The conscientious choice

Fairfax Corner is a Victorian home, which has been adapted to be eco-friendly, and is located in the heart of the historic city of York. The property is heated by an air source pump and has a variety of eco-friendly solutions – which are always being improved upon to ensure its status as ‘eco-friendly’.

These adaptions have been made as part of a long-held ambition to make a positive contribution to community life in Bishophill by establishing the beginnings of what will hopefully become a ‘green hub’. The community cafe, Refill Kitchen, now operates from the front of the building, and has a considerable impact on the community.

What our guests say

Fairfax Eco House provided the best stay I’ve had in York, and we’ll definitely book it again! The location is as convenient as beautiful, stocked with everything you could wish for. Thank you for a wonderful city break!
We had a great stay. The house has everything you need and the location is wonderful. The house felt nice and warm, there were books and plenty of comfy chairs. You are near the shops, the station, the city centre, anything is within 10 minutes' walking distance. And you get a view of the city walls on top of that.
“Fabulous location for visiting the city, everything is in walking distance. Having parking is a real bonus. Admire the attempt to create an eco-friendly house, which is on-going. The idea of a Community Fridge in the cafe is a great idea. Sadly it wasn't open during our stay so we were not able to see it in action.”
“If you’re looking for a modern, ultra-sleek property, then this place probably isn’t for you. But if you want to stay in a home with character and charm, that doesn’t cost the earth (in more ways than one), then you’d be hard pressed to find better. Wonderful location, excellent communication and table tennis in the basement. What more could you want!”
