Further Details |
Award winning cuisine is served in the sumptuously furnished dining room, with an emphasis on the seasonal produce sourced from the hotel's four acre walled garden and surrounding estate. Swinton Park's commitment to cutting food miles and carbon emissions and reducing power consumption, following the restoration of its walled garden, the installation of a carbon-neutral wood-chip boiler and an eco-friendly laundry, has been recognised at a national level. The courtyard at ground floor houses a spa and fitness area in the conservatory with a variety of health and beauty treatments available. There is also the Museum Bar (formerly the family museum), a private cinema, and a snooker and Victorian games room for the guests' enjoyment and relaxation. The function rooms at Swinton Park cater for a wide range of events, functions and parties. From a board meeting in one of the turret rooms to a company presentation in the library (seating up to 120), we are able to offer top of the range facilities, within the splendour of our traditional surroundings and superb location.

I felt I had to write to pass on to you and your excellent staff our thanks for such a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable break. We cannot speak too highly of the service we received - always courteous, friendly and extremely efficient from reception to restaurant staff, housekeepers to the delightful ladies who cared for me in the treatment rooms where I enjoyed a wonderful facial.
