Room was in good condition however it was a disabled room that was not advised on booking. There was an intermittent unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom. Seeing the disabled room I immediately requested a room change but here was not much enthusiasm as we had a 2 night stay and was told the hotel was full the following night so not much they could do and on the first night there were currently no other made up rooms.
Overall the staff at the bar and in the restaurant and around the hotel were very good however breakfast on Sunday morning left a lot to be desired in terms of service as anything cooked took an age to arrive and my wife after at least half an hour gave up on hers but it did arrive as we were leaving!
The grounds and facilities are excellent.
On departure I was clear to my complaint on the room, I was offered a token without any any investigation and offered access to speak with the deputy manager. I declined both and hoped it would have been dealt with differently as my point was not financial and being fobbed off with £50 and having to request the manager did not feel right.
My intention was to convey disappointment with the room in the hope of investigation and recognition to a problem with some assurance it would not remain an issue for others. I left feeling no one really cared!

It has a number of facilities and I used a couple; good spa and treatments in a recently built large spa and a cookery course which was well hosted and lead by Ian. The Castle Bar's mixologist is a star. I heard dissent about the lack of dining options on Monday and Tuesday nights but the food was good and breakfast excellent. Room was great with magnificent views. Great parkland and range of facilities

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.

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.

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.

The property and grounds were like from a fairy tale! The entire stay was magical. I felt like I was transported into a different era. Afternoon Tea in the Drawing Room was an experience in luxury. The gardens were stunning and they even have a large herd of Fallow Deer! The attention the staff paid to every detail made you feel like royalty. They grow their own vegetables on the grounds and the chefs pick them and base the day's menu on what they've picked - I had the most delicious salads I've ever eaten there. Can't recommend this enough - everybody deserves to be treated to extravagance like this.

Lovely break in Yorkshire

A beautiful country house style hotel set in a lovely location. We ate in the contemporary Terrace Restaurant and it was very good food with a nice outlook on to the garden. Great for visiting local villages and gardens. Lovely to watch the deer , visit the birds in the aviary and the extra bonus of seeing a cricket match on the front lawn.

Incredibly well maintained grounds with lovely walks signposted and boots to borrow. Really helpful staff and comfy beds. Delicious food! Spa is wonderfully appointed - outdoor sauna and fire seating section a particular highlight.

Classic English country house hotel

We stayed 2 nights in June - the third time we have stayed at this hotel. The facilities are wonderful with extensive grounds and one of the best spas we have used. Our room was spacious with a wonderful view of the countryside. Breakfast is excellent and the food in the Terrace restaurant features fresh produce from the Swinton estate.Service can be a bit slow and wifi needs improving but we still look forward to coming back! The location is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire dales nearby and the North York moors are also within reach.

We loved everything! Beautiful property and the most pleasant and polite staff. The history behind the castle is extraordinary and so many things to see, like the towpaths on the property, handling hawks and owls or fly fishing. Our toliet in the room didn't work very well but the room was huge and clean. The breakfast was delicious and there are a few options for dinner which was also delicious. The workout facilities was accessible and had a spa onsite. We will definitely go again.

Living the dream!

A beautiful, romantic place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our suite and the Castle were of fairytale proportions. The historic surroundings were complimented by the modern facilities of the spa which added to the overall feel of relaxation and wellness. The grounds were superb with lots of walking tracks, animals and birds to spot and explore. Would love to have stayed longer!

Exceptional welcome and facilities

We stayed 2 nights in August. The staff were very friendly and the hotel and facilities were as good as we've ever experienced in the UK. The newly opened spa and terrace restaurant are delightful and the hotel grounds and huge Swinton Estate wonderful to explore. Rooms are quite expensive but when you take account of the breakfast, use of the spa, access to the estate as well the quality of the rooms (including the public rooms) we felt it was good value. A few minor service glitches - possibly because some facilities are so new - did not detract from our overall enjoyment and we plan to return.

Lovely hotel and grounds

Beautiful old house in the heart of Yorkshire. Stunning countryside. Friendly staff.

Wonderful walks but map provided not easy to follow and few sign posts on trails. Easy to go wrong (we did!). We enjoyed our time, but I wouldn't go again, mainly because we spent £1,300 for three nights and in my mind that was not good value. Could have gone to a Greek island for a week for less. Everything was expensive, especially dinner at Samuel's (the restaurant at Swinton Park). Two people three courses came to £123, and we left the table hungry. That should never happen. I ordered the lamb and got three 50p size pieces. I felt cheated. My partner's fish was under cooked. The starters were tiny. We got bigger portions the following day by ordering two children's dishes in our room! Now that was reasonable/good value for money.
Also, it would be useful to be able to get a list of things to see and do in the area. The hot tub was lovely and perfect after a long tiring walk, but you need to book it. However, when we tried, most of the slots were taken, which irritated me. You pay all this money and get to use it once. It would have been nice to have a hot tub everyday after walk.
Nice stay enjoyable time, but there are better deals out there!

Wow

It was to celebrate my sisters birthday. So we had Sunday lunch which was a big wow the service and attention to detail by the staff and their knowledge of all that they served was so good.
Myself and my brother stayed in the Scarborough suite and the Headingly, and my sister and her husband had an apartment all the rooms were amazing very clean and the staff were so friendly helpful and very professional.
Thankyou to all the staff you made our stay memoirable.

Disappointing

The staff on reception is not very helpfypul, they just don't care... Also you get the feeling that they are almost doing you a favour by letting you stay there... Outside is very beautiful but inside is so dated... Feels like I went back to 1990s. The floors make such a horrible sound that you can hear everybody walking upstairs AND downstairs... Beds are uncomfortable. Difficult to open and close windows. The colour of the walls in our room was green!... The food at the restaurant is ok.. I would expect something a bit more sophisticated for this place...

Like something from Downton Abbey

Celebrated our anniversary with a couple of nights in the Richmond suite, a big and spacious room which has great views of the gatehouse and gardens. The food is fantastic and service first class. Plenty to do if you like walking the grounds followed by a 25min walk to Masham for a few pints in the local. Overall the hotel is special and our experience was like something from Downton Abbey, my only one niggle are the prices, £29 for 2 gin & tonics is a bit excessive even by London standards. Would we go again? Probably, as my wife loved it but may need to start saving now!

Missing that caring feeling

Not as good as it should be.
There are large differences between rooms and interior feel.
This is a nice place but they are making lots of small mistakes and the place lacks consistency.
Lacks warmth.
