New managers have taken over at a historic Knaresborough hotel.
Newton House Hotel, York Place, was acquired by Lamb and Flag Enterprise Ltd after former owner Denise Carter retired.
Ms Carter bought the 12-bedroom building in 2011. She went on to win plenty of awards, including top spot on the Channel 4 TV show Four in a Bed in 2016.
Now, Raphael and Cici Carreira have taken over management of the property following the Lamb and Flag acquisition.
The Brazilian-born couple intend to bring a new approach to the B&B, while retaining the high-quality service and locally sourced food for its award-winning English breakfasts.

Lamb and Flag Enterprises has retained the existing hotel staff team and will continue to operate the business as is, while plans for refurbishment in 2023 are prepared to expand the services offered within the property.
Richard Venable, Lamb and Flag Enterprises director, said:
“It is business as usual at the moment until we line up our plans for the longer term.
“We are confident that our guests will continue to enjoy the same warm welcome they have become accustomed to at Newton House, with Raphael, Cici and their friendly and efficient team.”
Newton House Hotel is a converted 300-year-old Georgian townhouse rumoured to have been built with stone from Knaresborough Castle.
