Barker Stakes Farm

Lovely Place, Peaceful & Cosy.

✓ Came over for a football tournament for the weekend 14th-16th July. Enquired if we could stay an extra night and it was no problem. It has all the necessities you need, from hairdryers, fans, toiletries, cleaning supplies for the kitchen. The kids enjoyed walking round the animals. Lovely, Peaceful & Cosy. Would highly recommend. Thanks Again.

Best place to stay in pickering

✓ Our first stay here was wonderful will stay again

✗ Nothing

Exceptional

Just perfect for a relaxed, chilled break.

✓ What an utterly delightful place Barker Stakes Farm is. From the moment I arrived and was warmly greeted by Sarah, I knew I'd made the right choice. My small one bedroomed cottage (original farm's converted cart shed) was wonderful. Clean, compact, tastefully decorated and really comfortable. Patio doors in the double bedroom and lounge/kitchen area led out to a patio with table and 2 chairs that overlooked a pristine garden area. All I could hear was the singing off birds all the time, really relaxing, and the single track 'no through road' outside the property was really quiet. The wider grounds themselves were lovely. Really spacious with a scattering of timber cabins tastefully located throughout. For toddlers, there are 3 really well maintained play areas and the alpacas, rabbits, etc will be a treat for them as well. Despite its wonderful isolation, Barker Stakes is really well located. Just 1.5 miles (walkable) from Pickering, 3 miles from Flamingo Land, 7 miles from Dalby Forest (Go Ape, Walking Trails, Mountain Bike Trails/hire, Visitor Centre) and a 30 minute drive from Whitby (for walkers, the Cleveland Way clifftop coastal path from Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay is a must!). Thanks again to Sarah for the welcome; I shall return with wife and granddaughter in tow at some point in the near future.

✗ The fact that I was only able to stay for 3 nights.

Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a quiet log cabin holiday or anyone wanting to stay near Flamingo Land.

✓ The cabin we stayed in was lovely, exceptionally clean and had any facilities you needed. It was in a lovely quiet location with animals right opposite the cabin. They cater for everyone and the staff were lovely. If we needed help, staff were always so helpful.

✗ Leaving it.
