  • 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 entry to the animal park is included in your stay, and there are encounters with lemurs, Highland cattle, kookaburras, tortoises and capybara (among many others) to book… and not forgetting the park’s star attractions – the handsome hybrid wolf/dogs. If that’s not enough to keep everyone happy, stay busy with tractor rides, an indoor soft-play centre and crazy golf for the kids.

Bell tent

Liked: The tent was lovely, well furnished and very clean. Convenient power access, lighting and refrigeration box. Social area and fire place in great condition, clean, and new. Good space for car, close to tent. Access to zoo a real bonus, fantastic for young kids with the animals, feeding, park, soft play and good tractor ride. Will be coming again Nice welcoming pubs with good food annd drink extremely close!
