Plans to restore 19 bedrooms at a 100-year-old hotel have been put forward to the district council.

Mallory Court Hotel has applied for permission to give a makeover to many of the rooms at the grade II listed house, saying the works are needed to keep the business going.

Plans submitted to Warwick District Council show the scheme would see bathrooms in many of the rooms completely stripped and redesigned.

If approved, the project would also see some of the bathrooms at the Harbury Lane site made bigger.

"Layouts of the current rooms are not ergonomic or commercially viable as they are," the application said. 

"For the hotel to continue commercially and keep its rating, a full bedroom makeover is required."

Mallory Court describes itself as a "quintessential English country house hotel and spa" and is part of the Eden Hotel Collection of six hotels in the region.

Set in 10 acres of land, the house was first built for James Thomas Holt in 1916 as the businessman looked to retire to Warwickshire.

Having already changed hands a couple of times prior, the house was eventually bought in 1995 by current owner Sir Peter Rigby.

Since then more bedrooms, a brasserie and a spa have been unveiled.
