Stud Farm Reviews

Lush

Lovely, quiet, tranquil spot for back to basics but with the luxury of a slightly erratic showers. Facilities were spotlessly clean. Views amazing, you can either see sea or rolling hills. Good spot for a 30/40 mins walk cross country to Saltdean Beach. Will be back.

Thanks very much for your review. Great to hear you will be coming back :-)

Lovely stay, great views and a great location

Definitely would like to come back! Stayed for 2 nights. Very clean. Lovely host. Great fire pits to rent. Good shower and washing up facilities. The view is brilliant. Nice walk to the coast and into town if you exit left out of the site. Plenty of green spaces for dogs! Thankyou!

Many thanks for the great review, we really do appreciate it. Hope to see you back soon.

Reasonable for the price

No hot water on shower and water supply was intermittent. Also, no lights in shower area. Also, disappointed to pay £16 for fire starters when they can be bought in Newhaven for just £2. Price for stay was not too bad. Fun fire pits for hire. Great location.

Lovely location

Brilliant views all around of open countryside and the sea. Not far from the coast path or Brighton. Facilities are basic, but nice and clean, and the staff were relaxed but helpful. Would recommend for a short stay.

Easter stay at Stud Farm Camping

Just returned after a two night stay at Stud Farm camp site in Telscombe near Brighton. The site has fantastic views from its elevated position on the South Downs. As it is at the end of a road, there is no through traffic which makes it very quiet. Check-in was easy and friendly, the facilities are exactly as described and very clean. Despite the quiet location, it is just a walk down the hill to the seafront, shops and the lovely Lido at Saltdean. . It is also well positioned for walking along the South Downs. We would happily return to Stud Farm Campsite, thank you.

Beautiful location

Beautiful, quiet location on the hill with amazing views - we could only do a quick stopover this time but will definitely be back.

Thanks Jeff, be great to see you back again

Great site

It was our first trip out with our camper and the site, location and facilities made the trip a very successful one. We’ll be back.

That is great to hear, Peter. Thanks very much - Justine.

Our Stud Farm Stay

Myself & my partner stayed here for 2 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are many plots so you can spread out and don't feel on top of other campers. The toilet & shower facilities were spotless and well stocked with hand soap, toilet roll and cleaning products. Washing up area had soap and sponges for use as well. The location is beautiful, a view of the sea and the countryside makes this location a 10/10 from me. Beautiful walks all around the campsite and you can walk into the nearest town. We took a day trip into Brighton which was only 30 min drive away. All in all a brilliant location with amazing views and brilliant facilities. We would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful view and setting but take hardcore tent pegs!

The location is fantastic and the view stunning. Our first night and day was very windy, so not as tranquil as the second, but we enjoyed both and the sheep kept us entertained! The one negative thing about the site was how stony the ground was. Very difficult for us to pitch but we got there in the end. A pre-warning would have been welcome as I could have brought along some more robust tent pegs. Lesson learned - be prepared! Other than that would highly recommend and would definitely go back. Very happy campers 😊

Lovely stay

Brilliant, couldn't recommend it more.

Thanks for the review, we are really glad you enjoyed your stay :-)

Brilliant campsite!

Stud Farm is an amazing campsite perched at the top of a hill with incredible views out over the sea. It's very much back to basics, but the facilities which are there are well maintained and clean. Would highly recommend!

Site's response

Thanks for the review and recommendation. We hope to see you again :-)

Beautiful location

Stud Farm campsite is set in a beautiful location in the heart of Sussex and is ideal for a peaceful getaway. It has a wonderful blend of being far away from regular civilisation but walkable enough to the nearest town if you want regular human contact. The farm itself has stunning views, ideal for couples and dogs also. The staff were extremely welcoming and on hand at regular visits throughout the day, without being too intrusive and left you to enjoy your stay and the peaceful surroundings. Fire pits and local produce are available on request and the walk to Peacehaven is worth doing if you fancy taking in the sea. Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a peaceful and relaxing camp experience.

What a lovely review, thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back :-)

Enjoyable stay

Beautiful location. Quiet and serene. Basic facilities but that was fine as perfectly adequate. Toilet block clean. I'll definitely stay there again.

Good, will come back soon

Will be back one day.

Pretty good, but...

This place is wonderful. Beautiful views and clean loos. They have a couple areas for doing washing up and drinkable water on site. I do wish they have added a warning about the quickest route from Brighton to the farm being such a poor road. The bottom of our car is destroyed. There's no sign to say that's what's coming. There is a way to get to the farm from a kinder road, but then you're 45-50 minutes away, not 20-30 minutes, and that's not the way Googlemaps takes you. Would have been handy to add a note to guests about the winds being particularly high there and suggestions for a wind fence or something. Also, we rented a fire pit but it doesn't come with a poker or anything, which would be handy to know. Also, the walks to things are way further of a walk than we expected. That was disappointing because those things were part of the reason we chose that site. Finally, an earlier check in time would be appreciated because the day is almost gone by 14:00 then you're out by 11:00 so it's not even 24 hours, just enough time to set up, freeze your butt off, sleep, and then pack up to go. :/ The staff were lovely. Everyone was smiley and helpful.

Super site

First time camper with own tent. Great experience. Nothing fancy but still special. Very helpful campsite owners.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the site and hope it's the first of many camping trips :-)

Stunning views at Stud Farm

Stunning views, quiet, basic and lovely site. Facilities clean and working showers (although flow and temp not what expected). Shower gel provided. 1 shower didn't lock.

Site's response

Thanks for your review. We do try to manage expectations around the showers with pre-arrival information and signage. The broken lock is now fixed :-)

Luverly juberly camp site

Toilets were nicer than my house.

Site's response

Thanks for your review and the compliments on our toilets!

Stunning views

We stayed one night at this campsite to trial our new little 4 man tent. It seemed fairly busy, but not cramped, and all the pitches are marked out with plenty of space between neighbours. The view out to sea and across fields is truly beautiful. I was impressed with the toilet facilities, kept very clean and well stocked. We didn't use the showers. Lovely lady greeted us on arrival in a Jeep and brought us our hired fire pit. The only down side to having the stunning hilltop views is the wind. Our tent flapped around a lot in the night which kept me awake but I realised that may be a problem I was willing to risk it for. Bring ear plugs.

Lovely campsite but no warm water

Great campsite - no warm water!

Site's response

Thanks for the review, we are glad you enjoyed the campsite. We are doing our best to solve the intermittent shower water temperature problems.

Our second visit

It is our second visit to the site and we hope to come back again next year.

Site's response

Thanks for the review, we look forward to having you back next year :-)

Superb campsite

Just superb, wonderful location and great campsite. On the downside, just needs more facilities as only two toilets. However, will not stop me recommending and returning.

Mid June stay

Fantastic location, very clean facilities and will visit again, especially on a weekday.

Site's response

Thanks very much for your review. We look forward to having you back :-)

Good stay

Lovely, quiet site. Owner was very attentive, even lending us some camping chairs because we had forgotten ours...really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Site's response

Thanks for the positive review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and the chairs were useful! We hope to welcome you back again :-)

Fantastic spot!

This is a lovely spot and the reception was very friendly. The toilets were spotless. However, we were disappointed not to find the Farm shop open and available. Apparently it needs 48 hours notice.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed the site. Sorry you were disappointed that there was no shop. I did double check the website and it does state that this is the case. We do also send pre-arrival details for food orders which give warning of the 48 hours notice. We hope you can make it back and have the chance to try some of the lovely home produce we offer :-)
