Why West Bridgford is THE Place to Stay if You’re Relocating to Leicester

30/7/2015

0 Comments

 
West Bridgford is a lovely small town just south of Nottingham across Trent Bridge and has been voted one of the top ten places to live in the UK for years. The area has so much to offer which is why more and more people are choosing to stay in our serviced apartments when they relocate to Leicester.

Well connected

Being in the East Midlands, West Bridgford is pretty much the centre of the universe, sorry, the UK.  It’s a mile from Nottingham city centre, Leicester is less than 25 miles away and East Midlands airport is just a 20-minute drive out of town.

The Trent & Holme Pierrepont

The Trent – about 5 to 10 minutes’ walk from our properties – divides Nottingham and West Bridgford and is the perfect place to while away an idle Sunday afternoon. There are some lovely walks along the river or if you prefer something more energetic, you can cycle round The Big Track, a 12-mile circular ride along the local waterways. It’s also a great spot for runners and not surprisingly rowers and dragon boaters too.

If you’re really into your watersports Holme Pierrepont, home to the National Watersports Centre, is only two miles outside West Bridgford. You can get involved in all sorts of exciting activities there, including white water rafting, wakeboarding, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and power boating.

There’s also the sky trail for children, as well as mini golf and segways, you can even try open water swimming – but we’d much rather go to Rushcliffe Leisure Centre to swim!

For sports fans

If you’re more of a sports fan than a participator, West Bridgford is the perfect place to stay. Trent Bridge cricket ground is just along Bridgford Road (where the Ashes are being hosted from August 6 to 10 this year), the City Ground (home to Nottingham Forest) is next door, and Meadow Lane (where Notts County plays) is the other side of the river, all within easy walking distance of our serviced apartments.

 A night on the town

People from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire travel to West Bridgford for a night out, it’s the place to go whether you’re looking for a cold beer at the end of the day, a meal out with friends or to dance the night away. We’ve got loads of cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from, including Carluccio’s, escabeche, Copper, The Parlour, Côte and Yumacha.

And finally, the park

Sometimes you just need somewhere to take the paper and chill out and our gorgeous local park is right in the middle of town opposite Central Avenue. If the sun’s shining you can grab an ice cream from Alfresco or if the weather isn’t so great they do excellent coffees. And if the family is visiting that weekend, there’s a brilliant children’s playground and an outdoor gym in the park too.

If you or your staff are relocating to Leicester and you’d like to find out more about our serviced apartments in West Bridgford, feel free to give Katie a call on 07905 322113.

7 Reasons Why You'll Never Want to Stay in a Hotel Again

8/7/2015

There are loads of great reasons why business executives on short-term assignments in Loughborough are choosing to stay in our beautiful serviced apartments rather than at hotels. Once you’ve read this, we reckon you’ll want to stay with us too!

 



1. Home from home
When you relocate you might have to be away from your family for a while but you don’t have to miss out on all your home comforts.

Short-term lets are a home from home, you’ve got free Wi-Fi, parking right outside the door, and many of our properties have a garden to sit in and enjoy a cold glass of wine after work.

The kitchens are really well equipped so you can cook for yourself if you want to, and rather than having to endure a cup of instant coffee with long-life milk made with the world’s smallest kettle, you can enjoy real coffee from a Nespresso machine.

There’s also plenty of space if your family want to visit and we can organise cots, highchairs and baby cutlery for the smallest member of the family.

2. Treat yourself
You’ve got to have some treats when you’re away, right?

Our brilliant housekeeping team (known as “The Pink Army” due to their marvellous uniforms) pop in every week to take care of all the cleaning and tidying, they’ll also change your towels, bed linen and tea towels, they can even collect and deliver your dry-cleaning on request.

And if cooking isn’t your thing but you don’t want to eat out every night either, we can help with that too. We can send you a menu to choose from then we fill the freezer with your favourite freshly made meals from the COOK shop just down the road.

3. It’s hassle-free
There’s no fitting in with breakfast times, lunch times, dinner times or bar times. There’s no having to park miles away and walk back to your room in the pouring rain. And there’s no having to organise your washing (all of our properties have washing machines/dryers) or phoning reception to try and get an iron delivered to your room at 6a.m. when you realize you haven’t got a shirt to wear that day!

4. Everything on your doorstep
All of our apartments are just a few minutes’ walk from West Bridgford town centre and its café culture and shops, there you’ll find an M&S Food, Carluccio’s, Côte, Costa and enough bars, cafes and restaurants to go out somewhere different every day of the week.

5. Get physical
For sports lovers, the river Trent is just outside West Bridgford town centre and perfect for walking, running, rowing and cycling. A little further away – less than 2 miles – is Holme Pierrepont where you can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, sailing, power boating, open water swimming…


6. Relocation package
If you’re relocating to Loughborough, we can help you find new schools for the kids, and a long-term let for you all to move into once you’ve got settled. We’ve got a special relocation package that takes care of everything you need, please contact us for more details or check out our relocation services information page.

7. You’re in good company.
West Bridgford is just south of Nottingham and only 30 minutes’ drive from Loughborough, Coalville and East Leake in North Leicestershire, where many of our guests work. We’re starting to build a roll call of staff from lots of large local businesses and hi-tech companies in the area, including Loughborough University, the British Geological Survey and British Gypsum/Saint Gobain.
 
There are so many reasons our guests love staying in our serviced apartments, why would you ever stay in a hotel again?
 
For more information about our short stay services, please give Katie a ring on 07905 322113.
