? 4-star farm stay on 16 acres in North Yorkshire
The Farm & Grounds
Barker Stakes Farm is set on 16 acres along the banks of Pickering Beck, housed in an 18th-century farmhouse. The grounds include a football pitch, an orchard, and multiple animal paddocks with goats, pigs, rabbits, alpacas, horses, and a llama. A games barn offers table tennis, pool, and table football, while two separate children's playgrounds are spread across the site.
Accommodations
The farm offers 23 self-catering units ranging from glamping pods and studio lodges to one-bedroom cottages and three-bedroom lodges. Several units include a private hot tub, and all come with a kitchenette or full kitchen equipped with an air fryer, microwave, toaster, and kettle. Accommodation types include the Woodsman lodges, Parkside Lodge, Silver Waterside Lodge, and the Dairy Cottage.
Family-Friendly Features
Children have access to two playgrounds, a play barn with table tennis and pool, and the football pitch. A kids' outdoor play equipment area is located near the lodges, and farm animals are visible from many units.
