Another great stay

Greenacres Caravan Site
We've just had another great stay with Martin and Linda and were welcomed with their usual friendliness. The weather had been atrocious and the lawned area was sodden, but that doesn't seem to daunt them. We were happy because apart from the grass there are three hard standings. They can always find time to have a natter and Linda's charity work is always an interesting topic - I want to see her new projects. The site is peaceful and although on a decent road for access isn't vey noisy because of the trees surrounding the site. We always find a great deal to interest us and this year tried the Wild Boar Park in the Trough of Bowland - my oh my, the scenery 'the other side of the M6' is amazing. Preston, Lancaster and Morecambe are easily reached from Green Acres and try a visit to the tiny church at Heysham, with the memorial to a 'downed' helicopter in the churchyard. Good pubs (discount card for two of them) in the area and Fleetwood market this year seemed especially good. We hope to be able to see them again in future years.

Great 3 night stay

Greenacres Caravan Site
Martin and Linda were very welcoming. Very knowledgable about the area, gave us ideas where to visit. Loved catching the ferry from Knott End to Fleetwood. A lot of places to visit in the surrounding area. The site was very pleasant, well maintained and peaceful. Linda made us a cushion with our dogs face on. We will definitely return. A gem of a site.

Very relaxing 3 nights away

Greenacres Caravan Site
As new to Motorhoming this was our first visit to a CL. We were not disappointed, this is a lovely site and we had an amazing break here. Due to hubby having to work late I emailed Martin to let him know our ETA would be around 4pm. Good enough when we arrived, the gates were open and Martin greeted us, really nice friendly chap. He showed hubby all the facilities and showed us our pitch. We were given an electronic fob to open the electric gates but we didn't use this as we went on foot everywhere so Millie stayed put! The site is very rural, surrounded by trees and with horse paddocks facing the pitches. We stayed on our original pitch for one night only as Martin said we could move to the pitch opposite as the current occupiers were leaving in the morning. This was much better as we were right next to the fields that the horses came into of a morning, lovely to see them running off and frolicking on the grass. The toilet and wash room are in the tack room where there's plenty of information for the local area, an array of books you can borrow and all very Covid safe with sanitiser and paper towels to wipe down surfaces. There is a washing machine here which is available to use for a small fee. The tack room is in a small quadrant where the stables are so every morning the horses would pop their heads out looking for a stroke, which was lovely. A bus runs Monday to Saturday outside the site, just stick your hand out and it will stop! We took this to Knott end on Sea from where we got the ferry to Fleetwood then the tram into Blackpool for a day out. It's best to check ferry times as we thought last one was 5.45pm, but it was 2 hours earlier so we had to get the 2C bus back to Knott End. There are a few nice pubs in walking distance. We had Sunday lunch at the Black Bull in Preesall, very nice with good food and good prices. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly reccommend Greenacres. As a result I think in future we'll probably try and book CLs before considering club sites.

Friendly and welcoming

Greenacres Caravan Site
Stayed 4 nights in early Sept. Made very welcome on arrival with detailed explanations of all facilities. Excellent COVID protection evident. Decent walk from site to Knott End avoiding main roads. Also enjoyed promenade walk from Cleverly to Blackpool. Trough of Bowland worth a visit if enjoy walking. Shovels pub worth a visit and again Covid care evident. We will return. PS Great homemade cushions by Linda (for charity)
