17th Century Castle Hotel Swinton Park is a privately-owned, luxurious castle hotel, set within 200 acres of parkland, lakes and gardens. Dating from the 17th century, the castle today is an award-winning four-star hotel with 30 beautifully decorated bedrooms and suites situated on the first or second floor with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. Each individually-designed bedroom is themed around a Yorkshire town, dale, garden, castle or abbey and is fully equipped with modem points, WiFi access, CD player, satellite TV, trouser press, drinks tray and coffee/tea facilities. Gracious public rooms include the drawing room, sitting room and morning room, furnished with antiques, family portraits, fresh flowers and cosy fires in winter, creating a comfortable setting where guests can relax. The sumptuous dining room, with its unusual gold-leaf ceiling, offers the finest modern British cuisine, with an emphasis on game, fish, vegetables, fruit and herbs sourced from the family estate and hotel's walled garden. The hotel's courtyard conservatory is a light and comfortable spa, with jacuzzi, showers and exercise and seating area. Guests have exclusive use of the spa for up to an hour at a time without charge, subject to guest demand. A range of health and beauty treatments are also offered in luxurious new treatment rooms. The Castle is set within 200 acres of parkland, lakes and gardens, surrounded by the 20,000 acre family estate. Paths meander through the gardens, woods and parkland past the five lakes, grottos, streams and waterfalls, whilst the dales and surrounding countryside also offers wonderful walks. Other attractions under an hour's drive include abbeys, castles, historic houses, gardens, racecourses and scenic beauty spots. Activities available at the hotel include bowls, boules, croquet, falconry, fishing, golf, mountain biking, model boat racing, kiteflying, claypigeon shooting and horseriding. Special offers and themed breaks are available throughout the year including Racing Breaks and Tours of Castles, Abbeys and Gardens (see below). Swinton Park Cookery School is housed in the ground floor of the converted Georgian stables, where Rosemary Shrager, the celebrated TV chef, runs her programme of day and residential courses throughout the year (see below). Children are extremely welcome at Swinton Park, with a playroom which converts into a private cinema and a boot room full of kites, bikes and other outdoor games. There is also an outdoor play area and hours of walking in the parkland. Cots, highchairs, bottle warmers and baby listening/baby sitting and a goody bag including Molton Brown baby products, teddy bear, bibs, spoons and wipes are available for babies. They also offer a Mother and Baby massage, where the mother is given instruction on how to massage baby, leaving enough time for her to enjoy her own massage too. We have sofa beds and z-beds for the older ones who also get their own (more grown up!) goody bags. Children aged 8 and over are welcome to eat from the restaurant menu in Samuel’s. There is also a children’s menu, which can be served as room service or in one of the ground floor public rooms.
