We had a fabulous 2 night break at this fabulous hotel. The location is great, the rooms were very clean and spacious and the staff are more than willing to help. We panicked when we couldn't find an iron in our room as we packed in rather a hurry but the staff were very quick to put one in our... More

We stayed in Room 5, a superior 'character' room, for one night. The room was on the top floor and was nicely furnished with a small seating area too. The bathroom was good also with a jacuzzi bath and powerful shower. My only criticism would be the creaky floorboards, but this is an old property and it's to be expected.... More

This was the first time we have stayed at the Judges' Lodgings since Thwaites have taken over and I must say the good quality of service has improved further! We stayed two nights for a 'mini-moon' after getting married. We stayed in Room 2 - the suite with a 7ft four poster bed, lounge area and views of York Minster.... More

We drank and ate there on two occasions, both times seated in an attractive front courtyard. Very pleasant. Coffee delicious and food of a high standard. Their own homemade burger was particularly nice, well presented. Our waiter Oliver, was very professional and attentive. Lots of tables out front but not enough chairs. Why the slabs of stone for stools? Too... More

This has the potential to be a really good hotel, but the new owners (Thwaite's brewery) only took over in November 2012, and there was a lot of work to do to get it up to modern standards. When we stayed there wasn't actually a functioning kitchen (!) but there should be now. The building is wonderful, with high ceilings,... More

I stayed here with my husband after a day at the races. The room was wonderful and so was the bathroom. We sat outside in the courtyard all night. Fab location and amazing room. I am certainly going to stay again. Great value for money.
