Swinton Country Club and Spa

Enjoy a scenic spa getaway in the Yorkshire Dales at this luxury castle hotel retreat

Located just over 30 miles away from both York and Leeds, Swinton Country Club and Spa is nestled amid 200 acres of beautiful grounds within the Swinton Estate. Launched in summer 2017, the multi-million pound Club and Spa development features world class facilities to ensure you enjoy an unforgettable visit. These include an 18 metre indoor swimming pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a 10 metre outdoor pool.

Offering a range of massages, facials and body treatments alongside dedicated treatments for men, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a romantic break with your better half. After primping and preening, soak your stresses away in one of the cedar hot tubs, or sweat it out in the Finnish sauna.

If this all sounds too relaxing, the family that owns the Swinton Country Club and Spa also run the surrounding 20,000 acre estate. This gives you access to a range of more adventurous countryside pursuits to enjoy during your stay, including golf, fishing and horse riding.

Back at the Swinton Park castle hotel after a busy or calm day (depending on whether you’ve stayed in the spa or ventured out), the award-winning restaurant is guaranteed to recharge your batteries before you retire to one of the traditional decorated bedrooms.

If you’re in desperate need of an escape from suburbia and love the Dales, Swinton Country Club and Spa should tick all the right boxes. This countryside retreat accepts day visitors but for a real treat, make sure you book yourself an overnight stay.
