Swinton Park

Castle hotel with dog-friendly breakfast tables and 200 acres of parkland

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A castle-style country house on the 20,000-acre Swinton Estate just outside Masham, with a cookery school, spa and a working estate around it. Most bedrooms take dogs and the hotel publishes a detailed pet policy that names every room a dog can use. It suits owners who want a grand house where the dog is part of the stay rather than an exception. Dogs can join you at breakfast at the high tables in Samuel's.

Breakfast at the high tables in Samuel's. For dinner, book a dog-friendly table in the Terrace Bar or eat on the Terrace garden. Dogs are welcome in the Sitting Room, Billiard Room, Morning Room and Lower Hall, but not in the spa, the Drawing Room or the Castle Bar. You can leave the dog in the room if you tell reception and use the door hanger. Off the lead in the park where there's no livestock, on the lead in the Walled Garden.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
