Fantastic experience. The half-day cookery school was relaxed and enjoyable and even though I went on my own the cooking spaces were set out so that I was next to others. The tutor was friendly, welcoming and knowledge, the time flew by and there was extras provided for us to enjoy to eat with our own dishes. The spa was lovely, staff welcoming and this was one of the best back massages I’ve ever had, super therapist.

We cannot rate the cookery course enough. It was a fantastic experience beyond our expectations. It was professionally managed and organised. The chef and helper were friendly, helpful and great at giving tips. The whole experience was well thought through so all aspects added to our enjoyment. Well done to the Swinton team.
We do hope that Travelzoo put this out again as would love to go on another cookery course.

What a stunningly beautiful place. The spa, though not large, was very good, thoroughly clean and the staff helpful. We were just so sorry we were not able to spend more time viewing the grounds. We will definitely be back!

Clean. Lovely staff who couldn’t have been more helpful. Cookery course was amazing. Just a wonderful time. It was my daughter’s 50th birthday and the travel zoo experience made it a very memorable event. More of the same please

Absolutely brilliant day. Ian the chef in the cooking school who spent 3hrs with us.showing us different ways to cook with fish was brilliant and.friendly too.
Nothing was rushed and would book again in a minute.
Followed onto the spa for 3hrs with a treatment was perfect to.end our day. Spa was very nice and the girls doing the treatments were very professional. Very nice head massage with a lovely feet bath to start with. The treatment rooms and relax area were 5star. Indoor and outdoor pool were relaxing .down to the lovely weighted blankets when you got out of the fresh water pool. Would have liked to walk round the gardens and a swim in the lake.but weather was drizzly unfortunately.
All in all I would recommend anyone who is thinking of this experience to book. You won't regret it.

The cooking class was above and beyond what was expected. An excellent chef and kitchen staff, we made four dishes which was more than we expected and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We shall definitely be going back!! In addition we had a spa including a 45 min treatment which again was very good. The best day I've had in ages, cannot recommend it highly enough.
