THE relaunch of one of North Yorkshire’s best-known inns following extensive refurbishment was marked with a reception.

The Cleveland Tontine at Staddlebridge, acquired by the Yorkshire-based Provenance Inns and Hotels Group last summer, has undergone a £1m upgrade.

Provenance Inns Chairman Chris Blundell told guests about the labour of love to complete the second phase of refurbishments to the 1804 listed building.
