Relocating to Nottinghamshire - need advice
« on: February 01, 2013, 13:00:53 PM »
I am relocating to Nottinghamshire due to work at some point in the next 4-8 weeks.

Will be working here:- Kirkby in Ashfield



Does anyone live near here? Will be looking to rent a place at short notice so looking for advice on nice areas / areas to steer clear of. I have never been this far north in my life so have literally no idea of the area.

Happy to travel 30mins or so to work to get a decent place for me and my girlfriend. Priority is living somewhere we won"t get shot/stabbed. Am sure I am overgeneralising but I am a southern softie.

Will probably go up at some point soon to get a feel for the area - nice restaurants? Things worth seeing?

I believe James Barber will be a good person to tap up about this Mark. He used to live there.

Hi Mark

I lived in Nottingham for 6 months, had an absolute ball.

Rented an apartment here  :
The Park Estate
http://www.thenottinghamparkestateltd.co.uk/

Was fantastic.. loved the apartment. Would recommend.

This was back in the day before DTD.. don"t think I"d have moved back north if it had been

The pub next to the Riverside Travelodge does epic homemade cheesecake. A thing of pure beauty. You don"t need a main meal before it. Just the cheesecake.

Unfortunately there"s no drooling smiley.

Now all I need is a smiley to express my admiration.

Maybe  :-*?  ;)
