The new Flat Cap Hotels boutique brand has announced the completion of its extensive refurbishment programme at its first Cheshire hotel, where 40 jobs have been created.
The 17th century Grade-II listed property in Cheshire has been transformed into The Vicarage Freehouse and Rooms.
The renovation programme also saw the addition of a games room, conservatory and library for conference and banqueting as well as various hidden 'snug' rooms with restored fireplaces.
Next year, the site will see the addition of six larger suites and a spa and leisure facility.
Coming from a line of hoteliers, brothers Oliver and Dominic Heywood are the third generation to pioneer a new brand of establishments in the North West. Dominic runs the daily operations with support from Oliver who focuses on the brand and acquisition of new properties.
The ambitious duo are also looking to acquire a further two hotels this year and have a strategy to obtain five hotels under Flat Cap Hotels by 2018.
