Norton Park

rating: ****

The secluded feel to Norton Park hits you as you meander down its drive and gaze over the 54 acres of grounds it rests in. The Manor House at Norton Park breathes tranquillity and maybe that's because it knows it's created the ultimate blend of stunning 16th century architecture with the luxury of contemporary furnishings. The peaceful commune with nature continues with the 13 rooms that remain in the old Manor house, each triumphantly unique and named after a different flower. If there's one thing you'll take away from Norton Park it's a relaxed feeling, you will be inspired by the tranquil surroundings and massaged until not one scrap of tension remains in the palatial spa.
