Accommodation & Grounds
Barker Stakes Farm is an 18th century farmhouse set on 16 acres along the banks of Pickering Beck, offering self-catering lodges, cottages, and glamping pods. The property is family-run by owners Steve and Sarah, who live on site and personally greet guests. All accommodation includes private bathrooms, heating, and outdoor furniture, with many units featuring hot tubs.
Family & Children Facilities
The farm has two children's play parks with outdoor play equipment, a full-size football pitch, and a games barn stocked with table tennis and pool tables. Guests can feed farm animals such as goats, pigs, alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses under the owners' supervision. A separate pond and the Beck provide opportunities for exploring nature, while the site also offers free WiFi throughout.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are accepted in all lodges except the 3-person lodge and the cottages, where no pets are allowed.
