We had a hot few days and the house was uncomfortably hot wit only two fans in the house. The windows were also very difficult to open to let the breeze in. The house did initially smell a little musty but soon cleared up. Parking availability was very good. Lovely kitchen with modern equipment.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your feedback and I do appreciate that you stayed during the hottest week in May on record. Unfortunately like most properties in the UK air conditioning is not a viable option and I do understand that sash windows can be difficult to open. I hope that despite the hot weather you enjoyed your stay in York. Jo

Corner House is well worth a stay

Excellent home-from-home property. Very well equipped and comfortable. Really convenient for both University (we were there for a graduation) and for the city centre - we recommend using the riverside walk that takes you straight to Clifford’s Tower and Th Castle Museum.

An excellent location

We loved this property. It was a great place for a family and had a lovely selection of games and activities. The location was excellent, you could walk into the centre of York in 15 minutes. Very good local shops and cafes too. A really well kept house with everything we needed.

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.

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.

Immaculate and great location

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.

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.

Lovely accommodations with great location

Jo was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive to any questions. Corner House had everything we needed for our two week stay. The accommodations were lovely, immaculate and very comfortable. You couldn't ask for a better location, which was important since we didn't have a car. Only a short stroll along the river to the town center, or a block to the bus stop to travel farther afield. If we return to York we'll definitely be returning to Corner House.

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.

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

I am sorry that you had a problem parking as this is not the usual experience of my guests and visitors. Cornerhouse sits in a quiet residential area and there is free on street parking in all the surrounding streets and although it may be busier at times being only a pleasant riverside walk into the city I have always been able to find space.

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.

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.
