The Judge’s Lodging Inn York Review: February 2020
Think relaxed luxury, charm and elegance, the Judge’s Lodging located in an enviable postcode in the centre of York, in north-east England, perfectly situated in the main hub for easy access to all the city’s main attractions.
A gorgeous Grade I listed building, a Georgian townhouse steeped in charm and history, whereby the building’s origins date back to 1710 when it was built as a private residence.
Eventually, after the passing of the owner, the building became the residence of judges attending the Assize court sessions and remained so until around 1976.
The Judges adorn the walls and at Christmas things are rather grand with the addition of a gorgeously decorated Christmas tree.
This stunning residence has a restaurant, two bars, along with some quirky fixtures and fittings providing some super special character rooms.
Feature rooms at the Judge’s Lodging always have that extra character and detail.
The Clifton
The Clifton was a super sensational cosy classy room rich in detail and historic charm. Décor a mix of subtle neutral shades, quality furnishings and fine fabrics.
Immediately, walking into a lovely lounge, well appointed, with some super scrummy shortbread, water, tea, coffee and also fresh milk.
The beautiful bedroom, the perfect place to rest your head after a busy day and evening in York city.

Look at that precious rotary phone lol Haven’t seen one in a long while. I love the jets in the bath and the large, modern shower plus that four-poster bed. Very unique and historic hotel interior.
