Swinton Park is an exclusive 30 bedroom luxury castle hotel, the ancestral home of the Cunliffe-Lister family, and is set in 200 acres of parkland, lakes and gardens.

With 4 Red Stars (Inspector’s Choice) and 3 Rosettes awarded by the AA for excellent facilities, high levels of service and quality of cuisine, this is one of the highest rated hotels in Yorkshire and Cumbria.

Swinton Park’s chef, Simon Crannage, enjoys an enviable reputation for the quality of the food served at Samuel’s. Award winning cuisine is served in the sumptuously furnished dining room, with an emphasis on seasonal and local produce inspired by the fruit, vegetables and herbs grown in the hotel’s four acre walled garden (the largest hotel kitchen garden in the UK), and the menus change accordingly.

The hotel is also surrounded by a 20,000 acre estate stretching from the River Ure in Wensleydale up onto the moorland Dales and estate venison, rabbit, smoked trout and game are a few examples of the local ingredients sourced from it.
