Why stay here ...

Greenacres Farm has a rural charm despite being accessible via excellent roads and nearby facilities.

All pitches are nice and sunny but if you fancy some time in the shade you can sit under the large wooden gazebo, enjoying the beautiful scent of a climbing rose.


Let your doggies have a run around in the designated off leash dog area. Then on the way back take a stroll around the wild flower garden, whilst listening to the birds singing.

If you choose to stay with us, we hope you enjoy Greenacres as much as we enjoy living here.

Perfect Peaceful Stay

We booked very last minute and the online booking made it really easy to just turn up and all arrival information had been emailed to us. The site is a great mature paddock with spacious pitches you have plenty of room to position your vehicle as you wish. The site was very... Show more

Not so scenic views

A well organised site with not a lot to add to what others have said but we never met the owners and we were disappointed with the lack of views. We appreciate things change since the listing was first put on and hedges grow but the site was chosen because... Show more

Ideal - especially for Stansted

We booked this site with links from the CL Booking App. We paid up fully for the two nights before we arrived (now £18 per night) so we never saw the owners once whilst we were there. Before arriving we were emailed details of the code for the gate padlock.... Show more

Fab place

What a lovely place to visit. Very small which was great for us. Jenny greeted us just after we arrived, then left us to it, but was there or on the phone if needed. We loved it here. 15 minutes from Colchester Zoo, 5 minutes from the... Show more

A local site which will become a regular site.

This is a well thought out site with all the facilities and space needed. Fairly easy access and convenient for the local bus service. Food pub in walking distance. Booked online and owner called to see all was well. Metered electricity but not a problem.

Odd toilet block/bathroom

Stayed here last weekend. In essence this site appears to be a plot of land that the owners have set up pitches and then left the visitors to their own devices. There are 5 pitches in a decent flat field and two hardstandings. We were glad we didn't opt for... Show more

Lovely Site - with video

Spent a few very nice days here. Large open site with plenty of room to set up. The site is flat and very secure with decent facilities. The local village very pleasant with a handy little shop and nice play area under the viaduct. Short walk to the bus stop... Show more

Very Accommodating

Had a lovely stay and will come back if we are in the area. The padlock on the gate is rather fiddly but not a huge problem. Jenny and Matt are very accommodating. Thank you for a lovely stay.
