Former Castle Hotel
The first house to be built on the Swinton Park estate was commissioned in 1695 by the English wool merchant and country gentleman Sir Abstrupus Danby. His successors built a stable block and gatehouse, and in the 1760s planted parks and created a chain of five lakes. In 1882, Samuel Cunliffe-Lister bought the castle at the age of 68. He embarked on an extensive building program, adding a third floor and expanding the dining room. From 1976 to 1998, the castle was occupied by the Lindley Education Foundation, which operated it as a management training center. Mark Cunliffe-Lister, Molly's great-grandson, bought the castle with his mother, brother and sister in May 2000. On June 17, 2000, Mark and Felicity (the current Baron and Baroness Masham) were married and, upon returning from their honeymoon, moved to Swinton to start the family business. The luxurious 32-bedroom castle hotel was opened in 2001 after a major renovation.

Location
Swinton Park is a picturesque travel destination that features a stunning location, nestled in the beauty of nature. Guests have raved about the beautiful setting and grounds, describing them as jaw-dropping and breathtaking. They've even compared the setting to the hit TV series Downton Abbey. The iconic chateau sits on spacious grounds, providing ample spaces for wandering, exploring and taking in the natural beauty. The gardens have been particularly noteworthy and guests have loved taking leisurely strolls through the walled garden and deer park. Accommodation is just as impressive with guests mentioning their beautiful room and overall accommodation. Those looking to relax can indulge in spa breaks that the hotel provides. With great walks and incredible surroundings, Swinton Park is an ideal location for a rejuvenating escape into nature.

Breakfast
Swinton Park offers an exceptional breakfast experience that will satisfy everyone's appetite. Guests have been raving about the great selection and quality of food served at the breakfast buffet. From traditional English breakfast items to healthier options, there's something for everyone. The Terra e restaurant at the hotel serves excellent breakfast that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized for the day ahead. The food is of high-quality and guests have described it as fine and excellent. However, it is worth noting that breakfast is not included in the room rate, so be sure to check before booking if it is within your budget. Despite that, some guests have left unfavorable reviews about the breakfast selection, one even describing it as "naff" and the buffet area being understocked. Nonetheless, for those who have enjoyed the breakfast experience, it has been a highlight of their stay at Swinton Park.

Dinner
Swinton Park is renowned for its dining options, featuring two restaurants with contrasting styles of decor, menu and atmosphere. Guests have praised the choice of dining options with one reviewer terming it as a great feature. However, dining experience has been somewhat inconsistent with some guests bemoaning the slow service and limited menu in the main restaurant. A few guests have also noticed a lack of food knowledge among some of the staff. The menu description was complicated, leaving some guests struggling to choose. Despite mixed reviews, dinner at the Terrace was a standout with guests describing the meal as excellent. It's worth noting that food at the Brasserie was stunning with guests praising the quality of the cuisine. Guests who chose a more relaxed dining option at the pub-style restaurant were pleased. However, some reviewers have mentioned that the food was underwhelming and the main restaurant served the same menu each night. Finally, food was deemed excellent but somewhat expensive, including wine. Overall, Swinton Park's dining options offer something for everyone with highlights worth trying out.

Rooms
If you're looking for a luxurious and welcoming hotel in the heart of the countryside, you can't go wrong with Swinton Park. The lovely rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable - some of the best we've ever stayed in. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing a warm welcome and great customer service. We particularly appreciated the extra touches, such as the complimentary warm jackets and the thoughtful accessories dotted throughout the cottage.

While some of the room decor was looking a little tired and in need of a refresh, this was a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things. We did notice some small issues, such as the plastic cups in the bathroom and the occasional missing biscuit, but these were easily overlooked in the face of the overall high standard of the hotel. All in all, we can highly recommend Swinton Park for a cosy and comfortable stay in the countryside.

Staff
Swinton Park is a luxurious hotel with incredible staff that make guests feel welcome and appreciated. From the helpful and informative staff at check-in to the accommodating and friendly team throughout the hotel, the service is excellent. While some guests reported poor experiences with overworked bar service and reception staff, others rave about the excellent service they received from Rachael and the spa team. The food is fantastic and the Samuels' Manager earns high praise for their help with a late-night emergency. Overall, Swinton Park is a top destination with a team of truly outstanding staff.

Spa
If you're searching for a hotel with exceptional spa facilities, you'll find just that at Swinton Park. The spa is excellent and praised repeatedly by guests for its great facilities, wonderful atmosphere and lovely location. However, some reviewers did mention that the locker keys in the Spa didn't work for them and that some staff in the spa provided poor service.

Although the Spa is fantastic, it's important to note that full-time access is advertised, but most guests are restricted to only one hour per day. Additionally, children swimming times are limited with none during the day or mid-morning. Some guests also mentioned that they felt put off by additional charging for hotel guests and cottage users.

On a positive note, guests loved the Spa food, the lovely walks you can take around the area and the stunning setting. Reviewers also praised the Spa Staff, describing them as excellent. The Spa itself is wonderful and very relaxing with very nice massages on offer. If outdoor swimming is your thing, you can enjoy a super cold dip in the natural pool.

Overall, Swinton Park's Spa is lovely and guests feel safe due to limited numbers. Despite some restrictions, the spa is great and definitely worth visiting.

The stunning hotel offers affordable luxury with impeccable service that exceeds expectations. For some, the stay at Swinton Park may even be considered an unusual luxury.
