Venue description:

Norton House provides the perfect environment for business meetings. Not simply because it.s tucked away in the Scottish countryside far from the day-to-day pressures of the office.

The variety and versatility of the rooms available makes planning your event simple. And its proximity to the city of Edinburgh, the airport and major road and rail links makes it easily accessible from anywhere in the country.

Presentations, conferences, team-building exercises, and new product launches are all easily catered for. There is a wide choice of rooms in the main house and the Victorian stables have been converted into a self-contained conference and business centre, with a further four meeting rooms, a syndicate room and a breakout area.

If you wished, you could even take over the entire hotel, close the doors and make the house your own for a completely private conference.

The Ballroom

The spacious Ballroom can accommodate up to 300 delegates for a conference, from which the adjacent Oak Room with it's long bar makes an ideal breakout area, and can easily seat 180 at a banquet. In fact, on a number of occasions its size has proved to be ample enough even for a car launch.

Venue location:

As you turn off the main road past the stone gatehouse and follow the long, tree-lined drive to the house, pea hens skittering in front of the car will leave you in no doubt you have found a traditional country house retreat.

But 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.

It.s a feeling that is fuelled by fine wines and award-winning cuisine, as well as the comforts provided by the luxurious rooms.
