Swinton Park, North Yorkshire

Description: Swinton Park

Surrounded by magnificent gardens in the heart of the Yorkshire dales, Swinton Park is a luxury boutique hotel, situated in a spectacular country house, originally built in 1695, with a number of alterations made over the following centuries. Owned by the same family since the 1880s, this spectacular property was extensively renovated in 2001, and now offers luxury accommodation, fine cuisine and bespoke service in an authentic stately home atmosphere.

The proud holder of three AA Rosettes, and many other awards, Swinton Park's gourmet restaurant, Samuel's, enjoys an enviable reputation for fine food, with the accent firmly placed on local, seasonal produce grown in the hotel's kitchen garden, and fish and game from the 20,000 acre castle estate. Continuing along this culinary theme, Swinton Park also runs a cookery school, and other dining options include Chef's Table Dinners, Demonstration Dining Experiences, and alfresco Deerhouse lunches and dinners in the parkland.

On site activities at Swinton Park include falconry, riding and treking, fishing, golf, and cycling, along with an extensive range of family-based activities. Guests can also take advantage of the Swinton Park spa, with an exclusive-use relaxation lounge, sauna and hot tub, along with an extensive range of massages and treatments.
