Small, friendly site on a working farm in the South Downs
A 15-minute drive to Chichester; 10 minutes to the nearest beach
Farm tours available; 10 minutes' walk to tea rooms and a farm shop

With Hampshire to its west, West Sussex to its east, the coast a little way south and the South Downs National Park, Sindles Farm is in a splendid spot for a break that’s packed full of variety. From this location just outside the village of Aldsworth it’ll take you about 10 minutes to drive to the beach at Emsworth, 15 minutes to Chichester and 20 minutes to Portsmouth or the many events of the Goodwood Estate. Walks are definitely on the cards too, whether you’re up for a long national park hike or the short 10-minute stroll across the field to the tea rooms and farm shop at Stansted Park. Also close by is the village of Westbourne (five minutes’ drive), which has an excellent family-run bakery, a small supermarket, a fish and chip shop, an Indian takeaway and three pubs to keep you fed and watered. There’s no need to haul firewood back to the site though, as logs are provided for the firepits that come with all accommodation units. Please note that fires may not be possible in certain weather conditions. Every pitch on site also has access to shower and toilet facilities, as well as a drinking water tap. Pick this site for your break and you’ll be staying on a small, friendly site on a working farm where free-range chickens stroll around and you may be able to spot lambs in the right season. There’s always something going on, and the owners are very happy to answer questions or give tours to give guests a better insight into the farming life.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet area. Provision of logs for a fire pit is a nice touch at £10.

Disliked: Entirely my own fault, assumed that the listing description of bespoke toilets etc applied to the basic campsite too - it did not. In retrospect this was explained in the listing.

The facilities available for basic camping are: unlit shower in anoutbuilding and two unlit festival style portaloos. There is a tap for drinking water.

Landpod camping pod

Liked: The site is well laid out with private areas for each pod or hut. It's a well kept site, clean and fresh. The toilet and shower huts are clean and fresh feeling. The landpod is very comfortable. It was so good to have charging available in the pod. Laura and her 2 dogs are friendly.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Flat pitches
Small, quiet site
Nice walk to Stanstead Park
Firepit hire

Disliked: Portaloos
We saw the owners' dogs wee on people's camping equipment - there did seem to be some understanding from the owners that not everyone likes dogs (and we do), but it is probably better to keep them off the camping field as a default as it is quite a difficult thing to complain about if you're not keen.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hellol Thank you for taking time write your review. We do try and keep the dogs away from the camping field but guests feed them and they are very good escape artists! I do ask all guests to call me if the dogs appear. I am also getting more secure fencing and gates put around our garden so hopefully this will no longer be a problem. Laura

Sussex shepherd's hut

Liked: Loved loved loved the place! Son really wanted to go camping so this was what my husband and I compromised with - very cute shepherd's hut with great shower and toilet facilities. Wonderful location in a field where we could see the farm's cows in the distance. We were sharing the field with two other families with kids but there was plenty of space and everyone was very friendly.
We had great weather and opted to purchase the breakfast option one of the mornings, which was brought to the table outside our hut. We had a really enjoyable tour and got to feed the chickens and ducks - my son loved biking around to see the very friendly cows in the other field. We biked over to Stansted House and spent a wonderful afternoon at West and East Wittering and enjoyed the beautiful clear night sky - star gazing. Heartily recommend the place.

Apart from the rooster, everything else was lovely and clean.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Site was very clean and well kept. Owner was very friendly and welcomed everyone as and when they arrived. Accommodating when I asked for fire wood quite late into the evening.

Disliked: The rooster. At 4am. Right next to the pitch. And for the rest of the morning leaving us unable to sleep from then onwards. I understand it's a farm. I truly do. I get that there may be noises etc but this was the only thing that let the place down for us. We were so tired and grumpy because of it we forefited the second day/night stay. I mean this thing was LOUD. The 4 kids I had along were adamant they didn't want another night stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking time to write a review. I am very sorry to hear that the cockerel was that loud, we will locate him to another part of the farm. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Laura
