Enjoy the delights of a cooking holiday at an exclusive luxury castle, Swinton Park, set in 200 acres of parkland, lakes and gardens. The castle is surrounded by a family estate in which guests have access to rivers, reservoirs, moorland and the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales. With 4 Red Stars and 3 Rosettes awarded by the AA for excellent facilities, high levels of service, quality of cuisine, and the chance to cook with a celebrity chef, this will be a gourmet holiday to remember!

Cookery School

The cookery school is housed in the ground floor of the converted Georgian stables, which
overlook the castle turret and parkland.  Rosemary Shrager is our guest Celebrity Chef for the
2008 courses, with a choice of Modern British, Mediterranean Food and Fish and Seafood.
The kitchen is always busy and you will be amazed by the scope of each course – our underly-
ing philosophy is that the only way to learn is by hands on experience and we ensures that
every guest cooks to the best of their ability.

The four acre walled garden behind the hotel is planted with fruit, vegetables and herbs, pro-
viding a ready source of fresh ingredients for the hotel and school kitchens, and cut flowers
during the summer months.

We also welcome non-cooking partners. An extensive range of country pursuits are available to guests, who do not wish to cook - such as fishing, golf, falconry, off-road driving or simply in-
dulge at our Spa.
