Swinton Park

Both myself and my wife booked an overnight stay, evening meal and spa package. Driving through the hotel gates the view of the hotel and grounds was amazing, and the hotel certainly didn’t disappoint. The hotel was magnificent and was full of character and history. It was extremely well kept and clean. What was nice is that you’re welcome to explore the hotel grounds and nowhere seemed out of bounds. Lovely walks round parkland, lakes, and kitchen gardens with Birds of Prey to look at. We had the option of eating in the terrace or Samuel’s, we chose Samuel’s. The food was delicious, we both chose the Sirloin steak and this was cooked to perfection. We stayed in the Bedale room, for one of their cheaper rooms we were really pleased with how spacious it was. Overnight there had been a bad storm that knocked the hotels power out and caused damage to trees in the park grounds. Unfortunately this caused us to miss a cooked breakfast (although we did get a delicious cold breakfast) and we also had to miss our prearranged spa day. The staff dealt with this fantastically, and with a few emails had our spa day rearranged for another day. We returned a few weeks later for the spa day and thoroughly enjoyed it. The spa was one of the best we’ve been to for a while. What made our time at Swinton so special was how friendly and helpful the staff were. The hotel didn’t have a pretentious feel to it like some luxury hotels do, it had a more warm and friendly feel. We will definitely return.

The best hotel I've ever stayed in. Swinton Park Hotel, on the expansive, lush, Swinton Estate, is the epitome of English elegance. The facility is family-owned, with eccentric artwork and history in every room. The grounds, populated by deer, sheep, horses and an extensive aviary are right outside your window, a part of every day. The spa, again, the very best I've ever experienced. Great indoor pool, lots of soaking tubs, whirlpools, the works. The food, either in the historical dining room, or more casual outbuildings, is excellent. Our particular room had a wonderful bed, linens, pillows, towels. The staff are quietly efficient.

This is our second week long stay at the Swinton (after a fantastic time last year) with our grumpy Pug. Staff always lovely and helpful, facilities brilliant and this year we have especially enjoyed two falconry experiences with wonderful Mandy including a Hawk Walk and Owl experience which have been the highlight of our trip! The option of brunch in terrace as part of meal package is very welcome as sometimes after a big dinner we are not hungry by breakfast the next morning and it’s nice to go to the spa and swim so that has been a great change from last years stay. We shall be back next year :)

Another repeated visit to Swinton Park Hotel for its 2 day New Years Eve package. Truly great quality event and run in a very professional manner. Staff all onboard wanting to make the event special

We had an excellent stay at Swinton Park Hotel. Our second stay here. The room was luxurious and the grounds are exceptional. We paid for the falconry experience which was a great treat and can highly recommend and also tried complimentary the laser clay shooting which was a lot of fun. The Spa is also luxurious and is exceptionally clean. All staff in the hotel and grounds were friendly and helpful. We ate in the Terrace restaurant both nights and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to another stay at this hotel as there are still a few activities and walks we would like to do.

Overall great service from staff members, lovely food, walks, spa, and games room in a very relaxing environment in this grand old hotel on a fantastic estate location.
