New hotel and restaurant to open

A NEW hotel and restaurant is opening in North Yorkshire.

The Coach House at Middleton Lodge, Richmond, has been restored following a £2m investment to create a new 2000 sq ft restaurant and nine-bedroom hotel.

The Coach House has been created from the estate’s old Georgian stables.

James Allison, owner of Middleton Lodge, said: “The Coach House has been a labour of love for all of the Middleton Lodge team. We are so excited to launch and share our stunning estate with our guests.

“Throughout the transformation process we wanted to make sure that the restaurant and hotel felt contemporary and relaxed, but that its traditional soul was still retained. It was vital to keep as many of the original features as possible, filling each room with quirky antiques and original pieces created by local craftsmen. Supporting local suppliers and artists from across the region in this way is something that truly sits at the heart of The Coach House.”

The hotel and restaurant is on schedule to be ready for opening in October and has created 25 new jobs.
