This historic and picturesque village is recorded in the Domesday Book. It is nestled at the foot of the South Downs with Telscombe Tye to the South. It houses the ancient church of St.Laurence which dates back to the twelfth century. Stud Farm forms part of the village along with the village Hall and houses such as The Manor and the Old Rectory. It has less than 50 inhabitants and therefore still remains quiet and unspoilt.
Stud farm is a mixed working organic farm. Previously a horse stud and home of a Grand National winner in 1902. There is still a section of the farm dedicated to training race horses. This is run by trainer Camilla Poulton. The remainder of the farm is a working sheep farm, along with pigs and arable farming. Please note we are not a hobby farm or riding school so it is not possible to view the animals and we DO NOT offer riding lessons or hacks. We produce our own lamb, pork and a range of sausages all available for our campers to purchase along with free range

Offering pitches for TENTS & SMALL CAMPER VANS ONLY.(MAX 6 Meters) & NO CARAVANS. The site is within an area of outstanding beauty offering breath taking views over the Downland and sea. With only a 20 minute stroll from the gorgeous Sussex coast, with beach access in 30 minutes. It is within easy reach of Brighton by bus or car.

However we do have a shower & toilet block offering 4 toilets and 2 large showers BUT DO NOT EXPECT POWER SHOWERS-warm water only-(NOT HOT). We frequently experience low water pressure.
We also have drinking water and a washing up area. We are also an exposed site so it can be windy and the ground is chalky so bring decent tent pegs & a mallet!
We are happy to have fire pits on site if raised off the ground and we hire these out for £5 per night. But please apply safe practice and keep a distance from vehicles and tents.
PLEASE NOTE we are happy to take dogs that come under the XL Bully group but they MUST be muzzled & on a lead at all times.
