What Can I Expect

Private island hire - quite possibly the most romantic gesture ever! It'll be just the two of you on Swinton Estate's lovely little secret islands on the lake for the whole day. Ideal for a very special birthday surprise, an anniversary treat, or even a proposal!

The two of you will have access to the islands from dawn until dusk. Getting there is a mini adventure in itself, as you'll use the hand-drawn cable ferry from the ‘mainland' to traverse the water to the first island.

This gorgeous little spot has a secluded seating area, a fire pit to keep you toasty warm and cosy blankets and sheepskins too. Just sit, drink in the tranquillity and the sense of romance all around on your own private island. Bliss!

When you're ready to explore, take a stroll to the little wooden bridge. It leads to a delightful stone Summer House on another small island. Open the door and head inside. You'll find a table and chairs set up, lots of scented candles and more comfy blankets and throws to wrap yourselves up in. There are even board games!

This might be the moment to crack open the hamper. Inside you'll find all the traditional afternoon tea sweet and savoury treats - and there's piping hot Swinton Estate Blend tea to sip too!

Impossibly romantic, a visit to this cute little duo of islands makes for a wonderfully peaceful and private day out for you both. Book this for your loved one and you are guaranteed to mark some serious Brownie points!

And if you've got something special to say to your special someone, we think this is the perfect setting. Buy your voucher online and get ready to enjoy your own private island for a day on the lovely Swinton Estate in the Yorkshire Dales.
