Monk Fryston Hall Hotel moves into the hands of administrators

Monk Fryston Hall Hotel is in the hands of the administrators having failed to recover for challenges arising from the Covid pandemic.

Located in the Vale of York, between Leeds and Selby, the Grade II listed country house hotel dates from the 12th century, and sits in extensive parkland, it has function rooms, a restaurant and 29 en-suite bedrooms. It was a popular wedding venue.

Having traded successfully for many years, the hotel was forced to close during the Covid pandemic and faced challenges that prevented it from re-opening. Despite interest from a number of parties, a sale has not been concluded and the directors have now appointed Begbies Traynor to place it into administration in order to protect the business while a purchaser is sought. It is being marketed by Eddisons.

The hotel is currently not trading and around 10 staff who were laid off following the Covid outbreak have now been made redundant.

Julian Pitts, joint administrator and regional managing partner at Begbies Traynor in Yorkshire, said: “Monk Fryston Hall Hotel is a magnificent historic building and has been successfully trading as a hotel and wedding venue since the 1950s. Unfortunately, like many businesses in the hospitality sector, the disruption of the pandemic proved to be too great a burden for it to bear.

“We are currently working closely with Eddisons to market the business in order to provide the best return for creditors as well as enabling it to continue to trade and provide jobs for local people.”
