A quiet but lovely two nights
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.

Donna

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.

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 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
