Tickton Grange Hotel Beverley

At home in Hockney’s Yorkshire somewhere amidst the rolling Wolds and rugged coastline, stands our handsome Georgian hideaway.

A family affair, brushed with Palladian hues and kissed with all things boutique; stroll amongst English gardens, sink into sumptuous interiors, share our table laden with consummate delights; before bed, cloaked in the softest of Yorkshire yarns.

Our Family

Our parents first brought us to Tickton Grange nearly 40 years ago. Wet rot, dry rot, dilapidated and neglected we fell in love. It was home. Brought up to give rather than to take, how amazing it has been to share this old house with those who work with us and with you, our guests.

Now, with the sound of our own grandchildren running around (particularly Daisy whose legs never stop) we are excited about what lies ahead, but ever mindful of, and grateful to, those who have carried us to this point. Moored in the past yet committed to the future.

Our Friends

Collaboration, ingenuity, integrity and quality, are instincts that guide our family. Every partnership made and friendship forged, adds to the spirit of our home.

Indeed, from the moment we first creaked open the doors, we have sought out those who are in love with their crafts just as much as we are. Inviting each to pitch in their own creativity, breath life into our style and help Tickton to bloom by our sides.

Maham Anjum

Designer, potter and wonderful collaborator, Maham has worked closely with our chefs to design and then hand throw beautiful plates, jugs and bowls for us which we use in our Library and in our restaurant.

The glazes are stunning. She also designed our own range of bone china which is not only made by hand for us but also hand painted and gilded by the craftsmen and women at Royal Crown Derby

Adam Prest

We have never (ever!) met such a talented floral artist as Adam. It has been our enormous pleasure to work with him; hosting workshops large and small, running ‘shoots’ for us and helping us bring out the best in this lovely Georgian house. His work is simply spectacular.

Compleat Interiors

Brothers Andrew and Mike have been on a journey with us, designing every room we have refurbished over the past few years.

From the drawing board to making the furniture, curtains, pelmets, cushions to framing pictures and hanging mirrors… Everything detail is considered and every item is handmade specifically for us in their workshop in Hexham

Our Rooms

Brushed with colours borrowed from gone by Georgian days. Bathed in the light of delicate sash windows. Warmed by sumptuous fabrics, textures and tones. Our bedrooms are much more than a break away from the hubbub.

Cosy robes, bedside lights, piled up books, quiet corners, chairs to draw up, the softest of yarns to slink under. It doesn’t get better than this… Dotted between the house, the farmhouse wing and The Granary; our Cottage in the grounds, from ‘Intimate’ to ‘Suites’, discover our categories below.
