We are regular CL visitors and I thought we had visited every CL within 25 miles of our home. Cannot believe we have missed this beautiful site.
The site is located 5 miles from Ripon. The site is gently sloping so levelling may be required.
The toilet is lovely and clean and pitches are well marked and well spaced. Elsa point is clean and tidy and the water point is well marked.
Tv signal is perfect and we have 5 bars on O2 mobile phones.
The site has numerous pubic footpaths and bridleways from site.
The fields adjacent have chickens, and at the moment lovely lambs.
Views across the Nidderdale valley make this a delight.
The site owners are lovely people who make you feel very welcome indeed.
We will be back!
Enjoyable 4 night stay
This is our first time at this CL but we will definitely return. The site is quite small but more than enough room on each of the 5 pitches. The welcome we received was very friendly and informative about the site facilities, waste disposal etc. We had the choice of 3 pitches that were unoccupied and chose the corner pitch. Both the field and the owners gardens attached to the farmhouse are immaculate. The site is situated about half way between Ripon and Pately Bridge both of which we visited and had very enjoyable days out. There are lots of sights to visit in the area, too many to name here, and the renowned Grantley Hall is just a short drive away as is the ice cream parlour, very much worth a visit. Thank you for a really enjoyable stay at your CL.
Just super
Beautifully kept .Friendly welcome very helpful and good humoured .Sawley Arms a little walk away ver pleasant pub with super local beers .Short way from Ripon with its excellent Cathedral . view across to the vale of York . Toilet available which was most tidy . well marked rubbish containers .Well will return !(just ask to be shown the colour codes of the new electrics no problem really )
Small site, lots of road noise
Pros - beautiful view, great location and tidy site.
Cons - backed onto a very noisy road, grass clippings not collected, small site.
Our main issue with this CL was the unfavourable confrontation with the female owner. We had booked 2 pitches for 3 nights via telephone, the owner didn’t however note this down correctly. We set up at 1pm and at 6pm she then walked into our awning in front of our very young children demanding that one of us leave immediately (bearing in mind this was the owners mistake not ours).
She was extremely rude and confrontational, her husband however did try to calm her down. It was most unwelcoming and if we didn’t live over 70 miles away we would have left.
It’s safe to say that our friends and I will not return.
Lovely CL
We had a lovely week at this CL. It was immaculately kept with fantastic views. And good access from the road. Although small there was room for the children to play on the grass infront of the caravans. It's really close to both Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey. And also convenient for other places like Harrogate and York. We had a lovely week at Greenacres, and will certainly be back.

Beautiful peaceful CL
A very welcoming reception from a lovely family this is a gem of a cl with stunning views and local attractions, we enjoyed a peaceful weekend. And booked our return visit
Wonderful CL site
A lovely little CL site, close to lots of things to see and do.
The owners are absolutely wonderful . Very welcoming and can't do enough for you.
Can't wait to come back
This has to be one of the nicest CL sites we have stayed on. Just a pity we can't stay for longer.
We were there for 5 days but could have easily spent a lot longer there.

A superb little site well worth visiting
We are just back from a short stay at Green acres CL. It's easy to access and you receive a friendly welcome. There is the bonus of a toilet on site. The electric hook up is 16 amps. The views from the site are just superb. We had our folding electric bikes with us and we made the short ride to Fountains abbey. The west gate entrance to the abbey can be reached on small quiet roads. Another must-do is to visit Brimham Rocks, also National Trust and only around 15 mins drive away. The town of Ripon is also around 15 mins by car and has a beautiful cathedral. So many lovely places to visit too numerous to mention. There is a dog walk to the side of the site and if you continue on this walk you will reach the village of Sawley with a good pub serving food and offering take away fish and chips. This little gem of a site comes highly recommended by ourselves and many others. Enjoy a stay there some time !

A Great Stay
A fabulous, friendly and helpful welcome by the owners, a lovely site in an elevated position which gives you the opportunity of looking out over a wonderful vista with some dramatic sunsets and skies. Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay and will certainly recommend this site to everyone. We will certainly go back again.
