Waterton Park Hotel is a truly unique place to stay. The focal point of the hotel is Walton Hall – a grand Georgian mansion house situated on its own island, surrounded by a picturesque lake, an 18-hole golf course and rolling Yorkshire countryside.

The unique island mansion house houses 22 of the hotel bedrooms, the Grand Café restaurant, and a health club with a pool set at lake level. There are additional bedrooms located in a modern building on the ‘mainland’, with a beautiful arched iron footbridge linking the two together.

The glorious country estate that provides the backdrop to Waterton Park Hotel was the world’s first established wild fowl reserve and Walton Hall itself was originally the home of an eccentric, 19th Century traveller and naturalist, named Charles Waterton. Most of the bedrooms at Waterton Park Hotel have lake or golf course and countryside views.
