This charming listed hotel, recently bought by new owners was upgraded to boutique standard after years of under-investment. The work entailed maximising existing space including creation of improved suites, function areas and staff facilities. The most ambitious change was the decommissioning of an existing indoor pool followed by the reinstatement of the previous chapel to provide a unique function room. The grade 2 listed building needed a new energy strategy as well as improvements to all facilities for guests including Access, Fire and H&S The project was shortlisted for the CIW conservation awards
