Local Area
York is one of the best city break destinations in England. But don’t just take our word for it, York is constantly in the UK top 20 Cities to visit and in Lonely Planet’s 2014 Best list, Yorkshire was described as the best place in Europe and third best in the world to visit.

The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD, with its ancient walls and Minster the city has been the north’s spiritual capital for 2000 years. Cornerhouse is ideally placed to sample this ancient City. Everywhere in York is easily reachable by foot and with a short riverside walk to the City's castle, visitors to Corner House can enjoy hundreds of attractions, museums, historic buildings, tours, shops, restaurants and bars.

When visiting Corner house the whole of Yorkshire is on the doorstep with excellent transport links, including the 10 min interval Park and Ride bus stop on the main road at the end of the street. Visitors can easily get to the station, City centre or alternatively head out to the City's Designer Outlet, a must visit fashion and shopping destination, home to 120 designer brands all at up to 60% less.

Cornerhouse visitors who wish to explore the City's extensive cycle network can store their bikes in the secure bike shed or hire them a few minutes walk away.

Arriving at Cornerhouse could not be easier; by car there is no need to drive into the city centre situated as it is just off the A19, Fulford Road. The property has a parking permit for free on street parking for 1 car.

For those vistors who have travelled to York from further a field by train and wish to explore the Yorkshire Countryside or Coast, daily car hire is also available just adjacent to the Park and Ride bus stop and bookable in advance over the internet.

Cornerhouse is a 2 minute walk away from a Sainsbury's supermarket so shopping for those last minute items could not be easier, alternatively as well as all the City Centre restaurants there are three high quality delicatessens within a 5 minute walk of the house.

Rounding off the perfect location, for those looking to complete a days sightseeing with a drink in a traditional Pub then the Wellington Inn or the Fulford Arms are both again within a 5 minute walk from the Corner House.

Bookings are available for a minimum of 3 nights

Great Stay at the Cornerhouse
We stayed for a long weekend to catch up with our kids who are both students at university. Nice little welcome pack of tea / coffee and biscuits were gratefully received for that all important cup of tea on arrival. Great place to stay in a great location close to the city with a very well equipped and spacious kitchen in the basement area. Three toilets meant that there were never any queues There is even a selection of board games and DVD's to keep you entertained. Lovely comfy beds in all the rooms and comfortable seating in the lounge, all made for a very enjoyable stay at the Cornerhouse.

Just right!
We visited York for our son's graduation and made a weekend of it. Very comfortable accommodation for six adults at Cornerhouse. Good sized living areas and bedrooms, so it never felt overcrowded. All the amenities that you're likely to need. Great location - a really enjoyable walk along the river to the city centre (even in the July rain) or across the Millennium Bridge to Rowntree Park, which is well worth a visit. It's also a very nice walk up to the campus through Low Moor Allotments and Walmgate Stray. The check-in process was totally fuss-free and Jo is a great host. Highly recommended.

This was our second stay at The Corner House. Jo is very responsive in communicating. The house was immaculate, very comfortable and well stocked. Just a short walk along the river to the town center or even shorter walk to the bus stop. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Great trip to the fab city of York
We we're 6 adults (3 couples) and were very comfortable here. Great kitchen for catching up with family or friends. York is a brilliant city to visit, great pubs, cafes, restaurants (recommend Yemen Heaven), gigs, history and architecture. Can't go wrong here and Corner House is great base for the adventure.

A delightful Home and so convenient!
Easy parking, then forget car and take pleasurable walk into city centre via the river pathway … stress free! The property is extremely well presented and meets all you needs as a family. The owner is quick to communicate and happy to oblige in any information prior to your visit. We’ve used this property twice in 2022 and I hope that we can return in the near future.

Lovely stay at Cornerhouse this weekend for my partners 30th birthday - everyone who stayed couldn’t recommend it enough! The location was nice and quiet but within walking distance of the city centre, which was ideal for us. The house itself was very spacious and perfect for the 6 of us who stayed. We were also very impressed with how well equipped the house was, even down to the little touches. Jo was also very helpful and accommodating from start to finish, and was always willing to answer any questions we had. We would recommend Cornerhouse to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in York!

Wonderful accommodation and excellent communication from Jo who was extremely helpful. The house is in an excellent location with easy parking and I can’t think of anything that wasn’t available in the accommodation to make any stay perfect. If we visit York again I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else and would recommend to friends.

Stylish and Well Located York Townhouse
Second time we have stayed in this property. This time for 3 nights. Pleased to find all rooms and common areas clean and well maintained. The kitchen and bathrooms all modern and easy to use. A pleasant 15 min walk into York along the river and Aldi and Sainsbury local just a few mins walk from the house. The owner communicates promptly and Well. We would definitely stay at the Cornerhouse again.

Awesome place and location
We really enjoyed our stay at Cornerhouse. From the pub around the corner, to the sandwich shops practically next door, to the close by grocery stores, the river walks to downtown (like 20 minutes), bus access, etc. etc. It was a perfect location. The house came with all of the amenities and was a perfect home base!

Lovely, comfortable and well equipped house
Four adults of my family stayed here over Christmas while visiting my daughter and it certainly did not disappoint. There were thoughtful touches all around the house, from the Christmas decorations in the lounge and kitchen and the tea/coffee (inlcuding a really good supply of Nespresso pods!), fresh milk and Betty's cookies waiting for us when we arrived to the supplies of dishwasher/ washing machine tablets and ample toilet rolls! There were plenty towels and tea towels. Everything seemed to be aimed at ensuring a comfortable and stress free stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the en-suite, although small, had a really good sized shower. There was a good supply of games/puzzles/ books for all ages along with a good internet connection and a really nice TV in the lounge with Netflix. Parking was really easy in the quiet street outside and there was no trouble parking for guests either. When my older daughter and her Dad with his family visited on boxing day we even discovered the kitchen table extended to seat everyone for a board game. We wandered into the centre of York on boxing day - an easy 20 minute walk and we were in the Shambles. Overall a really lovely stay - A big thank you to the owners for their care and attention to detail with this property.

An excellent base for visiting York.
We found the The Cornerhouse to be comfortable and well-equipped, as described. It is a pleasure to stay in accommodation that is properly overseen and well-managed by attentive owners. The out-building was very useful for storing our pushchair and we particularly appreciated the well:equipped kitchen, the quality beds and the comfortable sitting room furniture. An excellent base for a trip to York.

Visited York for the races
Property was as expected after viewing photos and reading information. Easy to walk into the city and a short taxi ride £9.00 to the races. Uber taxi back from town after a night out was £4.50. Everything great about the cornerhouse except abit of a funky smell in the downstairs toilet (but I think that's because it's in the basement) and we arrived at night so was dark and a struggle to see the keypad and the keyhole without a torch! Plenty of pubs, food outlets and supermarkets very close by, loved exploring the area and the people of York are so very friendly, we were welcomed with open arms. Definitely will visit the city again.
