Instead, they are repitching the Yorke Arms as "the ultimate staycation" to reconnect and immerse. It will be an informal space for private events and overnight stays.
The dining room will still be open for guests to eat together but it could also work as a boardroom meeting or wedding ceremony space.
They have also adapted the living space areas to become lounges and guests can bring their own alcohol for the bar.
Owner Jonathan Turner said:
With 17 individually styled Yorkshire-proud bedrooms with en-suites, The Yorke Arms can accommodate 33 guests overnight and many more during the day or evening.
