There is a real sense of serenity and peace at the Norton House Hotel, and this is as much outdoors as it is inside. The sunken walled garden is home to the ultimate space for peace and relaxation – the Spa. Consisting of eight treatment rooms, a mud chamber, a manicure and pedicure zone, a relaxation room and an Amber Lounge it is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Treatments involve the Elemis range as well as organic skin care products made from Hebridean seaweed, a flavor of ancient local therapies.
Within the Spa area is the Atrium at Norton House. This is a relaxing space in which to dine where the theme of locally sourced ingredients continues with healthy snacks, light meals, afternoon tea and even a glass of champagne available.
There is a Health Club to help recharge your batteries with all of the latest fitness and gym equipment available. Exercise classes from Pilates to body pump, a swimming pool, hydro pool, sauna, and a steam room are all on offer.
