Liked The site was really nice! Chelsfield farm has a real community vibe, the hosts were amiable and helpful - even with some fishing supplies.

Toilet and shower block was easy to reach from all pitches, well maintained and the washing facilities for clothes and dishes was to the same standard, located next to the shower block.

The simple inn (onsite bar and restaurant) was great! We ate in there twice and the food was incredible - home cooked pub grub and the Sunday Roast was the best I’ve had in a restaurant. Lively vibe in the bar side of the venue with a pool table and farm shop that had fresh and frozen meat stocked up daily. We had some steaks, bacon and leek and pork sausages from them and all were delicious.

The pitch we were on was relaxed; lots of children dotted around playing and on Saturday night it was a bit lively on pitch - we enjoyed listening to the fun!

There is a spar 4 mins up the road, and it’s 15-20 minute drive into town if you need any supplies.

We went to widemouth bay which was a 20 min drive and is a really beautiful beach, then went into Bude for some traditional pasties.

I like to try different places but would absolutely return to Chelsfield farm - it was a tranquil, restorative and relaxing stay!

Thank you to the hosts Alan and his wife and the friendly staff on site ☺️

Disliked Not catching any fish, but that’s out of everyone’s hands!

Liked We had a fantastic stay, we even stayed an extra night!
Ponds were fabulous for a bit of late afternoon fishing.
Ablution facilities were always clean.
The restaurant on site was well priced, you received very good portions of locally reared, grown and sourced produce.

Hosts and staff we always friendly and ready to help.

Nice friendly vibe in their pub, we watched the rugby, played pool and even were lucky enough to join in a great evening of poker with the locals which was absolutely fantastic!

Local fresh produce, meat, fish, veg, cheese, eggs etc for sale.
Locally caught fish on a Friday morning was superb on our BBQ.

Definitely give Alan and his wife 10 stars for a great week away.
We will most definitely be back!

Liked The location was great- remote but near enough to access places. Friendly, accommodating staff. EHU easily accessible and plenty of space to pitch.
Small farm shop on site for essentials.

Disliked Camp was noisy at nighttime, especially weekends but quiet by 10:30pm.
The showers were either freezing cold or scalding hot with no way of adjusting.

Liked Openness around the site and at the time of our stay there was a good amount of room between pitches. The site itself is surrounded by lovely Devon countryside with open views.

Disliked The toilets and showers were adequate but compared to others could have been warmer, cleaner and less agricultural.

Liked Accommodated our late check in - just off the ferry - and we got a pitch right by the loos. Super friendly and the bathrooms were clean and loads of hot water. Great views!

Liked Acorn Pod was cosy and clean, with all amenities close by.

Included some nice extras like a toaster, fridge, kettle, and plug sockets.

Bedding (sheets, duvets, pillows) provided were of a good quality.

Saw some of the farm animals on our last day which was very nice!

Within 17 minute drive of beaches like Widemouth Bay, Bude, and Boscastle.

On site pub is good and serves a decent selection of food and local beer (for a good price). Included good veggie options too for my partner.

Disliked Many of these points are specific to the Acorn Pod, and wouldn’t be applicable to camping

Bed in the Acorn Pod was very uncomfortable, with springs visibly sticking out. We had to buy an extra blanket so we could sleep on the provided duvet instead of on the mattress directly.

There were no privacy/blackout blinds on the front door, meaning we had very little privacy at night time (there was a family camping directly in front of us that were able to see in)

Back window was missing its key, and the campsite didn’t have spares, so the pod got hot very quickly (especially at night)

The site toilets left a bit to the imagination, and the showers run incredibly hot - too hot to stand under them for longer than a few seconds. Not sure how kids would deal with that heat.

Whereas the website states that WiFi is included, you actually have to pay a day rate - one to bear in mind
