Stud Farm

Liked The downs. The hot showers. The basic but excellent facilities. The walk straight out the campsite down to the sea. The silence at night. Stud Farm is a stunner!

Disliked Ground a tad tough to camp on after a hot dry summer, but that couldn’t be helped.

Liked Amazing views, staff and facilities. The owner would often patrol and meet new comers and check in on campers to make sure everyone was happy. Large pitches and great value for money. Also very easy to find with great walking paths, shops and beaches close by

Liked The view was lovely
Nice quiet site
Facilities clean

Disliked Hearing the lady telling another camper that the illegal immigrants should be shot on the boats
Being told in advance there were no sheep in surrounding fields due to having 2 dogs with me, to arriving and finding sheep on 3 sides of the campsite (and 4th side on the other side of the road)

From the manager: We take the allegations you have made about our staff extremely seriously. All of our staff have attended equality and diversity training and this matter will be thoroughly investigated and any misconduct found will be addressed accordingly. We have never before had any sort of allegation like this made against any staff in our employment this year of any other year. As you can see from the feedback we get our customer service is very important to us and this is reflected in the comments made by our customers.
Regarding the matter of the sheep in the adjacent fields. We are a campsite based on a sheep farm and therefore there are always sheep in adjacent fields. All of our staff are completely aware of this. Our website also states we are based on a mixed farm with sheep and there are many pictures of sheep in and around the campsite. 80% of our customers bring dogs to our campsite and providing they are kept under control they are very welcome.

Liked The scenery is beautiful, the showers and toilets are clean

From the manager: thank you for your feedback, it is valuable to us.
the scenery is great with the view of the Downs and the Sea from this site.
we have checked the doors and they do lock, if you try to open the door after locking then you would find that they don't open, sorry that the shower light didn't work for you.
we have also checked the light, it does work, the problem is that some people leave the light on after a shower and as they are solar powered they run down and don't recharge in darkness, however we will look into this and see if we can improve this, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Liked Staff very friendly, cared about the guests and cleanliness of the site. Breakfast food was excellent.

Disliked Large groups on some camping pitches

From the manager: thank you for your feedback which is valuable to us.
we do what we can for our customers, we have actually sampled the products and they are excellent quality at competitive prices.
we actually don't accept large groups because we do value that our customers appreciate the peacefulness of the site.
unfortunately some large groups do book their pitches separately under different names as in normal small booking only to get together after they have arrived, which is not possible to control. however we do monitor the site to do security checks and make sure there is no music on after 9pm which is a site rule.
many thanks

Liked A lovely Place with a great view!

Disliked No wifi

From the manager: thank you for your feedback.
there are great views of the Downs and the Sea from this site, with walks and places to visit, as well as only 15 minutes away from Newhaven ferry port.
unfortunately there is no electricity on this site, so not able to provide wifi, however you can actually get 5G on your phone from this hilltop depending on your phone provider, so most people connect their laptop to their phone hotspot.
many thanks

Liked The location, the views, the hosts, sunrises and sunsets. The adventure to get here! The facilities are a little more basic than some, but this is a hilltop rural campsite-however, everything you need is here, drinking water, showers, toilets and disposal. The mornings and evenings, sun rolling across the hills and sea make this place really special. The hosts are charismatic and energetic and really helpful, answering questions etc. There are great walks and rides straight out of the gate.

Disliked I don’t dislike this, but be aware that the location is in the elements. My first night was in a hurricane. It was actually dramatic and amazing to watch it across the channel:-)

Liked very peaceful, facilities are OK but could be improved on. Stayed here several times.

From the manager: thank you for your feedback.
we do try to promote this site as a peaceful stay but we do occasionally get the odd ones that that don't respect others, we do have a No Music policy after 9pm which we monitor along with the security of the site.
we have improved the toilet block with the toilet flushes on a separate system, and we are looking to improve them further, any thoughts and ideas are welcome, good or bad, as we do want to improve the site as much as possible.
please do feel free to voice your opinions an any subject about the site.
