  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

  Just arrived back from a lovely week at the lodge.

  Kay the host is very welcoming & on hand if needed. Gorgeous welcome treats from Terrington tea rooms, try the sweet chilli sausage rolls. The lodge is in a perfect location for visiting lots of neighbouring towns, York, the coast, Malton etc. Castle Howard is beautiful and a short drive away. There are several local pubs, Crown and Cushion was a good find with a pizza place opposite. The Lodge was very clean, beautiful views & animals, a lovely swing seat and of course the hot tub which was perfect to relax in at the end of the day. All looked very pretty with the fairy lights at night and is a good place to view stars weather permitting. The only feedback really would be there was no Internet/WiFi and I had zero signal so couldn't research things. Although it did give me a break from my phone

  Tuft House was the perfect venue for our multi generational holiday to celebrate our Golden Wedding.

  The house is very well equipped for this type of holiday. There is so much space that everyone could find somewhere quiet when they needed some ‘time out’. The annexe is a wonderful bonus too. Everyone loved the jacuzzi and the front lawn was the perfect area for the children’s games. The owner was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. The children were really sad when it was time to leave as they’d had so much freedom and such a wonderful time with each other. Another bonus is the village bakery, who had our order for croissants and pastries ready for us to collect each morning when out for a run or bike ride. We would all like to return to Tuft House in the future. Thank You.

  The property was located in a remote location in the country side which was exactly what we were looking for.

  You did not have to worry about other people. Owner was quick to respond, friendly and very welcoming. Felt very safe whilst here. I think it is a perfect getaway for couples. Unfortunately it wasn’t as warm as I would’ve liked it to be, but then again we travelled 4 hours from down south so I put it down to acclimatisation. We also did a lot of cooking and the cooking supplies was absolutely sufficient for cooking anything. The hot tub definitely made this stay worthwhile! I recommend everyone to bring their own wet slippers! Thank you for providing us such a delightful and pleasant stay. Sulabh & Jade
