About this property

Settled in the leafy village of Haxby, just on the outskirts of the historic city of York, rests this quaint single-storey holiday home, Cornerways, 8 North Lane. Enjoying easy access to a wealth of must-see sights and attractions and benefiting from convenient ground-floor living, Cornerways, makes a wonderful base for a romantic retreat to Yorkshire. Park up in the designated space provided before unloading your belongings and making your way inside your new home-from-home, kicking off your shoes and putting your feet up with a sumptuous spot in front of the television as you settle in. The well-equipped galley-style kitchen is sure to entice any budding chef to rustle up tasty treats during your stay, and the intimate dining table for two provides a lovely set-ting to indulge in a romantic meal, where the crackle of the electric fire adds to the ambiance. Make the most of your peaceful, countryside setting and venture outdoors to soak in the last of the evening sunshine with your favourite tipple in hand. As the day draws to night, prepare for bed with a relaxing shower in the spacious walk-in shower cubicle, where handy grab rails help those with limited mobility, before snuggling up under the covers of the double bed with your better half. Take advantage of your central location in the heart of Haxby, where you'll find a delightful collection of local amenities resting right on your doorstep; add a touch of luxury to your stay with a spot of cream tea at Tealicious Vintage Tea Room, unwind following a day of adventure with a crisp pint in hand at The Tiger Inn, or head to the local supermarket to stock up on goodies to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home. Adventure awaits in the historic city of York, where you can tour the life-like Viking village at JORVIK Viking Centre, discover the inspiration behind Harry Potter's Diagon Alley at York Shambles, a winding street lined with picture-perfect timber-framed buildings, or immerse yourself in harrowing history with an afternoon at York Dungeons. Those looking for a more leisurely experience may prefer to visit the rolling landscape of the Howardian Hills AONB, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whisk your better half away on an unforgettable retreat to Yorkshire with a stay at Cornerways.

    Nice place to stay for visiting York. The only thing to note was that the outside light didn't work so made it not feel as safe when returning or leaving at night whilst locking or unlocking the front door. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay

  • Frank

    Lovely location.The only thing we felt should have been told to us was that there was building work going on next door.Saying that we would come again once that was completed.Thank you to the owners for a lovely home.
