For a family getaway this summer, why not head to Norton Park in Sutton Scotney – the perfect base for exploring Hampshire and the New Forest? Just 90 minutes from London, it is within striking distance of Winchester and its magnificent cathedral, while the coastal cities of Southhampton and Portsmouth as well as the iconic site of Stonehenge are also nearby.

If you’re looking to entertain little ones, you’ll be pleased to know that Poultons Park – the home of Peppa Pig – and Marwell Zoo are also a stone’s throw from the hotel.

With 15 stylish event rooms, a barn and a 16th century manor house, Norton Park, set within 54 acres of beautiful grounds, is also ideal for celebrations and family get togethers, not to mention weddings – now they are finally back.

The historic manor house has 13 bedrooms, while the modern wing is home to152 contemporary rooms and suites.

The hotel has recently partnered with luxury skin and body care brand Elemis and offers a range of spa days, breaks and treatments. The spa features eight treatment rooms, a dedicated spa lounge, swimming pool, sauna and steam room (check Covid rules), an experience shower and heated loungers, so there’s plenty to help you rejuvenate or if you simply want to treat yourself (or someone else) to a day of pampering. For the more active, there’s a gym, complete with on-site personal training on offer.

Food wise, expect classic British favourites in the main restaurant or enjoy light bites in the comfortable bar and lounge. There’s also a terrace overlooking the pretty gardens.
