Knaresborough's Dower House to reopen in 12 days
The Dower House in Knaresborough will open with a new name and a completely fresh look on September 4.
The venue has undergone a major refurbishment since it closed last summer.
The Inn Collection Group, which has bought the venue along with other historic hotels in Ripon and Harrogate, has renamed it the Knaresborough Inn.
The Newcastle-based owners have 32 venues in northern England and north Wales, which are marketed as 'inns with rooms' rather than hotels.
The Knaresborough venue will therefore no longer have a spa and gym but it does have an extra nine bedrooms and will focus more on food and drink for local people.
A new portico entrance has been built on the Grade II-listed 15th century building.
New signs have gone up.
Meanwhile. the Ripon Spa Hotel is due to reopen as the Ripon Inn in October. A precise date has not been revealed.
The Harrogate Inn, formerly the St George Hotel, reopened on July 3 after a 152-day refurbishment.
