  • Rural Cornish farm with on-site fishing
  • A 20-minute drive from Bude
  • Farm shop on site, plus bar/restaurant with takeaway options
Cornwall, fishing, fab views, lip-smacking farm produce and pasties made to order… 'tis no wonder that guests wax lyrical about Chelsfield Farm, about 20 minutes from the beaches and watery activities of splendid Bude. Set on a smallholding within 17 acres deep in rural Cornwall, this family farm comes with spectacular views towards Dartmoor, immaculate amenities, and a handsomely set fishing lake at which to land carp and tench for a small fee. (Not a fishing fan? Bring a book and a picnic to the lakeside instead.) Resident horses Dolly and Connie are part of the farm menagerie, along with a flock of sheep, free-range chickens, turkeys, geese and guinea fowl, all on a wide open green space with large, level and well-drained pitches and plenty of room for kids to play (send them to find the tree swing and you'll likely not see them for hours). Amenities are well looked after and include a toilet and shower block with free electric showers, a washing-up sink, several water taps and a chemical waste point. Owners Marianne and Alan strongly encourage barbecues here, so it's just as well that Chelsfield also comes with a smashing farm shop, stocked with first-rate produce including locally farmed meat, fresh free-range eggs and other bits and pieces to sizzle up on the site barbie while looking across to Dartmoor. A bar is to hand for drinks afterwards. If you'd rather not cook, the farm's restaurant/takeaway serves breakfast baps, burgers and hot dogs, as well as sandwiches, pies and pasties all made to highly tasty order.

What customers say

Great hosts, clean facilities and generous pitches. The on-site restaurant and farm shop are a hit, with the food earning high marks. Lovely views and handy for attractions. A few noted shower temp issues, and one found it dirty/unsuitable for kids, which management refuted.

Powered grass site

Liked This was an absolute lovely campsite, the owners were lovely, the staff that worked in the bar were all extreme polite and welcoming. The food was absolutely unreal, highly recommend kebab night, roast dinners and the ribs! My husband (who is very hard to please) said it was the best ribs he's ever had. We always camp with our friends, so me and my best friend decided to try the afternoon tea one afternoon and it was absolutely stunning!
This is a really lovely place!

Disliked The only downside which is minute is the showers are very very hot and you can't control the temperature. For the adults it was fine but some of the kids in our group struggled.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A fantastic base for exploring north Cornwall, especially Bude!

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Lovely site with a fantastic bar, restaurant and shop. We made very good use of the pool table! Various special evenings and events were very enjoyable especially the artisan fair with local vendors.

Lots of accommodation options, everything from tent pitches right up to the lodges but we were on a hard standing electric pitch with grass. Really loved having the sheep in the field behind (shout out to Meryl Sheep!)

Worth noting that we couldn't have managed without a car on this trip, not a criticism however - we liked how out of the way the farm was from everything (plus shop on site had essentials!)

Disliked Bathroom facilities are ok - water was always hot and the team clearly worked hard to keep areas clean but with only 1 hook in each shower cubicle it was very difficult to keep clothes/towels/belongings dry. Adding a shelf or a small bench would solve this issue.

Liked The views

Disliked The lack of organisation, no one heated us or showed us where the toilet block was or shower. They never explained the layout of the farm, the shower block water was boiling you couldn’t change the temperature so kids couldn’t shower.
There was a tent that had 2 dogs that were never on a lead and chased out kids al day

Willow 3 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked Lovely setting, very peaceful and fantastic views. The chalet was excellent, very cosy and nicely furnished and the beds and sofa were comfy. Kitchen well stocked with utensils/pots and pans etc.

There is a a big picnic bench outside perfect for eating outside.

Disliked There weren’t any recycling bins at the campsite, but I suppose that’s a council issue.

Local attractions

North Cornwall, north Devon and Dartmoor are all easily reachable from Chelsfield Farm, for days around coast and countryside, wildlife watching and walking, cantering around on horseback and fishing via shore and river. Tintagel Castle, the Crealy Great Adventure Park and other top Cornish family spots are within a short drive. Most folk know nearby Bude for its surf, but you'll find a fair bit to do around town and out of the water too, from cantering on its coastline to potters around its old harbour or letting the kids loose at the town's six-storey indoor play centre. The spectacular South West Coast Path runs from Bude to Crackington Haven and from there onto Boscastle and Tintagel, or you could hike in the other direction 15 miles to Hartford Quay via the Hartford Peninsula and then – if you dare – another 10 miles onto the tiny cobbled town of north Devon's Clovelly. Other activities all around include sea fishing, clay pigeon shooting, birdwatching, and spotting local wildlife like red deer, roe deer, foxes, badgers, frogs, newts, toads, squirrels and hedgehogs: it's very much recommended that you bring your paintbox and your camera…
