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

An excellent place to stay and only a twenty minute walk from centre of York. The property was very clean and tidy and we would certainly recommend it.

Was really pleased and very happy with our stay at the corner house. We were in York for a conference and found everything we needed. Clean,tidy and with excellent facilities within a 25 minutes walk to the centre. Communication with the host was quick, easy instructions and everything you need.

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.

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.

A great townhouse with plenty of space. The dining kitchen has all you need, three good size bedrooms in a quiet location and only 10-15 mins walk to the town centre.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

A lovely well furnished house, perfect for a family weekend break in York. It was easily accessible by foot along the river and by bus front he train station. Fabulous

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.

Corner House York experience
Tasteful decor, personal welcome from owner, who was unfazed by my late arrival due to lack of info at Leeds bus station. River walk and kitchen exceeded my expectations.

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.

York visit
Great location and very well equipped. Parking was a problem and I had not realized the kitchen was in the basement. I may have missed that information but it came as a surprise and could have been a problem. Everything else was good

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.

We’ve been renting houses in York for about ten years as a base to go racing for four days as we live around three hours away. This was the nicest and definitely the cleanest house we’ve ever stayed in. The communication with the host was also the best we’ve ever experienced.
The little touches were also way above and beyond the normal.
Five stars from the time we booked until the time we sadly had to leave, HEAVEN!

Corner house was exactly as described roomy enough for all of us and with everything you might need already in place including much needed fans in all the rooms as we were experiencing a heatwave during our week there. The position of Cornerhouse was excellent, a few minutes walk got you to shops one way or the river the other way. We walked into the centre along the lovely river walk everyday which took about 20 mins.
We had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Thanks Jo
