Tuft house was so comfortable and was fabulous for a big mixed group of 18 for my hen do! The setting is completely stunning and we all felt we had the most wonderful break despite being shattered from hen-based activities. The house was so homely, clean and well stocked. Thankyou for having us x

The hot tub was a really hit with everyone and the children absolutely loved being able to cycle up and down the long driveway! Kitchen had everything you needed to be able to cool for a large party and we also enjoyed all being able to sit together in the evening in the living room! We ticked off visits to Castle Howard, Stockeld Park, Flamingo Land and a lovely day trip into York. We would definitely recommend a stay at Tuft house, the family were really lovely hosts and will definitely be back again one day!

The house was very comfortable for a large family the rooms allowed for you to have your own space the kitchen was well equiped and the garden was large and gated allowing children to play outside safe. The road up to the property is a little narrow and bumpy the a floor plan would be helpful in knowing what the bedrooms would be best for parts of the family I would be happy to go back to tuft house.
