John Dixon Hart, 60, has been likened to Basil Fawlty for his management of Minster Garth in Beverley, a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse originally owned by his mother. The hotelier appeared at Hull Crown Court today for sentencing after pleading guilty to six charges against him relating to a nine-month period in 2021 and 2022 when a number of guests complained about the state of the rooms and his conduct towards them.
However, Hart, who did not have legal representation, told a sympathetic Judge Mark Bury that the business was potentially a ‘goldmine’ and that he hoped to keep running it and eventually pass it on to his two sons. Judge Bury agreed he should not have to pay the £16,000 court costs after hearing that Hart faced large unpaid tax and utility bills and was struggling to turn a profit.
