Little Gem

We booked Burrs as it was part of our route south and we had not stayed before. we had no great expectations but soon realised we had found a little gem. The setting beside the country park is ideal. unfortunately we had neither the time nor the weather to explore as much as we would like.

we love this site

We love this site, we would like to recommend the chip shop that the wardens recommended they delivered to the site barrier, the fish and chips were excellent and delivered exactly the time we requested. This site is excellent with a steam train passing your pitch every hour or so on the weekend can't fault it. The wardens worked hard to keep the site in top condition with extra cleaning of the toilets and showers we think the reduced access to the toilets and showers work well especially when other sites don't even have them open at all. My only gripe is to fellow campers letting their dog do their business behind our van on the grass and not picking it up after them I am sure they would be complaining if their kids had fallen in it.

Toilet facilities

Stayed here for bank holiday weekend the site was full and they only had 2 out of 7 toilets open which were usually out of toilet paper! I understand the restrictions due to Covid but they could have easily had 4 toilets open especially when the site is full we have stayed on smaller caravan club sites and they manage to have more toilets open it makes you think it’s to make the wardens job easier if they only have 2 toilets to clean

Oh Dear

Friendly check in ladies at reception until I realised I had forgot to take my credit card in to pay “ did I not think I would have to pay” . Whalen driving round choosing a pitch was stopped by a very rude man doing some strumming and instead of just politely asking us to do 5 miles an hour( we weren’t even out of first gear on an automatic) he sarcastically said in a nasty tone Silverstone is a 136 miles that way if you want to do that speed. Grass needs cutting didn’t see anyone cutting grass the 3 days we where there. I know due to COVID there are reduced faculties, only 2 people allowed in at a time for showers and toilet therefore having to wait for someone to finish a shower to use the loo. Only 2 out of the Many toilets where open, only cleaned once a day and everyone on site had to use the same 2 toilets with only one open sink to wash hands. This may be the standard at all sites but doesn’t seem hygienic to me if no increased Cleaning is taking place. The site itself is nice just don’t think the wardens are reading their reviews. PS I don’t normally feel the need to write a bad reviews.

Leaving early

After a very friendly welcome at reception things went downhill. Pitches are thin on gravel and thick on weeds. Busy weekend so not much choice, chose pitch 36 which is supposed to be a "with awning" pitch. Parked exactly to the marker as usual and put up our small driveaway air porch. Just as last peg going in a very officious man drove up on his tractor and told us to take it down as it was 12 inches on the grass. No pleasantries and didn't even bother to get off the tractor. Very rude and such a contrast to the lovely lady in reception. I do see the point of separation but it would be impossible on that pitch to park correctly and have an awning. Leaving early as not enjoyable with attitude of male member of staff. To add insult there are other people with awnings or cars over grass so obviously just us not allowed!

Another great visit to this jewel in the crown.

Yet again another fantastic visit with the added benefit that the steam trains are again running. Before I start the review about the site I am going to talk about the wardens! I found them very attentive and welcoming. The site is well maintained and extra covid precautions are in place. I don’t understand why they get such bad press in some reviews (and have never really understood this). On arrival I booked in with the very pleasant female warden and throughout my stay spoke to all the staff off and on, who were very pleasant and chatty. They walk the site every day to see if everyone is ok and regularly empty the bins etc. Being a solo caravan owner (discounting my cat that comes along) it is a little inconvenient for me as the key fob on the first barrier is passenger side. This is easily resolved as reception have extension sticks so no need to leave the car. The Brown cow seems to shut at 9pm so after this time their is very little noise. The steam trains are running again so if you pitch near the track you get a fab view. Some site pitches could do with new gravel but during my stay we had very heavy rain. The site coped well with this and seemed to drain quickly. This site is still in my top 5 and I really enjoy coming here.

Good site, close to town

A 2 night stay at this lovely site. access road is old fashioned cobbles, so do not bomb along, unless you want everything to fall out of the cupboards. Upon arrival had to queue at gate to get in, not a problem, but staff attitude left a lot to be desired, with a shouted DO NOT TAILGATE through the intercom, even though we was not moving and the access gate was down. Once in reception, the lady behind the counter was rude, never experienced this at any other sites before, so to say we was shocked was an understatement. Picked a pitch, reversed onto it, as per the diagram, for another staff member to come over and say all wrong and to move, when I said, I have parked as per the diagram, the comment was " I will tell you how to park, not a diagram". The site itself is lovely, with the local railway on the boundary, so nice to sit and watch the steam train moving backwards and forwards. Go out of the entrance and there is a lovely ice cream shop, highly recommended, we had 2 visits. Nice pub also there. Country park has a nice walk along the river, and if you walk far enough (not too far to be fair), you can get access right to the river edge, for a paddle, grandson loved it, and he learnt how to skim stones, also saw a dad and lad fishing there at the same time further round the corner. Got a taxi into Bury (£7 each way), to go to the market, can highly recommend a visit to the market, as well as a walk round the town Other than the staff, I would highly recommend this site, and if a different team there would not hesitate to go back.

Visit 8th August

This was our first visit to this site. It was a nightmare to get through the country park to the campsite it was so busy. The site is very open and was blowing a gale and the toilet block only allowed two people which unlike other sites who allow three was a bit of a pain considering how many vans were sited. I think it ll be good for families because it’s so open you can keep an eye on your kids but not for us.

First stay...not the last

Stayed over over a weekend 7th - 9th August and overall the site is very good, I would highly recommend. Right next to the country park it is a very quiet site (though I did notice that the pub garden was busy and noisy late on Saturday night when I walked the dog so if you have a pitch next to this it may be an issue?) Site is as clean as you would expect, large pitches (was very surprised about that but this was our first visit to a CMC site). Though have to admit I did wonder why they mowed the lawn on a busy weekend??!! They operated a wristband system re the showers and only two could use at one time which was understandabe...but a pain. Country Park is great..lovely wallks with the dog and the pub just outside site is ok...food was ok and the garden was very busy...absolutely no social distancing so if that is a concern stay away!! Have to say whislt is isnt the sites issue the road to and from the site is awful...from coming off the main road all the way through to the site. As I say, overall its a good site and we have already booked to go back...

King of the Mini Tractor

Someone need's to go out and cut the grass weekly. Or if you are going here then take your own lawn mower so that you have a nice tidy pitch, we will be doing next time. Looks like the place has not been mowed in weeks. Then suddenly on a busy Friday (why not on a quiet day) they decided to start cutting the grass to be fair it did take then 2 days! It didn't get like that in a day! Sadly Mr Grumpy is back. Rules are Rules with some new rules, gone are the do not let your dog wee on the fence to, Stay away from the fence. So some new rules, don't arrive early (Blocking the main road to the site is the new norm, don't take your dogs (they don't like dogs) unless he likes you, don't put your wind break on the grass (prison sentence for that), in fact do not enjoy yourself (punishable by death) Now to the toilets, I understand the covid19 restrictions but 2 people only in the gents? come on? But if your a lady then grumpy they allow's 3 people? sexist? s the ladies massive compared to the gents? not surprised with this rule from Mr Grumpy. The amount of people on the site complaining about his appalling attitude is unbelievable. We find it amusing now and very entertaining watching him march around or drive his little tractor around the site looking for his next victim, to bully, harass and upset. "Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely" king of the mini tractor!
