The Old Deanery in Ripon has ceased trading earlier than planned after 17 years and gone back on the market.
The hotel, bar and wedding venue was closed because of the lockdown but was not formally due to cease trading until the end of June.
However, the following statement, attributed to 'the management team', appeared on its website last week:
"It is with great sadness that we announce The Old Deanery has ceased trading from March 8 due to the negative impacts of coronavirus.
"From Linda, Chris and all the team; we'd like to thank you all for your custom over the years - it's been our pleasure to welcome you to The Old Deanery."
