New owners outline boutique hotel plans for North Yorkshire inn
THE new owners of a renowned North Yorkshire restaurant are to invest a further £1m to create a boutique hotel.
The Provenance Inns and Hotels Group acquired the Cleveland Tontine, between Northallerton and Stokesley, at the beginning of June and is already making plans to restore the inn to its former glory days.
The Tontine already has seven 5-star rated recently-refurbished bedrooms but Provenance Inns is exploring ways to add to these, subject to planning consent, with the refurbishment of a listed former coachhouse on the site.
Director Michael Ibbotson said: “The condition of the coachhouse has deteriorated over time and we felt that it provided a great opportunity to achieve two goals: to restore it and to be able to offer more rooms for our guests at this unique location on the edge of the North York Moors.”
The Tontine is the ninth acquisition for the group.
Provenance Inns and Hotels offers 5-star rated bedrooms at five of its eight Yorkshire locations – The Carpenters Arms in Felixkirk near Thirsk, The Durham Ox in Crayke, The Oak Tree Inn in Helperby near Boroughbridge, the West Park Hotel in Harrogate and West Acre Lodge in Boltby.
