* We will be staying at Village Hotel & Leisure Club Nottingham and considering that we will be arriving in Nottingham by train from Edinburgh which train station should we take off?
* Is there a night train to save us from one night hotel cost from Edinburgh to Nottingham?
* Any interesting places for our 4.5 years old daughter to see in Nottingham? (like a zoo or something about Robin Hood, Disney etc.?)
* Any outlet shopping near Nottingham?
* Which club or restaurant would you recommend for our two nights at Nottingham again considering our daughter?

Thanks in advance!

The last train out of Edinburgh that would take you through the night to Nottingham is 21:00. It takes just over 10 hours to get to Nottingham and now the bad news - it is not direct. You need to change at York, Doncaster and Sheffield. With a child I would not think it suitable. Have a look at www.thetrainline.com and type in Edinburgh to Nottingham as your route with a 21:00 departure and it will show the times and route.
Village Hotels are very good - all new and have quite reasonable restaurants. The only problem is (more bad news I am afraid) - they are all on the edge of cities. The Nottingham hotel is 6 miles out so its a taxi I guess to and from the hotel.
