Cattlestone Farm Reviews

Just lovely

A lovely 'wild camp' feel to camping in this mown/bits left wild, field with fantastic open countryside views, starry skies and no noise. The hosts are lovely and friendly; they saved me from what could have been a miserable experience by lending me a bit of very necessary kit that was missing from my own stash! The animals on the farm and Jackson, the rescue dog, all seen and very much admired. Useful things like frozen ice packs to borrow whilst your own are in the camp freezer on site, refreezing was very welcome. It's a great set up and wish we could have stayed longer as the location is also great for exploring. Loved it - thank you! We'll be back.

Lovely setting

Rural camping with basic facilities but everything was clean and all you needed for a few nights camping. Even a freezer with ice packs. Only problem was sporadic loo paper supplies. Lovely open field some trees for shade if required, but a very lovely spot to camp with good nearby walks.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your kind review. The reason for the sporadic toilet paper supplies is that we do not supply it. We do state this so you should have known about it before booking. We are really pleased you had a nice time and do hope you will return.

Lovely location and stay

We stayed at Cattlestone Farm for a couple of nights which was lovely. The campsite was clean, spacious with clean toilets, showers and wash bay. There was even a freezer with ice blocks which you could borrow to keep food cool. This was a lovely touch. Donna is a very kind woman who checked everything was okay, walking round with her two goats, Gin & Tonic, which our 4 year old found hilarious. The only thing to mention is that no toilet roll is provided. I may have missed this in the instructions sent, but this is something to remember. Overall, a brilliant campsite and would recommend to anyone.

Great stay

Had a lovely stay on my way to Goodwood, very welcoming and friendly. Pitches are generous and flexible and the owners very accommodating. My only feedback would be to have a 'what three words' location option as the postcode takes you to another spot a mile or so down the road.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback, Matt. We do have what3words and it is on our website and our welcome letter and email that is sent out to all our guests before their stay together with the code for the gate. I did ask you on arrival if you had received it and wondered if it had perhaps gone into your spam folder. Thank you so much for staying with us and I really hope you will visit us again! Donna

Enjoyable stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at Cattlestone Farm. Donna and Alan and their team were super friendly and helpful. The facilities were beautifully clean and everything was provided, including hot water bottles as the temperature at night dropped a bit! A very comfortable and relaxing time was had, thank you!

Site's response

It was such a pleasure to have you all stay with us and thank you so much for leaving your tent and shower room so beautifully tidy. We very much hope that you will choose to stay with us again. Best wishes, Donna and Alan

All good. Well organised and friendly.

Thanks so much Matt.

Lovely clean campsite, just a little short on facilities

The campsite and owners were lovely and very helpful. The only issue we found was there wasn't enough facilities, mainly washing up sinks. There was a queue for most of the day. One sink for a whole field was simply not enough. Could also do with a few more showers and toilets. The facilities were all very clean though, and we would definitely stay again.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your feedback. There are actually two sinks, but appreciate that on a very busy bank holiday weekend that was still not enough. We have a very large double sink and drainer going out in its place and we will be halving the amount of bookings we take in the future, as we wish to give our guests the best experience we can. We very much hope you will come back and stay with us again. Donna & Alan.

Lovely campsite

Best campsite I've stayed in. Owners managed to nail the combination of cleanliness, service, peace and quiet, and location. Spotless toilets and hot showers, beautiful flat site, with fire pits and plentiful wood boxes. And the stars at night were breathtaking. We will be going back!!

Thank you so much James for your great review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and very much hope we will see you again in the future. Donna & Alan.

Lovely stay

Lots of open space to pitch our tent and for the kids to play. Owners were friendly and helpful. The animals on the farm were a great hit with the kids.

Thanks so much for staying with us and I am so pleased you had a great time. Really hope you will come back and visit us again.

Great getaway

Had a lovely stay at Cattlestone Farm. Nothing is too much trouble, even finding me a lighter for my oven. Our daily trip to say hello to the cattle was an extra special touch.

Off grid trial in new van

Donna so helpful. Beautiful site. Natural and spacious. Great outdoor hot showers. Loved it.

That's so kind of you and we are so happy you had a nice time. We really hope you will come back and visit us again. Donna & Alan

Peaceful and relaxing campsite

As a group of friends looking for somewhere to unwind and relax this was perfect! Donna was lovely and very approachable for any questions we had. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Our only issue was when we tried to go on a walk in the evening and were unable to leave the site due to the lack of pavement, but this was more to do with the area than the campsite itself. Overall, a highly worthwhile stay with good facilities.

Site's response

Thank you for your review Lauren. We do have two foot paths crossing the farm and guests are free to walk around the fields and access these. Visiting the countryside instead of a town will mean a lack of pavements. We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay though and very much hope you will visit us again.

Lovely campsite

Wonderful campsite in a great location, very friendly and helpful owners, very clean facilities. We had a really wonderful weekend and would love to come back.

Thank you so much Lisa for your lovely review. We would be delighted to have you back. Best wishes, Donna

Absolutely fabulous!

Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our first camping trip. Toilets and showers were spotless and plenty of hot water. Location was fabulous, the animals were a real treat and Donna was a fabulous host (nothing was too much trouble). Can’t wait to return!

Site's response

Oh Stacey, that's so very kind of you. Really appreciate your comments and will look forward to seeing you again. Very best wishes.

Wonderful working farm stay

We were meet by Donna and 2 goats, 'Gin & Tonic'. Donna and Husband have the site really well set up. The toilets and showers were superbly clean and plenty of hot water. They have thought of everything, even an on-site freezer with ice pack to borrow or re freezer your own. We had a fabulous time. Very peaceful.

Warm welcome at a simple farm campsite

Very simple campsite, flat and with limited facilities. Ideal for the “simple life” camping we wanted

An amazing stay

My girlfriend and I stayed at this lovely camping last week. Alan and Donna are such lovely and amazing hosts. The location is absolutely stunning and so peaceful, the sky is breathtaking at night. Every morning Jackson (Donna's dog) would come and say hello. We were provided with everything we need for an amazing stay, we would definitely recommend staying to take a break from the city and enjoy the peace and quiet the place has to offer.

Site's response

Thank you so much Axel for your review. I'm so pleased you both had a lovely time and were able to unwind and relax. Jackson will miss you and we hope to see you both again in the future. Best wishes.
