Stunning peaceful spot to chill in our gorgeous shepherds retreat hut

Friendly family-run farm site 20 minutes' drive from Launceston
A 15-minute drive from the coast path and Crackington Haven beach
Buy fresh eggs and homemade sausages and burgers on site

Farm life… it’s all pony rides, fresh eggs and homemade sausages isn’t it? Well, it is at Pattacott Farm, a friendly family park in Cornwall, 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston. This is very much an active working farm, keeping an assorted menagerie of rare-breed sheep and pigs, a herd of cattle and free-roaming chickens in the grounds. A couple of ponies also live on site, and the folk that run the place are happy to arrange local lead rein rides for nippers who’d like to have a taster of riding during their stay. The collection of animals isn’t just for show, of course – they contribute to the range of tasty items available to buy, including eggs for your brekkie and homemade sausages or burgers for your barbecue (which you could serve up in homemade bread from the farm too). You might fancy a crack at building a campfire as well, and you’re welcome to do so for flame-grilled dinners or to keep you toasty as you gaze up into the starry skies (the heavens often glitter overhead out here as the area is far away from light pollution). If you’re not planning to live on a diet of burgers alone, extra supplies can be sourced at the shop four miles away or in the supermarkets of Launceston and Bude (20 minutes). Once essentials are sorted, it’s time to plan for your activities: keep it local with a good rural ramble on the network of footpaths that runs nearby or make the 15-minute jaunt to the coast for more walks, beach days, surfing and legend-learning at Tintagel Castle (25 minutes).

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: We stayed in our tent the toilets and shower was very clean sue and her husband was very helpful it was so peaceful and quiet on site it was nice being back on a working farm .sue showed us where the dog walking field was it was 20 acre for them too run around in they loved it .overall it was a lovely break after losing my mum middle part of the year it was nice too get away. And could not fault where we where .the only downside was because of the weather our tent got flooded so we had to pack up a day early. I would definitely go back again.

Disliked: If I really wanted too nick pick and this is the only thing the washing up station when raining could do with a shelter over it but too b fair we worked it out .

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Very quiet site, fantastic views across the countryside. Kev and Sue very friendly.

Disliked: Only two toilets for the whole site, and at the time only one sink for washing of dishes (although they were in the process of fitting a second sink), no protection from the wind, but this would then stop the fantastic views.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review . Sorry that the weather was so awful for you . It was great to have you.
Just to correct though we have 2 toilets at the bottom of the site too . So 4 all together .
We planned to extend the block to add two more toilets but this year , other than bank holiday it’s been so quiet we couldn’t afford to do it. We will keep improving as we can.

Will recommend to anyone, clean site, friendly staff, great views.

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Our idea of a perfect remote camping spot with incredible views of the night skies.
Really surprised about the bad reviews regarding animals/flies! It’s a working farm! We loved our visits from the dogs, geese and even a sheep.
Dogs were also great with my dog!
Kev and sue were super accommodating, always contactable and responsive, even changing dates when our van broke down and pulling us out of the mud after some unexpected heavy rain.
Electric/water/toilet/shower all great but we loved the remoteness and even had the field to ourselves for the 2 nights.
You can even buy fresh farm produce from them!
Good phone signal if you need it unlike some of the other campsites were stayed by nearby.
Idyllic.

Disliked: Nothing - wouldn’t stay on a farm if you’re not okay with animals and a few flies!

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Lovely location and pleasant views from the site, owner seemed lovely on the phone and the farm produce I purchased (eggs, bacon and sausages) were delicious!

Disliked: Owner said that she’d tried to contact me in advance, as they would be out that evening, but didn’t receive the email (even in junk folder) and only one missed call but no answerphone message left. It meant that when I arrived, I didn’t know where to go (sign had blown over in the gale), but did manage to get hold of her after a few attempts and all then resolved.

Overall, would book again for the value, and family fun for camping.

Bell tent

Liked: I liked the fact it was rural but not too far from amenities and services. Hosts were kind and extremely helpful. The glamping tent was spacious, clean and situated on a flat pitch. The fresh produce from the farm was extremely fresh and yummy, especially the sausages and lamb burgers..... hmmmm!
Children loved having a campfire for there marshmallow roasting and wide views all around.

Disliked: Even though there were toilet and washing areas with hot and cold water, the shower cubicles aren't ideal for families as not much space to shower young children. Also, no play area for children as it is part of a working farm

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: The location and the freedom of where we wanted to set up our pitch within the motorhome section.
The shower was hot and clean for the most part.

Disliked: Only being 2 toilets and 4 showers for the whole site.
Shower spaces were very small in the cubicle and the space to get changed in - fine if a child but much harder if a grown-up. Having to hold a button in whilst you shower was frustrating and made things difficult.
We never received the fresh food we requested for breakfast so had to make alternative arrangements.
Heard some arguing from the house at approx midnight for a short while - glad we were in a van not a tent or this would have disturbed us.
No baby change facilities for our friend with a young baby!
The road into the site is full of potholes and could definitely be made better!
