This working farm campsite offers beautiful countryside views and a peaceful escape. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, Sue and Kevin, and the availability of fresh farm produce. Facilities are generally considered clean and adequate, with many enjoying the campfire options. However, some visitors noted issues with the cleanliness of bell tents upon arrival, the condition of some equipment, and limited toilet/shower facilities during busy periods. The access road is also described as bumpy.

not friendly staff
Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked pattacott farm is nightmare for us, we book in this place to enjoy and to relax but they treated as like an animal, the owner came to us middle of the night when everyone is sleeping with my kids shouting at us and said pack our things and leave the farm. which is unprofessional way. we didn’t finish our booking we have to leave early morning and we ask for refund for 1 night that we didn’t use it and shes not responding.

Friendly Hosts and lovely quiet area
Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked the hosts were fantastic, very friendly and helped you with what ever you needed, all the campers were super friendly especially our neighbours, all the animals (2 horses and the cows), were lovely to see, the toilets and showers were very clean as well as the site, lovely and quiet area, views were amazing, lovely to see bats at night, oh and dont forget WALTER their lovely dog.
a few different beaches 15 to 30 minutes away, shops and supermarkets 25 minutes drive, bbq allowed and fire pits
Disliked The road coming in is terrible some big pot holes and coble stones dont drive faster than 5mph and your be ok, not the camp sites fault.
couple more toilets might be needed.

Perfect for stargazing.
Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked It's so remote and away from anything it makes it perfect site for star gazing.
I liked the cows and horses on site.
Toilets were clean, showers not so much, full of sand.
Shower pressure was good and water was warm.
It was good value for money. They didn't offer much and we didn't pay much. Simple, easy, plain. Basic. It was good. Good view.
Disliked Toilet and shower block was build on the slope. You're having a wee and you feel like you slidimg down the toilet.
Showers are very very cramped, I had to open the door to comfortably dry and dress. Nowhere to put your toiletries when having a shower apart from the floor.

Great quiet site,
Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked We have recently just returned from a trip to Pattacott Farm and what a lovely little gem this place is. The owners are very relaxed and happy to assist where needed. Toilets are kept very clean and well lit at night, there are 4 showers and plenty of hot water and pressure! There are also 2 compost toilets at the bottom field which you will need a torch for, but these are clean and no smells. Lovely views and waking up to the cows in front of you which was nice.
Disliked Driveway is very bumpy and more hookup points needed.

Really friendly site , quiet , rural , pleasant
Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked Family of 7 , 4 adults 3 children,
Beautiful views across farming fields , lovely herd of young cattle in the field ajoining our pitch , in another joining field was Freddy & Rose bud the most adorable friendly ponies which the grandchildren love , Sue & Kev was always on hand to help , it wasn’t to much trouble for Kev to stand and talk to the kids about farming and the animals. Night skies was extremely beautiful (no light pollution) toilets and showers always kept clean with lots of hot water what ever time you went in . If you’re looking for a quiet site then this is for you . Thank you Sue & Kev .

Toaster, small radiator .Lovely rural site . Basic site but with very good facilities . Clean showers and toilets . Friendly owners . Short drive to Crackington beach .
Disliked Nothing

From the manager: So happy that you and your dear daughter enjoyed your stay . It was a pleasure to host you and we hope that you can come again .
A lovely week
Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked We really enjoyed our week’s stay at this peaceful, rural campsite. It’s basic but has everything you need. The shower block is clean and tidy and the grass is kept short. Sue and Kev checked in and helped us with freezing our ice blocks and lending us a couple of utensils we’d forgot. They were helpful without being encroaching.
It’s a working farm so you are going to hear some noises throughout the day and night. We got used to the little rooster and the mooing pretty quickly.
I think it’s fair to mention there are no ponies here now but our daughter was ok with that as she’d made a friend and was having a nice time. She also really enjoyed seeing Walter the golden retriever around the campsite. He was very friendly, fluffy and liked a good pet.
Our only feedback would be that a freezer would be useful to freeze your ice blocks (save pestering Sue and Kev).
We would definitely return, it’s been a lovely week. Thank you.

Majority of equipment was very old and could do with replacing.
Bell tent
Liked Moved us to a better tent after highlighting not happy with first bell tents due to poor cleanliness when arrived.
Owner did call afterwards and tried to explain (1hr later).
Some views were great
Disliked Bell tent had doors left open where many insects entered (earwigs/spiders/flys) when we arrived, tent had mould on canopy as well as old dirty tissues inside, our daughter didn’t want to stay and felt uncomfortable as did us.
After calling owners we were informed that there was music lessons occurring where students seemed to be more important, therefore significant delay in swapping tents. We understand that other things do occur however if you are running a business then I would expect paying customers would take a priority which didn’t occur on this occasion.
Small ovens provided in horse box very old which we didn’t touch. Toilets not level
Partial views of old rusty sheds on a working farm.
We stayed at a different location on way down that was significantly cheaper and much better equipped in Padstow than this location here.
Overall disappointing!

From the manager: The day before this review we got a 10/ 10 for the same tent and accommodation . ?
The tent had been hoovered and the ground sheet washed . All rugs get taken out and cleaned too .
The doors were open to welcome the guests as it was so hot and to look welcoming . Other neighbouring campers were commenting on how beautiful the rent was and have booked a stay in it !
You get insects and bugs in a field !
This is a working farm and you get your name on a chalk board outside your tent so that you can settle in . I checked the tent and there was a tissue on the grass outside the door . Someone must have dropped it when passing ! I picked it up , problem solved.
I am a music teacher and on some days I have students during the day .
Kevin is a farmer and can’t always appear at the drop of a hat . We live here and there is always someone around to help as soon as we can .
Storm Daragh blew the roof off our lambing shed last winter . It is in the distance from the camp site and has no bearing whatsoever on the view accross the rolling hills ! It’s over to one side .
The loos and showers are clean and tidy with lashings of hot water .
The camping stoves are carefully cleaned each time . They do get a bit scruffy as they are in the elements but we do replace them when needed .
These people were very rude and this review does not reflect the accommodation at all.
We did try to see them and did ask other campers if they were around and seemed ok ? In the end I just called them as they were not around .
They stayed and said that the tent was all good and that they were happy . They then typed the above .
I have reduced the prices considerably this season as times are hard for everyone .
This review is damaging , unrealistic and unkind .
We have to work several Jobs to make ends meet and this is a working farm with pretty bell tents in the Cornish country side not a hotel in a resort.
