“Furthermore, it signals their intention to grow their business in the North of England. The previous owners created a resort of the highest quality, making The KP one of Yorkshire’s most well regarded holiday and leisure destinations. I have no doubt that under Darwin’s ownership, it will continue to thrive and be the setting for many more memorable customer experiences.”
