August bank holiday weekend. 2 adults 4 kids (6, 7, 10, 12)
On arrival we were greeted by the warden who told us where to pitch. After setting up we wonder around the site. The site was secured with key coded gates, the toilets/shower block was near to where ever you pitch (2 min walk from furthest point) and were quite clean, showers are free and hot. Quite a lot of water points.
The only downside to the camp site is there is no cash machine and no shop to buy any food ie milk bread etc but they is a big asda a 5min drive away and the site office is not open until 10-10. 30am and cafe is not until 11am.
The farm itself is very good, the pets corner is good were you get to meet the animals and to touch them.
The tractor ride was very good and funny. The fair ride were cheap £1 a ride not much for older kids like my 10 and 12 year olds. All the kids loved playing on the playground. The bar at night opens at 8-11pm and was ok with cheap drinks (2 pints, 4 pops £5. 25) they had kids party like games the arcade is opposite the bar but take a lot of 2ps as no change
So overall we had a good time and it was good value for money

Went for 5 nights over Easter the weather wasn't great!
Pitch was ok but a bit squashed in. We were near the noisy monkeys which would make the loudest screaming noise all hours but we got used to it.
The tents were mixed in with the caravans which could be quite noisy. The 1st 2 days was ok but when the pitches were full there was problems with the electric tripping off all the time which was a pain some nights it was off for hours.
The site manager who did everything from cut grass to dj in the bar was helpful. The bar/cafe wasn't up to much only went once due to the smell of dirty chip fat, even at 11 at night. Found a nice pub round the corner 5 mins walk called the white bear food was great. Asda and takeaways are 5 mins drive away.
The toilets/showers were the worst I have ever been to in 4 years caravanning, didn't ever want to try the showers so used our own, only used toilets if I had to, they had a bad smell. Every one who visited the animal park used them as well as us campers,
The waste disposal point was very bad but wont go in to detail.
The park was great for the kids and they loved going round looking at the animals
So all in all I wouldn't go back but the kids enjoyed the place so that was fine.

Just returned from a weekend here. Family of four (kids 10 & 8) & dog.
The campsite itself was lovely, well set out. Pitches varied in size and you were allocated a numbered pitch on arrival. The owners allowed us to swap to a different one as our electric cable wouldn't reach from the electric point! Some of the pitches were quite small and we were unable to park our car and pitch our tent in ours but our neighbours allowed us to park on their larger pitch! All the pitches have a hardstanding and we were told to pitch our tent over it (turns out we had no choice since it wouldn't have fitted any other way! Anyway, this turned out to be quite handy because the weather wasn't too good so it kept bottom of the tent dry!
The camp itself is extremely secure, with a electronic gate to enter/exit. I felt quite happy for the kids to play on the park etc with moderate supervision. The animal park was supurb. Kept the kids entertained for the whole weekend. Quite enjoyed it myself too! Dog's have to be kept on a lead and not allowed in the animal park. There is a field across the road where you can let them off for a run.
The shower/toilets were kept really clean, they were basic, but we weren't expecting the hilton! They were a bit of a walk, which is no problem during the day but it was a LONG walk in the middle of the night! We were also unable to find any washing up sinks so had to resort to boiling water all weekend to wash dishes!
The main gripe about this campsite was some of the other campers, who found it acceptable to be up shouting/swearing etc up to 3am! There was 'quiet after 11' rule but this wasn't enforced.
There is a club house open til 11, we didn't use it as kids were in bed but it looked welcoming enough!
All in all brilliant weekend if you have kids. Would recommend (if you can avoid the other vile campers!)

Visited on the royal wedding bank hol weekend. We have been here several times and have never had a bad time yet. Yes the toilets are shared with visitors but always seem to be cleaned regularly and the showers were new, powerful and hot, as was the boiler in the washing up room.
It is a little walk through the playground etc but not a problem. The play area is great for kids as is all the other things on offer. We went in the bar on our last night and my 2 boys (age 5 and 8) enjoyed the games. The owner is always friendly as are all the other staff.
There is a big asda within walking distance as the farm itself only seems to sell fresh eggs (very tasty) and the usual cafe food and drinks which are pricey.
I discovered a nice little walk which led us to a nice play area and football field - if you come out of the site and head back for the main road, right opposite is Clay Hill Lane (now shut to traffic and if you walk right to the end you come to the dual carriageway with a blue footbridge to the right that takes you right into Asda).
Walk down about 100 yards and there is a public football to the left, go through the gate and carry on through another 2 gates until you reach the end next to the forest, turn left and on the right is a play area.
You can also get back to the campsite from here carrying on into cul de sac and through 2 more small paths until you come round the back of the farm and approach it from the other side. There is also a pub called the white bear if you fancy a drink. You can also use this site as a base for visiting north Wales, Llandudno 1 hour from here.
This farm is only 50 minutes from our home in Tameside and my children are always upset when we leave. I have recommended it to many families and not one of them has come back and been disappointed. We will be visiting again.

After booking first and then doing the silly thing of reading the reviews afterwards, was a bit worried, after what I had read! We arrived on the Good Friday early, to be greeted by the Warden who was on site, think we caused chaos at first because we had a group of 3 caravans obviously arriving at the same time, so we were shown to our pitches immediately allowed to set up first before booking in. Honest opinion was really impressed, lovely site, quiet birds chirping away. After setting up, we booked in, the staff were very helpful and I can say approachable if needed.
Not far to get fresh water from, we had 2 points available and never had to queue. Once settled we went and explored a bit, followed a short path straight onto the playarea, which was fantastic if you had kids. Found the loos, they are not a huge distance away and were extremely clean. Within an hour the site was full all setting tents and caravans up, superbly managed.
One downfall well it isn't a downfall as such, site was quiet after 11, we retired for the evening only to be woken up at 3am, 6am 9am and somewhere in between by this horrendous noise, quiet scary first time you hear it. In the morning we went on an adventure to find where this noise was coming from! To discover the LEMURS. Noisy little critters, once you know that it is animals making a noise you can live with it. Don't be put off by that comment.
Whilst visiting the park the animals look happy and well looked after, they even sell puppies, my friend bought one and took it home the day we left, beautiful little thing. I was after the smallest one but the warden wouldn't let me take it just yet, so left name and number hopefully he will contact me soon!
There is a local spar and pub in the little village, which is worth a visit. Our group of friends are all middle aged and really enjoyed this trip, and will be going back, but if you have children really really recommend it.

We have visited Greenacres Farm Park many times over the years with our two young children (now 8 and 6) and so decided to take the tent and make a weekend of it.
The site location is good, being just off the motorway, and the welcome from reception was ok.
The toilets were dirty and in desperate need of refurbishment, with groups of kids playing around them at night. We only stayed 1 night but I would not have used the showers as they were not very inviting.
Campers have to share the toilets with Park visitors and they are a fair distance from the camping field.
The rules stated (as at most campsites) that kids should be accompanied by adults whilst in the playing area, toilets and animal park, but it was obvious that this wasn't adhered to.
Compared to other campsites we have stayed at over the summer holidays this is the worse and I definitely would not recommend it to anyone.
