  • Family-friendly glamping on an animal park in Flintshire, North Wales
  • Chester Zoo 15 minutes’ drive and Llandudno 50 minutes
  • Furnished bell tents; wildlife encounters and kids’ activities on site
It’s time to get down with the animals – load the family into the car and head for Flintshire in North Wales. Here you’ll find spacious bell tents at Acres of Glamping, a leafy site set on Greenacres Animal Park at Mancot in Deeside. The tents are set up with cosy carpeting and rugs covering the floor to keep you all warm, and they are handily kitted out with bedside tables, blankets and electric points as well as central lamps and fairy lights. Comfy beds, linens and throws are also provided, as well as bean bags and cushions. Every tent has a mini cooking corner with utensils and crockery, teas and coffees and a plastic butt for easy water transportation. Also included is the first basket of logs for the private-use firepits outside, and each tent has its own private parking spot and fenced-off garden with a compact decked area. Basic (Silver) entry to the animal park is included in your stay, but if you want to upgrade to the Gold package when you arrive at reception, this will also mean taking a tractor ride to see Highland cattle and other animals, as well as the chance to see smaller animals up close in the park's meet and greet area. In the animal park, there is also a soft play centre. Larger animal encounters are also available for an additional fee and include lemurs, capybara, hybrid wolves and alpacas among others.

What customers say

This glamping site offers a unique experience with well-equipped, clean bell tents and the bonus of animal park access. Guests loved hearing the animals, particularly the wolves howling at night, and enjoyed the campfire facilities. Staff are frequently praised for being friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. While most found the site perfect, a few noted the beds were a little uncomfortable, and some suggested improvements to bathroom lighting and cooking amenities. The early check-in and ample space for children were also highlighted as positives.

Bell tent

Liked It was excellent, we enjoyed every minute, the half 11 check in was great as it gave us a whole extra day, the park was great for the kids, just so much space for them to run around and run off all their energy. Everything provided was amazing and made life so much easier. Listening to the wolves howl while we were sat by the fire of an evening was beautiful

Disliked I will say the double bed was a quite uncomfortable, the mattress was very thin and you could definitely feel the solid wood underneath

The bell tent was nicely furnished and the animal park was enjoyable.

Liked The bell tent was clean and a good size. We enjoyed having a campfire and being opposite a small play park was a bonus. Having access to the animal park as part of the price led to a really enjoyable afternoon.
