    A Harrogate hotel has said it has been dealt a devastating blow by being forced to close, just days after investing in a new Winter Wonderland Teepee.

    The Majestic Hotel on Ripon Road hoped to offer a family-friendly dining experience with Christmas market-style food.

    Andy Barnsdale, DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa general manager, said:

    “Going into a second lockdown is a devastating blow for the hospitality industry, particularly as we are entering our busiest period.
    "In the three days that it was open it was a great success. The majority of those visited were Harrogate residents. It offered a bit of winter cheer in these difficult times and the atmosphere was great."


    The hotel had brought back all its staff from furlough in August and has said it will now put the majority back on the furlough scheme.

    It will now look at options such as providing rooms for key workers and those who need to work away from home.
