Why We Love This Deal
Afternoon tea at this "glorious country estate" (The AA) in North Yorkshire is sure to be a splendid affair. Tuck into sweet and savoury delights, then wander the beautiful surroundings of its 20,000-acre grounds, which features heritage parkland, a walled garden, lakes, and woodland. Entry to the estate and tea for two is £49 for Travelzoo club members, saving nearly £30 on the non-member price.
What's Included
- Afternoon tea for two which includes sandwiches, sweet and savoury treats, and scones with cream and jam
- Access to the gardens and parklands of Swinton Estate
- A voucher for one is £25; a voucher for four is £95
- Valid 12–5pm Monday–Friday until 31 March, 2025. You can visit on Saturday or a Sunday for a £5 per person supplement, payable directly to the venue; afternoon tea is served 3:30–5pm on Sundays. Garden entry is 8am–6pm
More Reasons to Go
- You'll dine at Swinton Park on the estate, ''a grand, castellated, English stately home, wrapped in parkland" (The Daily Telegraph)—an ideal setting for a quintessentially British afternoon tea.
- The shortest walk, around Coffin Pond, takes about 30 minutes, but you can easily spend a few hours at the estate and explore the whole area including the home lake, the spa gardens, the woodland wellbeing space, and the 4-acre walled garden—one of the biggest in England.
- Produce grown in the walled garden, as well as locally sourced meats and preserves, are used in the kitchen, which holds two AA-Rosettes.
- The estate has a 4 Red Star Award: Inspector's Choice from The AA, which is handed only to the best hotels in the British Isles; the property also featured on BBC's "Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby".

We bought the afternoon tea voucher from travel zoo which was greatly discounted of the full price.
We received the same excellent service in the beautiful drawing room and enjoyed the same full afternoon tea. We can highly recommend this beautiful hotel set in acres of grounds with a deer park and lakes.

Made me feel inferior for using a travel zoo voucher, staff not trained. Seated behind a door with screaming kids next door. Quality of food not what I expected from swinton

The afternoon tea was lovely, the grounds of Swinton are beautiful as is the castle. Staff were superb, we weren't rushed & they accommodated our food changes easily. Lovely afternoon would book again

We had a lovely 2 hour walk around the estate first, then had afternoon tea in the Drawing Room. The afternoon tea was excellent, and the staff were very attentive and friendly.
