Norton House was originally built in 1840 and is today a fully refurbished yet traditional country retreat. Superbly located only 5 km (approximately 3 miles) from Edinburgh International Airport and 14.5 km (approximately 9 miles) from the bustling Edinburgh city centre. Whilst there visit the Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Zoo and the Royal Botanical Gardens and Festival Theatre.
Pass the stone gatehouse and follow the long, tree-lined drive to the house, pea hens skittering in front of the car. You will be in no doubt you have found a traditional country house retreat.You haven't left the modern world that far behind. This imposing Victorian mansion set in 55 acres of verdant lawns, secluded parkland and meadows is just a short distance from the vibrant city of Edinburgh. Norton House itself offers the best of both worlds too. In the original manor, with its grand staircase and period furnishings, you'll be delighted by the quiet opulence of oak panelling, ornamental ceilings, deep-buttoned leather and rich brocades. Yet, moving further into the House, you'll discover rooms that give comfort a more contemporary look. Leather, mirrors, satins and silk are used to create a style that's much more modern but no less sumptuous. But if the decor is varied, the hospitality you're offered will be entirely uniform and totally genuine. It will set the tone for your entire stay and create an atmosphere that will quickly make you feel completely at home. Its a feeling that is fuelled by fine wines and award-winning cuisine, as well as the comforts provided by the luxurious rooms.Norton House Hotel is pleased to inform you that from September 2007 a further 36 luxury bedrooms will be available, giving you even more choice. No expense has been spared in providing luxury furnished, fully air conditioned en suite guestrooms, complete with all the comforts and technology and perfectly suited for either business or pleasure stays.From December 2007, the Norton House opens its brand new conference and banqueting centre with leisure arena.
