Meet Jan & Duncan – Your Hosts at Rawcliffe House Farm Studios ***** Welcome to Rawcliffe House Farm! We’re Jan and Duncan, and this has been our family home for over twenty years. During that time, we’ve loved raising our children here, welcoming guests, and sharing the peace, beauty, and wildlife of our countryside. ***** Our guests often tell us how much they enjoy starting walks straight from the doorstep, cycling through the meadows and woodland, and spotting wildlife along the way. The tranquil surroundings and dark skies make it the perfect place to unwind, stargaze, and escape the bustle of everyday life. ***** We love this area and all it has to offer — from the charming market town of Pickering, just 10 minutes away, to the dramatic coastline at Whitby. Yet, back at the studios, you’ll find a quiet retreat where you can truly relax, recharge, and feel at home. ***** Living on-site means we’re always here to help you make the most of your stay — whether it’s sharing local tips, pointing out the best walking or cycling routes, or simply making sure your visit is comfortable and stress-free. ***** Many guests find that two nights fly by, but a longer stay of three or four nights allows you to fully enjoy the countryside, explore nearby attractions at a relaxed pace, and really soak up the charm of Rawcliffe House Farm. ***** We look forward to welcoming you and helping you create memorable moments in North Yorkshire.

Rawcliffe House Farm Studios is nestled in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, surrounded by 42 acres of meadows, woodland, and rolling countryside. From the moment you step outside, you can enjoy peaceful walks, cycling, and wildlife spotting in an unspoiled, tranquil setting. The fields and woodlands are alive with birdsong, and guests love watching the changing light across the moors throughout the day. ***** Our grounds are full of life, with free-roaming hens and Muscovy ducks, along with wild mallards and other birds visiting the pond. Relax in the guest garden, where you’ll find a brick-built BBQ, picnic benches, and a contemplative wildflower labyrinth with a bench to relax — perfect for quiet reflection or simply soaking up the serenity. For stunning views, take a stroll to the viewing platform overlooking the moors, a favourite spot for photography or peaceful contemplation. ***** About 10 minutes from Pickering, you’ll find charming shops, cafés, pubs, and the famous North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a scenic steam train journey through the countryside. The historic seaside town of Whitby is 17 miles away, with its harbour, Abbey, fresh seafood, and coastal walks. ***** Whether you spend your days immersed in nature, exploring nearby towns, enjoying the garden and labyrinth, or cooking on the BBQ, the neighbourhood offers a perfect balance of tranquility and discovery. We recommend a stay of three or four nights to fully unwind, explore, and soak up the magic of the North York Moors.
