Waterton Park Hotel Overview

Waterton Park Hotel in Wakefield is a truly unique 4-star hotel, surrounded by a glorious country estate that was established as the world's first nature reserve. The focal point of Waterton Park Hotel is Walton Hall - an elegant Georgian mansion house sat on its own island in a 26 acre lake. Waterton Park Hotel has an 18-hole golf course and Walton Hall is home to its health club, award-winning restaurant and several bedrooms, accessed via a picturesque iron footbridge.

Waterton Park Hotel is four miles from the M1, Junction 39, and six miles from the M62, Junction 31. The hotel comprises a splendid Georgian mansion house on its own island and a modern hotel on the lake shore. Together they offer luxury bedrooms - many with four poster beds, restaurants, bars, conference rooms and leisure facilities.

Most of the bedrooms offer views over the lake or surrounding golf course and all have Wi-Fi internet access. The hotel features a leisure club with indoor pool built at lake level. Swimmers can look out onto the lake and surrounding countryside. There is Fly-fishing from the hotels own private lake stocked with rainbow and brown trout.

Modern English cuisine is served in the award winning Bridgewater Restaurant with views of the lake. Charlie's Bar has a more informal atmosphere with its brasserie style menu. The Terrace overlooks the lake with seating outside, perfect for 'al fresco' dining and enjoying the fantastic island location.

The estate has been further enhanced with a Championship 18-hole Golf Course which surrounds the hotel and lake. Ample free car parking.

Hotel Heritage & History

Walton Hall was once the home of Charles Waterton - an eccentric 19th century traveller and naturalist, who scoured the globe for rare species. On his return, Charles Waterton transformed the estate into the world's first nature reserve.

Walton Hall is a beautiful Georgian mansion house on an island surrounded by a 26 acre lake accessible only by a picturesque iron footbridge.

Today, Waterton Park Hotel comprises the original Georgian mansion house and a purpose-built hotel on the mainland. Bedrooms are located in both Walton Hall on the island and on the mainland.
