Swinton Park

From start to finish everything was perfect. Everyone made us feel so welcome, from the staff to our fellow guests. We had so many great conversations with such a diverse group of wonderful people. We had a complimentary room upgrade which was wonderful, we stayed for 2 nights in the Thirsk room; which was lovely, warm and comfortable. I would recommend the Champagne welcome package and late checkout, it was great to enjoy a chilled glass of champagne in our room as we got ready for dinner. We ate both nights at Samuel’s, which is in a stunningly decorated dining hall, the service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Breakfast both days was also at Samuel’s and it was really nice; great value. They have cooked and continental available and it was all good quality. I would have liked more sweet options on the menu, perhaps French toast or waffles. But that’s just nitpicking. There’s loads of activities you can join in to, we really enjoyed the cocktail tasting at the Terrace bar, where we acted as guinea pigs for new cocktail creations, it was a fun experience. The cocktails which we actually paid for were also very good. Likewise the cocktails at Samuel’s bar were also well made. The spa was amazing, I especially liked the Finnish sauna and outdoor hydrotherapy pool and hot tub. The outdoor pool is cold but just take the plunge! You will not regret it. The spa also has lovely outdoor beds, with warm blankets and a hot water bottle. Perfect to relax with a few drinks. There’s honesty just too much to say, the house itself is stunning, the grounds are gorgeous and I cannot wait to return again.

Brilliant from start to finish! Little touches such as arrival drink, welcome card and chocolates in the room. Amazing rooms, beautiful setting, fantastic staff! Couldn’t be better! No wonder Swinton was on Amazing Hotels of the World on TV, it totally deserves to be on there!

Fantastic accommodation and wonderful food and service in the restaurants. Will be back for another visit.

Fabulous stay, lovely spa, helpful happy staff. Dinner in the terrace was excellent. The room was big and beautiful. And there is loads to do. We didn’t this time at it was only a 1night stay. We are returning soon.

Stayed before heading to Grantly Hall for sons wedding daughters room lovely, ours was lovely but cold, they did bring heaters

We have visited swinton estate on many occasions we always have a great time with so much to see & do ...fabulous Spa to chill your cares away with a nice chilled glass of fizz or 2, This last visit was just extra special we decided to give the new concept of The Chefs table by Josh Barnes WoW 👌 what can we say about it well Outstanding for one a true gastronomic treat with such knowledge about every aspect of the product placed so beautifully in front of you with excellent wine to accompany each dish (thank you Matt) it really is such a treat to see the food your about to consume being cooked and prepared right in front of you , to be able to ask Josh about each dish is just fantastic I can't say my favourite dish as we enjoy every morsel including the fabulous wines if your looking for something different and love fine food this is definitely for you .... Once again thanyou to Josh Matt & kieran & all the wonderful staff at Swinton park see you soon Julie & Paul

The most wonderful one night stay in Ripon Suite, thank you Andrew for organising this, much appreciated. Staff so courteous, food wonderful, cleanliness outstanding and so many county pursuits from fly fishing, falconry, golf, clay pigeon shooting etc. hard to choose one. Then the spa and pool facilities looked perfect.

Very relaxing weekend stay on the Swinton Estate with family for daughter's 21st. The hotel has good restaurants and spa as well as a bird of prey centre, though falconry needs to be booked well in advance of arrival. Also within the estate is Swinton Bivouac around 15 minutes away by car. Excellent grounds for walking / biking, helpful staff, good food and, when it is fully working, one of the best spas I've seen in a UK hotel. As far as I can tell, the hotel, bivouac, restaurants and spa appear to operate as separate organisations so billing can sometimes be a bit disjointed, but they get there eventually and are cheerful with it. Highly recommended, whether staying in a yurt, tree house, cottage or hotel.

We had a lovely stay at Swinton. Upon arrival we were served with a complementary drink which you could take to your room, save for one of the restaurants or take into the room just off reception to enjoy! Once we had our drink we decided to have a walk of the grounds as our room wasn’t quite ready yet, after our walk we returned to reception to see how are room was getting on. It still wasn’t ready so we opted to have another drink where we did before. The receptionist at the time said she would send a staff member through to take our drinks order, we waited 20 minutes for anyone to even come in the room and even when they did they hadn’t been instructed of taking our drink order! We finally went up to the room which was beautiful! Decided to head down to the spa, again absolutely beautiful too we got comfortable on the loungers and then had a good walk around to see what there was to use in the spa! We both decided that we wanted to use the foot spa machines but unfortunately 2 out of the 4 were broken meaning we would have to sit apart and use them. Heading back to the loungers we decided to get a drink, again we waited over 30 minutes pressing the button they give you on the tables and no one came to us. We did see the girl who was working and caught her attention when she was passing by from serving another customer. We ate at the terrace and couldn’t recommend the restaurant enough! The food and the service were excellent and we would definitely return! Breakfast was lovely with a great variety of choices. We enjoyed our stay we just wished the service had been slightly better!
