Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely location
Negative: Rather tired, the furniture in the sitting rooms was very old and uncomfortable, we asked for a cup of tea when we arrived but as we had missed β€œhigh tea” so we were β€œallowed” a cup of tea but no biscuits or cake etc! On a dirty table. We asked for a small picnic to take on our walk the next day, just a sandwich, told it was ok then rung later to say we had to give them 24 hours notice! The code to get back into the park did not work so my husband had to climb the wall to open the gate not ideal after a 15 mile walk. The overall experience was no one was interested in going the extra mile to accommodate us. Another small but annoying thing the bed pillows were also very old and lumpy. The whole place needs a good shakeup. Maybe a better manager, the potential is there but not quite making it. The food was absolutely delicious and the Samual restaurant staff were very good.
Summary: Lovely spot but more shabby than chic

Positive: The grounds are stunning and we throughly enjoyed our time exploring them. Worth a trip up to the Druid circle although I'd recommend driving unless you're hearty, as it's quite far. The property is beautiful and feels exclusive. The spa facilities are good, especially the pool.
Negative: Check in wasn't great. Left sitting for 30 minutes as they tried to sort out our which had a plumbing issue, eventually in but the issue hadn't been fixed and we had to move room due to leaky tap. It felt a little long to be left sitting. And then it took around an hour for them to prepare the new room. New room was a suite, but felt tired and the furnishings were a little hard. Layout also a little strange, and shutters were very hard to open. All in all the food was good. Some elements were excellent such as the Sunday lunch and a few of the a la carte options. However both of our desserts were underwhelming and the cost of the breakfast massively put us off. There is no light or small option for those that do not want the full breakfast, such that we decided to have nothing at all on both of our mornings as we couldn't justify spending that much on breakfast. The grounds are beautiful, and the building is stunning but as a hotel there could have been improvements. I would visit the Estate again, but for the high cost you expect at least a 9/10 experience so I'm not sure we'd stay at the hotel again
Summary: Good, but ultimately a touch underwhelming

Positive: The setting is gorgeous and very impressive already from arrival. The building are beautiful and interior beautifully curated. We didn't use the spa, but walked around the grounds extensively and loved it. We also had a hawk walk with the falconer, who was super knowledgeable and passionate: we really enjoyed it and will never forget it. Dinner at the Terrace was superb. We really look forward to coming back to Swinton Park.
Negative: Communication before arrival could be improved a bit, but nothing major.
Summary: Gorgeous, we hope to be back soon!

Positive: Spectacular setting and lots to do if you use it as a base. The grounds alone will keep you entertained for a morning. Lovely staff.
Negative: We stayed on a Friday, so peak price. However, the room did not justify the Β£400 price, excluding breakfast. Since we're talking about breakfast, expected a lot more for the Β£35 pp!!! Overall, it felt like a bit of profiteering, which soured the experience.'

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful setting & expansive grounds, the historical aspect, the deer outside, beautiful rooms with fresh flowers everywhere
Negative: I tried to get a reservation for a falconry experience via phone call and emails over a period of 5 days before we arrived. Nothing was done, unavailable on check-in, and just a β€˜oh, we’re sorry’ from the front desk. Wasn’t impressed at Β£25/head spa entrance fee as a guest of the hotel, this really should be included at the price and in a hotel of this standard.
Summary: Relaxing, luxurious.
