Simple Cornish camping on a working farm, within reach of Bude's beautiful beaches

Pattacott Farm is a campsite with all the delicious advantages you get when pitching next to a working farm, but none of the hard work associated with it. Tucked away within sprawling acres of Launceston land, Pattacott owners Sue and Kev let campers experience all the sounds (and, occasionally, smells) you'd expect from staying in their expansive farmland. This also means that you'll get to wake up and enjoy a home-reared sausage and bacon sandwich for breakfast, lamb burgers and chops for dinner, while also experiencing a different kind of holiday than is typically associated with the sun sea and surf of the South West.

Cornwall is well-known for its caravan sites and bed 'n' breakfasts, with visitors typically descending upon the county's coast for a traditional British beach holiday. However, the third-generation Pattacott Farm provides guests with a base in Cornish countryside that offers the best of both worlds. It's a simplistic set up where campers can enjoy an impromptu picnic by the nearby river or use its handy North Cornwall location to get out and see the sights. Unusually for a stripped-back and back-to-basics site such as this, Pattacott also features moderate glamping options for those not in the business of setting up their own tent. These include furnished bell tents, with their own camping cooker and grill, along with a charming vintage caravan dubbed "Agnus" with its own amenities including a kitchenette, shower, and chemical loo.

When Sue and Kev aren't busy tending their sheep, cows and horses, they'll often do a round of the site armed with a selection of Pattacott produce and locally sourced food in tow. You can usually get your hands on fresh eggs, meat, milk, and bread, along with logs for your campfire to rustle up a meal for fellow campers. The rural location means there's no pub round the corner but if you don't fancy cooking, a 10-minute drive gets you to the closest pub and 20 minutes gets you to seaside Bude, which is worth the drive for its wide range of eateries.

While Pattacott Farm may seemingly be out in the sticks, this close proximity to Bude and the popular beaches surrounding it make it an unexpectedly advantageous spot for those looking to explore North Cornwall. Crackington Haven is the closest beach and great for rockpooling with surf-friendly Widemouth Bay, not much further. Then there's the National Trust harbour of Boscastle, a lively commercial port in the 19th century that's now a scenic dock for local fishermen and a lovely place for a Cornish cream tea.

Very friendly host good location plenty of space for the camper van we had the field to ourselves enjoyed the calves and the sheep drinking water showers grey waste all good …. Two very small things that could be improved the signage when you got up the path it was a little bit unclear where to go…. Did some fires probably a little bit too close for comfort to the tents for my liking. Great location buds and boscastle close. Nearest pub shop we found about 4 miles away. Sue and her husband came to greet us and tell us about the site even though it was late and they hadn’t eaten because they were sorting a plumbing issue so kudos for that, they could’ve left until the morning.

Funky Horse Lorry
Thank you Sue and Kev for a wonderful 3 days in your horsebox at Pattacott farm. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome and can say we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Sue and Kev are approachable and easy going and clearly proud and passionate about what they do. Showers and toilets were very clean and the water nice and hot! The horse box was well equipped and had all the amenities we needed. We also had a bench, fire-pit and BBQ outside which we made full use of. The grounds are well kept and very safe, our 5 and 3 year old were free to run around and had a great time. It's a working farm so expect to be woken up by cockerels, pigs and sheep. Keep an eye out for Sophie the cat too she was a big hit with the kids. Local produce is available, delicious sausages, bacon, bread and eggs kept us going and fire wood is provided too. Views are stunning and you are roughly a 15 minute drive from the coast/civilisation make sure you have everything you need before arriving! Thanks for an amazing stay, would definitely recommend!

Had a great time taking my daughter on her first camping trip, she loved the experience, the great views and the fields with sheep. The site had the basic facilities that you would need and is in a great location to visit the North of Cornwall.

Lovely spot that feels remote and peaceful but is also well connected for local beaches, Tintagel, Boscastle and Launceston. Lots of space for running around. We had a friendly and helpful welcome from Sue and Kevin who came round with a trailer full of logs for the firebowl, as well as excellent local produce (can recommend the sausages and bacon, plus eggs and milk as fresh as you can get them - and Sue's homemade bread, which we didn't try but looked amazing). As other reviews have mentioned, the site could possibly benefit from additional toilets and showers but I personally didn't have to queue for any of it while we were there, and the facilities are well looked after and kept very clean.

From the host
Pattacott Farm is a third generation Victorian working farm nestled deep in North Cornish Farmland, just 15 minutes drive from Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay. We are only 20 minutes from Bude and the beautiful National Trust Harbour of Boscastle. We are also within easy reach of Port Isaac, Tintagel and Padstow. There is a footpath running through the farm that leads to our big field “Lower Hills “. You can have a picnic by the river down here or even wild camp in high season. On a clear night you can star gaze as you sit by your campfire. We can provide delicious sausages and bacon from our home-reared Tamworth and Saddle Back pigs, as well as lamb burgers and chops. Homemade bread, fresh free range eggs, big sacks of logs for your campfire and milk from a nearby farm are also available. We are a working farm and have sheep, pigs, cows, poultry and horses and so you can expect to have the sounds and smells associated with a working farm from time to time. We also have dogs and cats. We are dog friendly but strictly on a lead at all times and not in the glamping units themselves. When we can, we like to give talks and tours of the farm and some of its history.
