About Us

We all need an escape where we can truly switch off. TOFY (which stands for Thinking of You and The Old Forge York) has been created by former mental health nurse, Karen, who is passionate about nourishing and restoring peoples' well-being. Karen has used her mental health knowledge, to create unique spaces, deliver you the most delicious local tastes and experiences, giving you the opportunity to play, giggle, get creative & restore yourself back to being you again. By giving you nurturing stays, tastes and experiences- all delivered on-site;  you have the freedom to slow down & relax. 

We absolutely adore dogs! Welcoming two in each cottage with bottomless clean dog towels, blankets for snuggles, treats, bowls for water & food. 

We are for special occasions and making memories. A place for you to reconnect with loved ones, for when you need a break from adulting, for children who love messy outdoor play & the solo traveller who want to reset on their own.
