Not what we imagined …

Booked a 5* trip with my husband. Arrived to a beautiful castle and greeted with a complimentary drink which was lovely. We were shown to our room and unfortunately it was dated. I appreciate that the property is in keeping with tradition but plastic door handles and low level brand of toiletries didn’t scream luxury I’m afraid. The hairdryer sounded like it was about to blow up and the tap came off in my hand. The drawing rooms and estate along with the spa are beautiful. The meal at night - no cocktail menu. At dinner ordered belly pork which was the size of a Lego brick. Very disappointing. The Terrace bar wasn’t open either so no other choice. No at all impressed.

Relaxing time off at Swinton Park

Beautiful Hotel in an amazing estate and deer park. Stunning views, beautiful comfortable rooms with wonderful public rooms and reception rooms in the ground floor. The staff is very helpful and friendly, in particular David made our stay uniquely personal and memorable. The food in all restaurants is excellent. The Spa is modern, comfortable and nicely decorated. We will definitely return, when in North Yorkshire again.

A quiet but lovely two nights

We stayed for two nights. The location is wonderful. It’s remote and peaceful. The restaurants were both excellent as was the breakfast. We went out to the Bivaouc cafe and that was lovely as well. We used the spa which was quite busy but otherwise really nice.

Having previously stayed at Swinton, I have never been asked to pay for the room upon arrival, usually it's payment on departure. Totally embarrassing to be asked to pay on arrival, in front of my husband (who I had treated to a stay for his 50th birthday) and a group of other guests. How to humiliate your guests and make them feel like paupers in front of everybody in one easy step. Thanks very much!

Spa is fabulous

This was pur first time at Swinton Park and we'll definitely be back. Our room was beautiful, the grounds are great with plenty of things to do and enjoy and the food was amazing. The best part of our stay had to be the spa though, really well-appointed with lots of attention to detail. We were both super relaxed and sleepy after just a couple of hours.

Impressive grounds and estate. Rooms are large, but amenities provided are basic. No dental kits. Staff could do with more training about the estate, its offerings and also welcome. Service with a smile would be appreciated. The international tourist feels rather unwelcomed.
