Norton House Hotel & Spa

This was a lovely stay at the end of our trip to Scotland - beautiful country grounds, the staff were all very nice. It was very easy to travel to the airport early in the morning. This location was a little remote -and somewhat difficult to travel into and out of Edinburgh. The restrictions on kids in the pool/hot tub area were a little discouraging - but otherwise lovely stay!!

We are home from a wonderful long Easter weekend as a family at Norton House. I had been hesitant about booking for a family stay as I hadn't seen much in the reviews about peoples experiences taking children here. Suffice to say, I'm incredibly glad I booked! We upgraded to an executive room before arrival which was really straightforward to do. When we got there we were greeted by the kindest women at reception and the manager(?) who surprised my son with an Easter egg. David who showed us to our room was fantastic at making us feel welcome and gave us loads of great information. Our room was beauitful, clean and spacious with excellent amenities - our sons highlights were the tv in the bathroom, having his own "VIP" bathrobe, getting the double sofa bed to himself and the room service milk & cookies before bed - he really was a VIP! The spa and swimming facilities were excellent and every member of staff we came across over the weekend (here and in the hotel) was so warm and friendly. We were spoilt for choice with breakfast both mornings courtesy of the lovely selection of continental options, the breakfast buffet and the added made to order options on the menu. All the personal touches throughout our stay really made it a super special weekend and we will definitely be back the next time we return to Edinburgh.

Really enjoyed our over night stay. We met up with family. Everything was really enjoyable. Couldn’t get over the changes made to the hotel so much nicer. We hadn’t been to the hotel for a long time. We had dinner which again was well presented. Breakfast again was lovely. I cannot find any problems at staying at such a lovely hotel. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I lost an earring and some caring member of staff found it for me. We will definitely return

Norton House was even better than described. The junior suite had two bathrooms, one with a TV over the tub, daily maid service, and a balcony. Food was spectacular and the service perfect, like living at Downton Abbey. Don't miss the champagne afternoon tea.

This is a beautiful place to stay with luxurious rooms, a fantastic pool / spa / gym and great breakfast. The grounds are beautiful and it's nice to just walk around, imagining you lived in a Downton Abbey-type estate. The kids loved it too.

My wife and I stayed here with our two-year old son as a treat for my wife's birthday. The hotel looks lovely and is set in grounds that provide a refreshing walk around the gardens. The concierge (Calum?) was extremely welcoming and professional. I had requested an early check-in before 3pm in case our son required a nap and they exceeded themselves by making our room available before 1pm! The executive room was ideal for a family of 3. The spa facilities were the highlight of the stay and we had a wonderful time in the swimming pool. We'd definitely go back just for this! For dinner we decided to have some nibbles in the Conservatory. The man in charge there was very welcoming and helpful, providing our son with some stickers and pens. It was very pleasant relaxing here until my wife had to leave suddenly to change my son. I stood up to leave too, intending to pay the bill at the bar when I paused for a moment to check we had all our son's toys. When I turned a waitress suddenly appeared beside me practically waving the bill in my face as if we trying to run out without paying! I know that sort of thing happens but we're not the sort of people to do that and I really didn't appreciate it. It put a bit of a damper on the day. Apart from this one instance we had a very pleasant stay and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a short break in the country.
