge history, the park details and the tram line in public references.
We could not confirm the following. We did not reach official hotel sites, so we cannot confirm current room types. We could not confirm the Stay Company check-in hours or its current status. We did not source drive times from the hotels to the city centre. We did not state any rates. Always confirm by phone before you pay.
