Renovation completed at historic manor house
The Red Lion in Burnsall, part of the Daniel Thwaites hospitality business, has unveiled the transformation of its manor house following an £850,000 renovation.
Taking five months to complete, the inn has worked with interior design firm Sacha Interiors to deliver a project which is sensitive to the historic fabric of the building, which dates back to 1883.
The manor house’s former 11 bedrooms have been converted into eight larger spaces, with guests now able to choose between three family rooms – each with two bedrooms – four signature doubles and one large feature room.
Delivered alongside commercial renovation specialists Wilkinson Group, some of the new bedrooms include views out to the nearby River Wharfe.
Steve Martin, operations director at Daniel Thwaites, said: “The building is a real focal point for the Burnsall community, so we’ve worked carefully with our contractors and interior designer to ensure the renovation not only helps preserve the historic building, but also enhances our guest experience by making stays in our manor house even more welcoming.
“The work has formed an integral part of Daniel Thwaites’ long-term plan for the inn since adding the property to its portfolio in 2021.
“We’re thrilled to have reinvested back into the manor house and see this project come to life.”
The refurbishment also included fully re-wiring and re-plumbing the building, installing new windows, doors and internal walls throughout, as well as re-pointing works.
