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.

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.
