About this property

The House at Crooked End - Boutique property in central York sleeps 8

Crooked End offers space & superb modern comfort in a sympathetically restored & stylish Victorian terrace in the heart of the fashionable Bishopthorpe Road district within easy walking reach of all of York's history, culture, eating and shopping. The property, built in the 1880s has been renovated to a high standard with stripped Victorian floors & period features throughout. This is combined with high end matching contemporary furnishings to offer a wonderful home from home in the city.

Crooked End is located less than a minute's walk from the fashionable Bishopthorpe Road, rated 9th by the Times Newspaper as the trendiest places to live in the UK (2013). The parade of artisan shops, bars, and restaurants won the prestigious national title Great British High Street of the Year (2015).

Bishopthorpe Road lies just to the South of the city centre and is bordered by the ancient City Walls. A short riverside walk takes you into the heart of the city. Nearby is the beautiful Rowntree Park offering stunning lakeside walks and an extensive array of play equipment for children of all ages, including some facilities for children with disabilities.

When you want well located holiday accommodation the trade-off is space and cost, but with Crooked End, you can have it all, space to live and spread out combined with a great location and offered at great value prices for families and small groups.

For those with a little less mobility, you order a cab for the short ride into the city centre.

If you plan to arrive with bicycles we provide secure storage and a dedicated rear entrance. Long stay parking (daily charge) and electric vehicle charging points are available at Nunnery Lane car park, a short walk from the property.

Christmas stay in York
The house was great - perfect location for a walk on the city wall or a short walk over the bridge into the city. The kids loved the house and the games cupboard, and it was a perfect size for our party of 7. The host John was great - on Christmas eve the batteries in the thermostat remote went and he came within an hour to fix it. I would definitely stay here again and thanks for being a great host John!

Brilliant time at house at crooked end
I was staying at the house at crooked end with my mum and sister for the weekend. We had a day at the races and a day exploring centre of York and the house was perfectly situated for both. The house is full of character and extremely comfortable. We were lucky that we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden as well. There are loads of lovely cafes/bars nearby and the bakery across the road is perfect for some morning pastries. Would definitely stay again if ever visiting York again.

The House at Crooked End
Beautiful period property. The host has thought of everything and the house is well supplied with everything you might need. Walking distance to city centre. Property on a one way road and parking is about 50 m away. Ideal self catering property.
