Swinton Park, the luxury 30-bedroom castle hotel and cookery school in the Yorkshire Dales is seeking planning approval to introduce spa facilities and enhance the dining options at the Grade II-listed venue.
The new spa would include a swimming pool, gym and studio space, treatment rooms and a beauty salon.

A new restaurant  with a bar, private dining facilities and an outside terrace is planned and this would complement ‘Samuels’, Swinton Park’s  three AA rosette restaurant where menus are inspired by the fruit, vegetables and herbs grown in what is the largest hotel kitchen garden in the UK.

A 700 sq. ft. retail unit is also included in the plans which would sell both local and estate produce and allow public access to the gardens.

Swinton Park is a country estate centred on Swinton Castle and set in 200 acres of parkland in the Yorkshire Dales. It is located approximately eight miles north west of Ripon within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
