New Website for Judges Country House Hotel

A Teesside digital marketing agency has launched a new website for Judges Country House Hotel to improve visitors’ experience and access to information about the AA Four Red Star Country House Hotel which also has Three AA rosettes.

Designed and built by Middlesbrough-based Surge Marketing Solutions, the new website – www.judgeshotel.co.uk – features more images than before, has improved payment and booking facilities and works across all platforms and devices.

Rated as one of the best hotels and restaurants in the UK and Ireland, Judges, which is located just outside Yarm in North Yorkshire, boasts 21 guestrooms, a gourmet restaurant, private dining rooms, gym and beauty clinic, and is set in its own 22 acres of immaculate gardens. A new casual dining menu will be introduced in January 2016.

Consistently rated by “The Good Hotel Guide” and praised by both “The Times”, “The Sunday Times” and “The Telegraph” newspapers, Judges is also particularly recommended by the Michelin Guide 2016.

“As our window to the world, our website is of the utmost importance to Judges. It needs to work well across all media, especially on handheld devices, and to be as easy as possible to navigate. As in all aspects of the way we operate our hotel, attention to detail is also paramount,” explains Tim Howard, Judges’ General Manager.

Mr Howard chose Surge Marketing Solutions to build the country house hotel’s new website following a competitive pitch with four other web design and on-line marketing agencies.

He says: “Surge displayed a clear understanding of the brief. They listened to me, absorbed information and provided helpful suggestions to improve the finished product. They responded promptly and kept going with the design until I was satisfied. We have built a strong working relationship, improved by the fact that they were the only local supplier we considered.”

David Porter, Director of Surge Marketing Solutions, says: “Judges has long been an iconic hotel and restaurant destination, very well known throughout Teesside and North Yorkshire, so I was delighted that Surge was given the chance to build Judges’ new website, and even more delighted by the very positive feedback from Tim.

“As specialists in web design and online marketing we strive to improve the internet presence of all our clients, and I believe this is what we have achieved for Judges.”
