Swinton Bivouac

I'd appreciated more if charging point in the lounge had more security. Because of that I had to reduce activities that's a real shame. Except that I had an amazing experience there. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing stay in the Bivouacs. We were celebrating a 1st birthday and had three yurts. We’ve been before but this time we noticed the general area felt a bit smarter and tidier. We knew what to expect regarding the communal kitchen and BBQ area and it worked well for us but did feel that a few more fridges would be much better, especially if quite a few yurts are being occupied. The BBQ could do with a good clean too. The little packs left for the children with caps, kites, activities etc were amazing and also the kits for making smores. We used ALL of the facilities including the kids craft room, the playground, the family room in the cafe, the complimentary coffee in the resident’s lounge. We used the football pitch, the fire pits, the hot tub. We explored the Druid’s Temple and followed the Fairy Trail. On top of all this, we visited the wonderful spa for the kid’s session and the chaps had a go at laser shooting followed by cream tea. We watched the deer, folk fly fishing, visited the aviaries and pootled around the glorious walled garden brimming with fruit, flowers and veg with a takeaway coffee from the Terrace. There’s so much to do at Swinton and we return year after year. We find it luxurious but comfortable and homely. The staff are amazing and go out of there way to make you feel like part of a big family. Can’t wait to go again

Very good stay -beautiful scenery around the bivouac. Nice double room ,comfy large bed. Only criticism would be there is a customer lounge immediately below the loft and it's open 24 hrs a day and any noise carries to the loft especially at night. I would suggest a closing time of early evening to avoid this.

Very excellent customer service

Stayed for 2 nights. 2 adults, 2 children and our dog. This place is a hidden gem in North Yorkshire. We had the most magical time. The Tree house and hut tub were pre heat for our arrival. Despite being very cold the little Tree house was so so cozy and remained cosy all night long after the fire had burnt out. There are multiple lights and fairy lights all round so it’s well Illuminated and you can swap the lights at reception daily for fully charged ones. There is plenty of wood at the end of each Tree house to keep fires stocked. You’ll never run out. The views, the grounds are just so picturesque, the trails to walk on are well kept and whole area is amazing. The residents room at reception has a free coffee machine and lots of games you can take to your TH. Also multiple charging options in there. There is just so much to like about this place. Our family didn’t want to leave. This is amazing for families but would also be really romantic for couples to get away. Don’t take my word for it get it booked you won’t regret it. Ps the sauna is lovely too.
