Swinton Park is a luxury 4 red star luxury grade II castle hotel set in landscaped parkland near Masham, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. It has been a family home since the late 1800s and has played host to country house parties of legendary style and grandeur. Mark and Felicity Cunliffe-Lister are enormously proud to welcome you to join them to continue this tradition.

The earliest part of the castle dates from the late 1600s which has since been extended, castellated and furnished during both the Georgian and Victorian eras. The drawing room, sitting room and morning room are all graciously furnished with antique furniture and family portraits and offer the guest many a quiet moment to absorb the timeless elegance of an English country house. All 42 bedrooms are individually designed on the theme of a Yorkshire town, dale, garden, castle or abbey and enjoy fabulous views over the parkland.

The range of three and four bedroom Yorkshire Cottages are perfect for a small group or family retreat, allowing guests to experience Swinton Estate in a unique and personal way. Both located just outside the walls of Swinton Park, it’s an excellent way to enjoy the Estate’s amazing facilities from a cosy and homely environment.
