The rooms were modern and spacious, and the surroundings of the farm were lovely. It was great for children, with parking right outside the rooms. The cooked breakfast was huge and delicious. The dining room in the conservatory was a pleasant place to eat. There were also games and DVDs available for use in the rooms. the location was ideal for visiting several English Heritage sites and there was a charming local village nearby.

The location meant traveling on unlit roads for evening meals, which was not ideal. The immediate vicinity didn't offer a great choice for vegetarians, but as long as you pre-plan, it's not a major issue.

We had a great stay here. The breakfast is gorgeous with a wide array of dishes, perfect rooms. Secluded position of the venue. Apart from that, flamingo land theme park and was 15 minutes' drive away. Comfy beds were provided.

Would recommend it and will choose it for sure next trip. Beautiful location & the food was high quality. We greatly enjoyed delicious breakfast. The host was friendly!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming farmhouse retreat! The owners, Steve and his wife, were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings of Yorkshire, from Malton to Whitby and everywhere in between. The kids absolutely loved the onsite park and getting to interact with the farm animals. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, ensuring we started each day off right. we had a lovely time and will definitely be returning next summer!

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast excellent and never rushed. Rooms clean.Parking no problem. Peaceful surroundings.

Barker Stakes Farm in Pickering is a great place for families. The property is very clean and the room we stayed in was a good size. We really loved the view of the garden from our window. The hotel's location is great, it's next to the main attractions in Pickering. We will definitely be back.

We appreciated the warm welcome and friendliness of the hosts. It really felt like home to us !

We were truly impressed with Barker Stakes and the owners. Even though we were using public transportation, Steve went out of his way to accomodate us.

Impressive staff and high room standards. Great location for countryside walks. Spacious and well-lit rooms with large towels. Generous coffee and biscuit offerings. Modern, spacious bathroom with strong shower and provided toiletries. Outdoor area with table and chairs. Huge and beautifully presented breakfast room with attractive layout. Lovely grounds and pleasant host.

The best thing about this place was the hospitality. I can honestly say this is one of the nicest, cleanest and friendliest b&b we have stayed at, oh! and the breakfasts were superb.

Really good family run business, pleasant and friendly.

I recently stayed at a lovely peaceful place surrounded by nature and tranquility. The owners were welcoming and showed me to my spacious room with all the amenities I could ask for, including a mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The grounds were stunning, with ponies, goats, alpacas, and horses to admire. The breakfast in the vast conservatory was extensive and well cooked, offering a variety of options to choose from. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway.

Although the room was generally clean, I did find some dust on the skirting boards and items left behind by previous occupants. While this was a minor inconvenience, it would have been preferable to have a more thorough cleaning after each visitor.

Very welcoming and friendly. Great modern farmhouse en-suite facilities with separate accommodation catering for a family of eight - two couples and a family of four. Small farm with animals on site was a great bonus. Not cheap, but highly recommended.

Relaxed, did sightseeing, ate, a little shopping.

We had a fantastic stay at a charming farm in the beautiful countryside. The lodge was clean, well-decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our kids had a blast playing in the farm play area and visiting the adorable farm animals. The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked to order. Despite a few minor drawbacks, we would definitely recommend this place for families with young children. we had a relaxing weekend away and would love to return in the future.
