Just back from our 4th stay at Barker Stakes Farm. The lodges are clean and spacious and have everything you need. Very good location especially for Visiting North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The Farm has a great childrens play area and a few animals that my children loved. Thanks for a great stay.

Wonderful place to stay especially with kids. We had a great, relaxing weekend at the farm. There’s lots for everyone to do. We especially loved visiting the animals and taking advantage of the big football field. The hot tub was definitely a highlight of our stay. The place could be a little cleaner and furniture upgraded as we spotted some cobwebs in the lodge, marks on the wall and rips in sofa etc but it’s a farm and good value for money. We weren’t bothered about it at all but if you need your place to be squeaky clean and modern then it might not be for you. It is in a good location for local walks and trips to the east coast. We had a great time and will definitely return.

Everything you could possibly need. The list is endless. Perfect for families with young children.  Having the hot tub was just great. The view of the lake was amazing. Can't wait to return

Fantastic Birthday stay ☺The layout of the lodges is excellent, so noone was over looked. The location was peaceful and a close drive to villages such as Pickering and Thornton le dale, and flamingo land. The animals all looked well looked after, happy and friendly. Despite their closeness there was non of the normal farm smell. The hot tub was great after a day's walking and the play barn actives were an added bonus. The owners were very approachable and accommodating. This was a great stay for my son's 7th birthday! We will definitely book again ☹N/a
