An exclusive
30 bedroom luxury castle hotel.
Swinton Park is the ancestral home of the Cunliffe-Lister family and is set in 200 acres of parkland, lakes and gardens. The castle is
surrounded by the family estate in which guests have access to rivers, reservoirs, moorland, dales and beautiful countryside bordering the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Swinton Park is a Grade II *
listed building, the heart of which dates from the 1600's with substantial alterations carried out during the 1700's and 1800's.
The approach to the castle past the gatehouse and up the sweeping drive through the deer park arrives at the portico where
guests are met in the turret lobby.
The library (suitable for functions and weddings), the private
sitting room and private dining room, the drawing room and the
dining room are all south facing and overlook the lake and deer
park. The morning room and lower hall overlook the gatehouse and
converted Georgian stables.
The courtyard houses a spa in the conservatory
and there is also a gym and a wide variety of health and beauty treatments available. There is also the bar (in the family museum), a private cinema and
a snooker and games room for the guests' enjoyment and relaxation.
Many activities are available at the hotel including clay pigeon
shooting, trout and coarse fishing, horse riding, Bird of Prey
Centre, golf,
mountain and off-road driving.
The celebrity chef, Rosemary Shrager,
is the guest celebrity chef at the award winning cookery school in the converted Georgian
stables. Residential and day courses are run throughout the year,
and the school is also available for private hire.
The bedrooms, on first and second floors, are individually designed and decorated on
the theme of a Yorkshire town, dale, castle, abbey or garden, according to the aspect of the room. For example, the Harrogate room faces south across the lake and deer park whilst the Richmond room faces east overlooking the gatehouse and driveway.
Five of the bedrooms are suites and the turret room is on three floors
with a (steep!) staircase between. A lift serves both first and
second floors.
Swinton Park is situated half a mile outside the charming small market town of Masham, 5 miles from the A1, 32 miles from the historic
city of York and 35 miles from Leeds. The nearest airports are Teesside - 32 miles and Leeds Bradford - 35 miles. The hotel will provide a helipad for guests (Coordinates N 54:12:9 W 001:40:33)
