Historic inn and hotel The General Tarleton up for sale after refurbishment

A REFURBISHED 18th century coaching inn has been put on the market for £1.2m.

The General Tarleton Hotel and Restaurant, near Harrogate, is a 15-bedroom inn with period features including oak beams and exposed stone walls and flooring.

The current owners and area locals, the Morris family, purchased the property in 2021 and have carried out extensive refurbishments throughout.

Sitting on a 0.8-acre site, the inn features an outdoor drinking and dining space and a restaurant, bar and atrium which seats up to 90 diners.

There is also a private dining room in the attic above the restaurant, which can seat 20 guests.

An owner or manager’s four-bedroom apartment is part of the building. Jon Morris said: “As a local resident and frequent customer, my family and I have long felt that with the right investment in the building and the business, The General Tarleton could be restored to its former glory.

"So, when it came up for sale around four years ago, we decided to purchase and improve the building, and are now at the stage where we are looking for a new owner or operator to take it to the next level.”

Christie & Co hotel director Mark Worley, who is handling the sale, said: “The General Tarleton is a great building in an affluent, highly sought-after location close to National Parks and major tourist destinations.

"This is a great opportunity for an operator to take full advantage of the investments made by the Morris family and to reap the rewards.”

The inn is close to the A1(M) and popular North Yorkshire towns as well as The Yorkshire Dales and The North York Moors National Parks, making it a convenient spot for tourists and those wishing to break the journey when travelling between Scotland and Southern England.
