Norton House Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

Very lovely property with wonderful breakfast and good restaurant. We enjoyed being out of the hubbub of Edinburgh at the end of a 10 day trip in the UK. You need a car to stay here as you must drive to the nearby park and ride to take the tram to Edinburgh. Very convenient to the airport, only about a mile and a half away. Enjoyed the heated pool, sauna and hot tub. Would have liked another day here to just chill at the property as there are walking paths we did not have time to use.

Every part of the stay felt worth the time & money. The spa was an excellent experience, with easy access from the hotel. Additionally the room was very nice and bright, with an extremely nice & warm feel to both the room & bathroom. The bathroom and room felt very luxurious & I would definitely come here to stay again with my partner. The dinner in the Brasserie was some of the nicest food I've had in a restaurant in this country in a long time. I've been to Japan and had duck there, the duck I had on Saturday night honestly was comparable. All credit to the fresh ingredients and skills of the chefs to put together some delightful plates. I finished my meal with a lovely Old Fashioned, which I order in most places I go, and was extremely smooth and well made. The evening meal and drinks were a real highlight to our stay at the hotel. I would come back just for the restaurant food alone.

Lovely setting. Staff very friendly and helpful, and Porter actually refused a tip! One of our party had a sudden family bereavement the day we arrived and staff were patient, understanding and helpful in cancelling one of the 3 rooms we had booked and one of the treatments at no cost.

My room was great and I always love having a robe. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the young man who took us to our rooms, carrying a whole lot of our baggage. I loved the swing under the big tree on the grounds. The grounds were lovely and it felt like we were staying in a park.

Property was lovely and spa facilities were excellent. All staff we met were very friendly but professional and nothing seemed too much for them to do. Breakfasts each day were really good with a very wide choice of continental, cooked from the hot buffet or from the a la carte breakfast menu. Dinners were also very good, and the steak was perfectly cooked when asked for 'rare' which is a rare situation! Also, one of us was vegan and the hotel were very accommodating, be it in the room with non-dairy milk substitute and even a whole pack of vegan-friendly biscuits, or having a good vegan choice on the breakfast and dinner menus and researching whether wines were vegan, too.
