Self-catering farm holiday park on 16 acres in North Yorkshire
Amenities & Facilities
The 16-acre site includes two children's playgrounds, a football pitch, and a games barn with table tennis and pool. A fishing lake on the grounds offers guests a chance to fish from the banks of Pickering Beck. Multiple lodges come with private hot tubs cleaned daily by the owners, and the outdoor furniture and accessible parking add convenience.
Lodgings & Cottages
Guests can choose from lodges like the Waterside Bronze, Woodsman 3, or the Paddock Lodge, each with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The Dairy Cottage and The Cart House offer one-bedroom self-catering units with hot tubs, while the new glamping pods include bunk beds for children. Every accommodation has a private bathroom, linens, towels, and either a kitchenette or full kitchen with appliances such as an air fryer and microwave.

The farm is 1.5 miles from the market town of Pickering, with a Lidl supermarket a 5-minute drive away. Flamingo Land, Castle Howard, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway are all within a 10-minute drive.

Family & Children
Children can help feed the farm's goats, pigs, alpacas, rabbits, and guinea pigs, with the owners offering feeding sessions upon request. Two play parks and an indoor barn with table football and pool keep kids entertained in all weather. A football pitch and space to run around the pond give families room to play together.

Pets are accepted in all lodges except the 3-person lodge and the cottages, including The Dairy and The Cart House. Many lodges have a fenced garden area, allowing dogs to roam safely while owners use the hot tub. The farm's location on 16 acres offers direct access to walks along Pickering Beck.
