What customers say
Cattlestone Farm gets the thumbs up for peace, grand pitches, and spotless loos. Owners are sound, animals are a hoot, and the walks are grand. Only quibbles are iffy WiFi and a bit of a trek with your gear. All in all, a grand spot for a quiet break.

Great space, good value for money and would go back
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Peaceful, nice sized pitch, good space between pitches. The facilities were great. Lovely spacious hot showers which you have full control of. Well stocked washing up area. Lovely being able to stroll around the farm and feed the highland coo’s hay. Would be nice to have something to sit on and watch the coo’s. Good value for money too

Pretty campsite, excellent staff, great facilities, great for couples.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Really cute farm with defined huge level pitches which ensure decent distance in between tents/campervans. All of the pitches have a sectioned off gap between them with at least 2 metres of hay growing. We didn’t end up having anyone next to us but if we did, it would give a really nice gap for sure. I think the whole field was really well thought out. The toilets and showers were really nice. Always clean and the water was lovely and hot. There is also a covered washing up station with washing up liquid etc and a small chest freezer for ice packs. We walked further into the farm and saw the cows and a few goats. It’s a really cute place. The staff were absolutely lovely and drive round every afternoon to offer firewood and fire pits.
Disliked We had a very unfortunate case of a loud group of boys on our first night, however the owners were excellent and came out in the evening to give a warning to the boys and also gave me their personal number to text if any issues. Cannot fault the owners at all with how great they were. I did have to go out at past midnight to ask them to be quiet, and they settled down but it was quite annoying. The second night we were there it was SO quiet (all of the campers were just couples) and it was heavenly. It is quite close to the road as well, and there are some very loud cars/bikes driving and backfiring on the country roads. Absolutely cannot be controlled by the campsite but just bear in mind. Large metal trolleys are offered to take things from the car to the pitch as cars are not allowed on the field which I really liked, however, I was quite surprised then by the amount of campervans and caravans or cars with tent boxes driving on the field. I get that’s unavoidable but packing away in the rain with the trolleys felt a bit obsolete when campers were also driving on the field. Other than the farm, there wasn’t much else around. It’s easy to drive somewhere of course and there are lots of nice places around but we just wanted to stay off grid ideally. We didn't explore any walking routes around but I’m sure there are some. For the wifi, I did check if I could find it but I couldn’t. I wasn’t bothered as I don’t want wifi when camping really.. but at least at the pitches furthest away from the facilities, I didn't find any wifi.

Peaceful
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Toilets and showers super clean
Such a peaceful site come 10 pm that’s it pretty much just the wildlife
If you want to truly unwind then this is spot on 👌
You can stroll through the farm to the highland cows ( stunning ) then beyond for a troll in the countryside

Wonderful haven with great facilities and spacious pitches
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Absolutely beautiful site, great security with coded entry, loads of space with massive it he's that are well spaced out. Facilities are excellent, they have the rustic feel but are top notch. Showers were hit and excellent water pressure with loads of room to change. Hosts were amazing, brilliant communication and warm welcome but let you get on with it, they did log drops for fires and the small touches like the trolleys for luggage and hand wash and dish soap just made it. Wonderful surroundings with loads to see and the animals on the farm were just the best.
Disliked Honestly nothing, maybe a few more shaded areas to choose from for pit he's but that's really hard to do with such an amazingly open space.

Great chilled Camp.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Great facilities, friendly feel, nice location and large pitches, all good. Would recommend to other campers, we were in a roof tent, but lots of ground tents and had chilled peaceful vibe.
Freezer was a great addition to chill down ice packs.
Showers were super hot and clean as well.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely venue. Used the camping field and appreciated the marked pitches, ample space and level. Didn't use the option for campfire, although great to have this option provided by the hosts.
Showers and toilets were very clean (4 of each which was plenty).
Owners were great (including gorgeous new puppy). Enjoyed the opportunity to walk around the open areas of the farm and see the Highland cattle, pigs and goats.

Great simple no frills campsite. Clean peaceful. Would recommend.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Peaceful, well thought out and marked pitches. Nothing but bird noise. The toilets were spotless. Great communication from owners with gate codes etc. Safe and secure location. Will definitely stay again if in the area.
Disliked I thought I read on pitch up that there were stunning views of the south downs and neighbouring highland cattle. However the camping fields are flanked by thick tree lines so there are no views. It didn't spoil our experience though.
