Rudding Park has unveiled plans to invest more than £30million in upgrading facilities across the family-owned hotel and golf club in Harrogate.
The plans, which are set to be completed in 2030, will see the resort replace its existing 30-year-old clubhouse with a new 60,000sqft building that will form part of a new members-only country club.
The owners of the four AA Red Star hotel will also upgrade the existing health and wellbeing facilities – with a new swimming pool, seven new racquet sport courts, and an accompanying pavilion. A new Family Hub with a creche and a children’s play area will also be created, alongside the full restoration of a walled garden.
The investment in new facilities is being funded with a business loan from HSBC UK, and it is expected to create 75 jobs.
Nick Mackaness, joint managing director at Rudding Park, said: “This is an exciting new phase of growth for Rudding Park, as we continue to expand and diversify high quality experiences for our guests. HSBC UK’s support will enable us to complete these development works, making sure our facilities exceed the expectations of our guests. We look forward to expanding the team and attracting visitors from all over the UK as our plans take shape.”
Rudding Park has been owned by the Mackaness family since 1972 and currently has 90 bedrooms and suites, a spa, three restaurants, a kitchen garden, private cinema, two golf courses, and conference and events spaces.
