Lovely characteristic hotel with very professional staff. A quiet get away for those needing it to relax and recoup. A bit expensive considering there was no pool, hot tub or sauna & steam facilities but the hotel it's self is absolutely beautiful.

We stayed in room 228. Room itself was great but the hot water in bathroom was so hot it scalded my partners hands. A warning sticker may be a good idea to warn guests of this. We also bought two single spirits with mixer and bill came to £19.70 which is very expensive even by hotel prices.

Having stayed here before, and had a good experience, sadly this was the exact opposite! The corridor had a ruffled carpet which was clearly a trip hazard. The passageway smelled of dampness, and the room hadn’t been updated since the 1980’s. Room was dark, and also needs updating. Staff were friendly, but the service was slow. Food was good, but expensive!

We recently stayed at the McDonald Norwood Hotel and had a truly pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived, the lady at the front desk stood out with her warm and friendly manner. She made the check-in process smooth and welcoming, instantly making us feel comfortable after a long journey. Throughout our stay, she was more than happy to assist with anything we needed — a true asset to the hotel team. Our room was lovely, spacious, and clean, with a beautiful view of the surrounding woods. It added a peaceful touch to our stay, making it even more relaxing. Overall, the service and setting made for a wonderful visit. I would gladly return and recommend it to others looking for a quiet and friendly place to stay.

What a beautiful property! It is easy to see why it is a coveted wedding venue! We spent a single evening here and absolutely loved it. The building echoes with good time vibes of years past, with character carved into every facade, and the staff were amazing. Just the right amount of poise to make it opulent, but not offensive. The entire grounds are meticulously kept, with massive mature trees, stunning flowers and local wildlife abounding. Despite being built in the late 1880’s, the rooms are very modern and clean, and with all of today’s luxuries. (Except ice- if you are a Canadian traveller, used to North America hotels that have an ice machine on every floor- you will be disappointed in the U.K. as we did not encounter a single hotel in England, Wales or Scotland that had ice readily available- however, at Norwood Hall it was available by asking at the bar or calling room service.) We loved the quiet setting away from the city, the food was amazing, the staff were professional and the hotel itself was stunning. Would definitely stay here again, or recommend it to friends!
