Northern Powerhouse Developments the World Of Hospitality 91
Dating back to the 12th century, Monk Fryston Hall, which is surrounded by 30 acres of parkland, woodland trails and gardens, was originally home to the Benedictine monks from nearby Selby Abbey. It later boasted its own private zoo and NPD, which has its headquarters in Halifax, is looking forward to adding a new chapter to the building’ s already long and impressive history.
The hotel will remain open throughout the planned rolling programme of renovations, which include upgrading the 30 bedrooms and existing terrace restaurant and building a new luxury spa complex. Already a popular choice for weddings, under NPD’ s proposals the hotel’ s two large function rooms will also be sympathetically refurbished.
The successful purchase of Monk Fryston Hall represents a major coup for NPD and further boosts its Yorkshire based portfolio, which also includes the Imperial Crown Hotel in Halifax, the Old Golf House Hotel in Huddersfield and Scarborough’ s Esplanade Hotel and we hear they are soon to announce another.
In addition, the company also has properties in North and South Wales, Warwickshire, Gilsland and Devon.
