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 was our best location to meet yet! The staff, the rooms, the meeting room, the catering, the location, the spa - everything was fantastic. The international contingent of our company were very impressed in particular, we would definitely consider returning for a future team meeting.

Excellent spa facilities with massage treatments, a lovely indoor pool which we used, we did not use the outdoor pool as we visited in March and weather was too cold. Radiator in our room was not working but we were quickly provided with an oil filled portable radiator. Would recommend reserving table in restaurant for all nights of stay. We were allotted a 7.30pm table in Terrace Restaurant but ended up eating in the bar due to a long wait for a table. Reception staff were very helpful at all times.

Gorgeous building. Tastefully maintained and managing to combine the historic and the modern. Excellent staff and the food we had at Samuel’s and the terrace was outstanding. We are both vegetarians and we were very well catered for.

We would not normally spend this much on a nights stay but thought we would spoil ourselves for our anniversary. It did not disappoint and was worth every penny. The room was beautiful and the service exceptional. The bedding was exquisite and the grounds were lovely. We did not bring our dogs with us this time as wanted to enjoy the spa facilities but it was lovely to see so many dogs in the hotel. We will definitely be back
