The works were completed by Newcastle-based pub operator The Inn Collection Group, who are also turning the former Dower House Hotel and Spa in Knaresborough into The Knaresborough Inn.

Operations director for The Inn Collection Group, Chris Moor, said: “We’re excited that The Harrogate Inn has been received so positively since reopening and we are looking forward to unveiling The Knaresborough Inn as our second North Yorkshire site to complete refurbishment in a few weeks.

“The Inn will breathe new life into the venue and retain it as a resource and vital hub for the local community as much as guests coming to stay.”

The Bond End property was acquired by The Inn Collection Group back in December 2021 and closed for renovation last summer. The building is also Grade II listed, and was originally built by the Slingsby family in the 15th century.

The Inn Collection Group has also increased the number of bedrooms at the venue from 38 to 57 by using the space previously occupied by the venue’s spa and leisure facilities.
