Our Inspector's view
Norton House is an extended Victorian mansion, set in 55 acres of parkland, peacefully situated just outside the city and convenient for the airport. The original building dates from 1840, and was bought nearly 40 years later by John Usher of the Scottish brewing family. Today, both the contemporary bedrooms and the very spacious, traditional ones have an impressive range of accessories including large satellite TVs, and free high-speed internet access. Executive rooms have more facilities, of course, including 'tilevision' TVs at the end of the baths. Public areas take in a choice of lounges as well as dining in the popular brasserie. There is a health club, and a spa which offers a long list of treatments.

About the area
Discover Edinburgh
Edinburgh is one of Britain’s most spectacular cities and both Old and New Towns have UNESCO World Heritage status. At its heart, the Old Town is a treasury of architecture stretching back to medieval times with its labyrinth of narrow lanes (‘wynds’ or ‘closes’). While the New Town's splendid district of squares, crescents and gardens are surrounded by impressive Georgian town houses.
It isn’t just a magnificent, bustling city, it’s surrounded by countryside – offering visitors the best of both worlds. Dominated by hills and the sea, with the rolling Pentland Hills to the south and the broad expanse of the Firth of Forth estuary to the north, it benefits from a rugged and varied landscape. So much so, the city has its own miniature mountain, Arthur’s Seat, which looms over the Old Town and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, dwarfing even Castle Rock and its crowning fortress, Edinburgh Castle.
A couple of miles east, Portobello is Edinburgh’s seaside area, with a long stretch of golden sand that attracts droves of city dwellers on sunny summer days.
