Stud Farm

Positiv Stunning view. Just a lovely spot. Someone came to check if we needed anything shortly after our arrival, which was appreciated. There is a lovely pub a short drive away.

Negativ Nothing to dislike.

Positiv Great views of the South Downs. 30 min walk to the Smugglers Rest pub. Toilets were clean. It is in the middle of nowhere.

Negativ Pitches are quite uneven. You will need good chock/blocks if you have a van.
Ladies toilets ran out of loo roll early on the Sunday morning.

Vom Platzbetreiber: thank you for your feedback
there is a sign on the toilet roll holder for low on loo roll with the phone number on it for people to text us, as most people have unlimited texts.
we did get a text message, as soon as we got the text we refreshed the toilet roll immediately,
maybe it could have been sooner.
many thanks

Positiv The views
Local to Lewes.

Negativ The price
The steep hill climb.
Showers not very hot
Cold washing up facilities.
Not ideal for small children
Paid extra for my six year old even though we all slept in the van.
Mold in shower facilities.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your overall score of 10, though I am a little surprised considering the amount of dislikes you had for our site.
All facilities are clearly described including the fact that the showers are warm and not hot.
We have many young children camping here who love that they have the freedom and space to play safely.
The pitch price includes 2 people it is standard to charge for additional adults or children.
I am surprised there was mould in the shower as they are cleaned regularly and kept immaculate, however you do have to factor in we are on the top of the downs and it is October, hence the steep climb! Pay off for the exceptional views!

Positiv Our visit to Stud Farm lasted two days and we loved it. The views across Peacehaven and the Downs are stunning and the site was very peaceful even though it was a weekend.
The facilities are adequate and very clean.
The camp site owner was on site for a large part of the day and was very friendly and helpful.
We will definitely return.

Positiv The location of the site was great - easily walkable to the nearest town, from which you can get buses directly to Rottingdean/Brighton. Facilities were small but clean.

Negativ The first thing we were asked when we arrived was whether we would want to shower whilst on site (before even "welcome")- when we said yes (why would we not when they're available and we're here for 2 days?) it seemed like this was an inconvenience because of the water pressure. This is fine and we don't expect luxury when camping - but the attitude we were immediately met with was a bit off. When my boyfriend did then have a shower he accidentally(!) didn't lock the door properly and the site owner walked in to clean whilst he was in there. An accident, not a huge issue as these things happen and an "oops! sorry" would have been fine. Instead, the owner got irate at my boyfriend for not locking the door properly and complained about it to another guest. This was more embarrassing than her walking in! Generally we overheard the site owner moaning/complaining about guests quite a lot during our stay which made us feel uneasy. As we were leaving we also saw her going through someone's tent - I think because they were due to check out that day. Surely their tent being there tells you enough without having to go in! Generally seemed like they didn't enjoy hosting people, and if that's the case, just don't do it...

Vom Platzbetreiber: thank you for your feedback as it is valuable to us.
after reading your comments i did question staff on site at the time of your visit.
we have three websites that serve's our campsite and not all of them state that we occasionally get low water pressure, so our member of staff was just for your concern so that you didn't get a cold shower.
the warden stated that she had said sorry when walking in on your boyfriend after not locking the door, and that it was another camper that asked if this happens regular and the warden answered sometimes. and didn't expand on this.

as for the tent, we would never ever go into someone's tent as it is their private domain.
This was actually the wardens tent, a relative had stayed for just one night and left early, didn't take it down as it was still damp in the morning, and left it for the owner which was the warden to take it down when it had dried, so i think we can safely say you was mistaken with your ongoing comments on this one.

we are sorry that you didn't get on well with this warden, and welcome any further feedback you may have.

Positiv Such a beautiful spot, I am completely off-grid, so I had everything I needed, perfect weekend getaway jusst one man and his dog.

Negativ All good.

Positiv Good location for Newhaven Ferry

Negativ Very basic

Freunden empfehlen Erneut besuchen

Vom Platzbetreiber: We do urge people to read about our campsite prior to booking as we are completely transparent regarding the basic but very adequate facilities we have.
We are a traditional campsite and not a holiday park as advertised, with stunning views, immaculate facilities and friendly staff.

Positiv Absolutely fantastic site, stunning views, no hook up, which I didn't need. Pitch was very spacious! Only stayed one night, would have loved to have stayed longer, didn't use the showers as we get away early for a race. The toilets were spotless!!! Just outside the site was 3 footpaths over the South Downs.

Negativ Nothing.
