THE HOTEL

Norton House is positioned in a residential area in The Mumbles, 100 metres from the Swansea Bay seafront. The Georgian mansion was built in 1790 as a private residence, and benefits from many of its original features, including high ceilings, large sash windows, statement staircase and portico entrance.


Surrounding the hotel are private gardens which are accessed from the elegant function room and restaurant.


Our client acquired the hotel in 2016 and has significantly invested in the property, completely refurbishing it.

Norton House benefits form a central location in Mumbles, the gateway to the Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first National Landscape. The peninsula is a rich and varied environment, with wild open moors, dramatic limestone cliffs, and golden sandy beaches, making the area a favourite among surfers and walkers. The area is rich in history with medieval castles, iron age forts, 19th Century parks and over 1,200 archaeological sites.


The university city of Swansea is four miles northeast, and with a population of over 241,000, is the second largest city in Wales. The university has over twenty thousand students, of which a quarter are international. Major employers in the area include Admiral Group and Ford Motor Company. In 2023, 4.7 million people visited the Swansea, The Mumbles and Gower area, generating £609 million to the economy (Swansea Council 2023).


Gower is also well positioned for the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire Coast.
