Overall Ratings & Reviews Swinton Park Hotel

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.

Lovely area of countryside

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.

Fantastic

Fantastic place, staff friendly and welcoming. Excellent food. Had a great stay.

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!

It was beautiful- we’d love to go back soon

Excellent stay

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.

Perfect in every way. We will be returning, for sure.

We could have had a much better deal had we booked direct with Swinton .......... We will not use you again !!!!

need a good clean terrible value for money we got a suite and it was like a throwback from the 1950s.

1. Excellent service 2. excellent spa 3. Delicious and varied breakfast. 4. Very beautiful and atmospheric hotel 5. Well-groomed territory around. 6. Quiet place for a relaxing weekend. 7. Very clean rooms

Beautiful surroundings and lovely comfortable accommodation. Service could have been more attentive in the main house; table not cleared until I helped and then not cleared again after I’d used it. A wait for help at reception. Just didn’t seem many staff about! But, the accommodation itself is beautiful.

Very nice grounds. Mostly friendly attentive staff. We stayed in the coach house. Corners of the windows were covered/smeared with bird droppings. In the bathroom our toilet had a faecal stain on the toilet bowl.

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was a fabulous place to stay, just like being a guest in a stately home. All the staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful and are a credit to the hotel. Room was lovely with gorgeous views of the deer in the grounds. Beautiful drawing room and sitting room downstairs where guests could relax by the open fire and have a drink or afternoon tea. We ate at the Terrace Restaurant and Samuels and the food in both was superb. Breakfast was lovely too with cereals, pastries, yogurts, hams, cheeses, fruit on a buffet table and the cooked breakfasts were waiter service with a lot of choice. My only gripe is that a couple of days before our stay we had a phone call to say that guests have to now pay to use the spa and it was £25 each for 4 hours. With this calibre of hotel I do think the pool, sauna, Jacuzzi should be free to paying guests and it did put a damper on our trip before we had arrived but having not used the spa it didn't spoil our trip. Would definitely recommend the hotel.

Friendly and welcoming. Sensible, unobtrusive COVID precautions which did not detract from our stay. The full “Downton Abbey” experience In a beautiful part of the country.

The hotel is a grand old country house restored and maintained to a high standard. The spa is extensive, varied and at the top end. Food was up to the same standard as were the hotel staff. Only negative you have to go outside to get to the spa and terrace restaurant and it was raining
