Company info

I grew up at Gorton House where my Mum and Dad started the business which has evolved into the holiday rentals you see today. I live in nearby East Lothian with my husband and 3 young kids. Up until summer 2020 I have been working as a nurse (still doing the occasional shift) and have only recently taken over the running of the business. It is great to be spending more time at Gorton and only now appreciate the amount of work that Mum and Dad put into it. As I'm fairly new to the job I appreciate any feedback as I want guests to enjoy their stay and make sure that people have everything they need.
