Work is currently on-going restoring and redeveloping Grantley Hall into a five-star hotel.

Grantley Hall is a Grade II-listed country house near Ripon in North Yorkshire.

When complete Grantley Hall hotel will have 52 bedrooms, three restaurants and a spa.

Plans have now been approved to create purpose-designed events space alongside the hall's Japanese Garden, with additional suite-style bedrooms.

The Grantley Hall hotel project is scheduled for completion during 2018.

Grantley Hall was built in the mid-18th century as a private residence. More recently the building was used as a convalescent home during World War II. After the war, the property became an adult education residential centre.

Grantley Hall is situated near Grantley, around five miles west of Ripon, on the banks of the River Skell.
