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.

Very well equipped and great location
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Excellent. Two adults plus one adult son. One bedroom each. Extremely comfortable, extremely clean, very quiet and great sound insulation. Staircases are quite steep so I wouldn't recommend if you don't want to get a little bit of a workout. Wouldn't recommend for someone with a mobility issue. Kitchen in the basement was cooler than the rest of the house in the hot weather which was fantastic however there aren't any windows in the kitchen which made it feel less connected to the rest of the house or outside but that wasn't really a problem. Only my husband was able to open the window in the sitting room as it was quite difficult and heavy so I can imagine unless you were fairly strong that you wouldn't be able to open a window in the sitting room and that would make it hot but there was a fan so that helped a lot. It was marvelous to have a whole separate space for one or more of us to go and spend time in if the other people wanted to do something different in the living room eg watch different TV shows. The fans were absolutely marvelous in the bedrooms. We had temperatures of around 30 when we were first there. We had a brilliant time walking into York on numerous occasions we also went to the dreamery, we went to the railway museum, we went to yorvic, we went to the castle museum and we went to the beach at bridlington and had a fantastic very chilled time. Thanks so much! We would consider ourselves very lucky to stay here again.

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
