  Tuft house is a huge, beautifully decorated home which makes a great weekend getaway.

  The host gave us a lovely welcome and took the time to show us around the whole property. It is a beautiful home and tastefully decorated throughout. The rooms are a bigger than pictures make them seem and no one was short changed for the bed space as all options were comfy. We had 18 people so 2 people did have to sleep on a sofa bed instead of a massive kingsize behemoth mattress but it's ok for short stays. The surrounding area was so peaceful and we didn't have any noise complaints even late into the night. The view is amazing from the house and shops aren’t that far (15 minutes wish) if you do need to go for a shop, with smaller shops in the village. I would recommend bringing some food to get you going as it is a small village with not many options but there is a barbecue which had been cleaned for our use and it was great to use that. Mobile phone signal in the area is basically non-existent which actually turned out to be a good thing, it engaged everyone and kept people off their phones. But it is annoying if you do need to contact someone or even contact the host for questions about properties, it's rare you can can use the phone. They do live next door so it isn't too much trouble to ask for help. There is a £300 security deposit which you have to pay before arriving. This is understandable but I didn't see it displayed clearly on the original booking page which I think is misleading when trying to budget for a mini-break. Sites like Airbnb handle these issues themselves instead of us having to supply a deposit, that was my only issue with the process and it was a fantastic weekend.

  Tuft house was wonderful.

  We were greeted by Sharon as soon as we arrived and the house was already open for us. All the rooms were clean and the kitchen was well stocked with Pans and Crockery. The beds were wonderfully comfy and lots of storage space too. There were two large fridges which were very necessary with such a large group. The BBQ was very clean and ready to use. The added bonus was the extremely warm and clean hot tub which we used every day and for a long time. Paddy the groundsman came during our stay and asked if we needed it cleaning, which we really appreciated, as it was very unclean because of the use. The heating was brilliant as it was very cold at times outside and very easy to use. One slight down side to the separate accommodation to the house is that you need to walk through one of the bedrooms, it didn't matter with us as we were family. However the bathroom here and the bedrooms more than made up for this. We also loved the huge garden as we had a family football match one day and this could have been a great cricket and rounders pitch too. We also walked down into the village a couple of times and had a meal at the Worsley arms, the food was excellent. Thank you for a lovely stay, Wendy and family

  Had a fabulous week at Harford House.

  Amazing friendly.hosts met us on arrival. They went above and beyond helping organise birthday cake, balloons, and proseco on ice and even set it all up for our arrival in the spa room. Just amazing. Welcome pack was so thoughtful and really appreciated; milk, freshly baked bread, butter, fresh orange, coffee, biscuits, fudge and fresh eggs from the farm. Lovely surprise. The house was so clean, had everything you could wish for and fabulous decor ... came home with some good ideas for my own home!. Quality fixtures and fittings throughout and felt very homely. Great pet friendly garden and amazing spa room with hot tub, plenty spa towels and even had heaters for chilly nights. Location was just perfect;, local butchers, bakers, supermarket, chinese, pizza place and chip shop all on your doorstep and only 30 min ride to York, outlet shoppjng and lovely town Beverley, an hour to Pickering, Malton etc. Lovely garden centre 5 mns away to visit on a rainy day that catered for dogs and served lovely coffees. Pub across the road. So many lovely places to visit in the area. Highly recommended and we will definitely return. Xx

  We had no idea people would be shown around the surroundings whilst we were there.

  No mention of this anywhere. We where going out to use the hot tub and people where being shown the back of the house Whilst we were there. Also people looking through the windows and even waving. Totally unacceptable. No mention at all of this. Would not go back or recommend due to this. It was quite a lot through the Saturday and Sunday too. Also the kitchen equipment is basic and not enough glasses, pans, ovenwear etc. even had to ask for a cork screw. Dishwasher doesn’t work which we also weren’t told about until we go there, there was 15 of us staying so this was a problem. The water pressure on the top floor is so bad you can’t take a shower so people who stayed on that floor had to come down stairs to use the showers. This was a lot of money and we did have a lovely weekend due to family get together but not due to the house. Lovely surroundings but would not stay here again due to lack of privacy and facilities. Would not recommend

  The old Dohhouse is in a great peaceful location but so close to York and little villages that you can nip out in the car for supplies or pub lunch/dinner easily with plenty of choice.

  The house is very well maintained and spotless. We found the bed really uncomfortable and soft but that could just be us, everything else was perfect. The back garden is all paved/stoned with a small wall and gate so perfect for our little dog to wander about safely whilst we were the the fabulous hot tub (very clean and huge) . Just beyond the back garden at the gate is a large lawned area but it’s not secure but handy if your dog insists on going on grass. Also you can walk the dog up the private road and onto the single track road as there are grassy embankments too. Fine for a little wander. Garden felt very private and views were lovely over the fields. The outside spaces are maintained beautifully. If you need a washing machine or dryer just ask owner for the code as it just outside your property in the barn conversion next to you. Would definitely recommend. Great place to explore the little local area.
