The Red Lion completes £850k historic manor house restoration
The manor house’s former eleven bedrooms took five months to complete and have been converted into eight larger spaces
The Red Lion Hotel in Burnsall, part of Daniel Thwaites, has unveiled its £850k historic manor house renovation.
The inn has worked in partnership with interior design firm Sacha Interior and commercial renovation specialists Wilkinson Group.
The manor house’s former 11 bedrooms took five months to complete and have been converted into eight larger spaces.
Guests can now choose between three family rooms – each with two bedrooms – four signature doubles and one large feature room.
Some rooms come with views out to the nearby River Wharfe.
The bathrooms include “opulent” tiling and “industrial-style” fixtures and fittings. Additionally, guests of the feature room have access to a freestanding bath.
The refurbishment also includes fully rewiring and re-plumbing the building, installing new windows, doors and internal walls throughout, as well as repointing works.
Commenting on the refurbishment, Steve Martin, operations director at Daniel Thwaites, said: “The building is a real focal point for the Burnsall community, so we’ve worked carefully with our contractors and interior designer to ensure the renovation not only helps preserve the historic building, but also enhances our guest experience by making stays in our manor house even more welcoming.
“The work has formed an integral part of Daniel Thwaites’ long-term plan for the inn since adding the property to its portfolio in 2021. We’re thrilled to have reinvested back into the manor house and see this project come to life.”
