Swinton Estate

About Swinton Estate

Swinton Park is impressive enough: a beautifully picturesque 18th-century castle surrounded by some 200 acres of lake-dotted parkland. But that’s only the core of the greater Swinton Estate, which expands to an eye-watering 20,000 acres and encompasses a number of freestanding cottages as well as Swinton Bivouac, a collection of lodges and yurts providing an uncommonly rustic glamping experience. It’s a rare hotel that can offer everything from a castle turret suite to a yurt, from a hydrotherapy spa to a “Druid’s Temple.” Activities include semi-wild country-house diversions like archery and falconry, and extend to some fairly distant rambles, thanks to the sheer size and wildness of the estate. Nor are the culinary arts neglected; Swinton Estate offers everything from fine dining and afternoon tea to cookery classes and the casual camp-side Bivouac Café.
