ShareTreat yourself to an indulgent stay at Swinton Park, a luxury castle hotel with a stylish onsite cookery school in the Yorkshire Dales.
The ancestral seat of the Earl of Swinton and owned by the Cunliffe-Lister family since the 1880s, guests at Swinton Park in the Yorkshire Dales can look forward to an authentic English stately home experience and warm welcome.
Food plays a prominent role at the luxury country house hotel – there’s a four-acre kitchen garden, an award-winning restaurant and a cookery school in the grounds of the 20,000 acre Swinton Estate, overlooking the castle. Hotel guests have access to a range of country pursuits across the estate including fishing, golf, falconry, riding and shooting. There are splendid walks and beautiful gardens to explore, and you can play hunter-gatherer on a foraging walk. After all that action out in the fresh air, you’ll be content to relax in the hotel’s sumptuous spa.
Swinton Park is 32 miles (51 km) from York, which is 2 hours from London by train.
