Swinton Park Review

If you weren't born in an aristocrat's vine-covered castle, you can stay here and have the experience. Mark Cunliffe-Lister, nephew of the earl and countess of Swinton, has converted this historic manor into a luxury hotel. Set in 80 hectares (200 acres) of parkland, lakes, and gardens, this family estate is a good base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park, lying 52km (32 miles) northwest of York. Even with a pedigree going back to the 1500s, the castle is up-to-date, with a spa and fitness area in a conservatory. There is also a bar in the family museum, a private cinema, and even a Victorian game room. Each of the spacious and beautifully designed bedrooms is individually designed, taking the theme of a Yorkshire dale, castle, abbey, or town.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; fitness center; Jacuzzi; room service; sauna; spa; Wi-Fi in lobby (free)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
