2 Nighter

Stayed for 2 nights, wardens very friendly and helpful. Taxi into the centre is around £5. The motorhome service point is not in the best place. Take a long hose with you as you can only enter it one way and if your fill up point is on your offside you could struggle, no turning round is allowed and the water pressure on site is not the best. Would I stay again......if I had to use it as a stopover.

Standards

Visited Burrs Country Park 18th to 21 Nov. A site which we have visited many times over the last 5 years. I feel that the standard of keeping up the pitches had dropped. Appreciate that it is Nov but a lot of pitches need attention. The pitch we were on was mainly sandy ,needed weeding not much gravel,good job I didnt take an awning. Pegs would not have held. No base. The site is good and handy for lots of places. Other than that the visit was perfect. Clean and tidy facilities . Wardens were fine.

Burt's Country Park

Nice site and lovely walks for dogs. Pub and cafe on doorstep. Great for anyone interested in steam trains. Nice staff, very welcoming, facilities could do with a slight update but very clean. Will be back again sometime in the future.

A jewel in the crown

Second visit to this site, albeit very brief! What a lovely surprise, being so close to the centre of Bury! Staff lovely, nothing too much trouble. Facilities spotless, lovely showers. Lovely everything really! Would highly recommend.

Enjoyable stay for East Lancs Railway Autumn Steam Gala.

Bought our first caravan in March and was determined to visit this site for the East Lancs Railway Autumn Steam Gala as I had seen the site on previous occasions when visiting past Steam Gala's and thought what a great site to be on if ever we bought a caravan. Well, we bought one and visited and was certainly not disappointed. The site is very well presented and well maintained and the staff are ever so friendly and so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The only slight complaint which came from the wife was the rusty radiator which greeted you as you walked into the ladies toilets. But seeing as the hand drier was situated right above it there was nowhere else for the water to fall apart from on the radiator. Will definitely be returning for next years Spring Steam Gala but will be staying a few more days instead of the four we have just stayed for. It's the best site we've visited out of five others around Lancashire and Cheshire that we've been to since buying the caravan.

Another great weekend

Had a great weekend once again at Burrs. There have been a few negative reviews regarding too many notices posted around the site mainly about dogs making a mess and quite rightly so ! I fully agree with what the wardens are saying we took our dog into the dog walk and promptly stepped into some poo yet there is a bin provided next to the access gate- how tired can people be ! The wardens do a great job but some folk just don't like rules or think they don't apply to them....

Great lo action in country park but also very handy for Manchester on the tram

Nice stay here on a recent weekend. Great location but also handy for a trip to Manchester. Went there on the Saturday for a concert. £4.00 taxi (using number recommended by the wardens) or 45 minute walk to tram Station in Bury. When we were there it looked like there were too many serviced pitches. The other pitch types were full but lots of empty serviced ones. On the pitch we were on we had to route our hook up cable under the van to reach the electric point which was some distance away, after being told off for joining it with our short lead at first. We realised afterwards this was specifically in the site info so assume it's a common issue so maybe club needs to spend some money on the standard pitches. The gravel was looking very tired on a lot of those pitches

Excellent service from the wardens.

Burrs is a very popular site particularly when a steam engine event is on. My husband and I have just visited over such a weekend and it was extremely busy. Due to my husband having an anxiety issue we moved pitch 3 times. The lady warden could not have been more understanding despite it being time for her to finish for the day. She dealt with the situation with kindness and diplomacy and I cannot thank her enough. We had a lovely weekend after a traumatic start, and have just arrived home feeling calm and relaxed.

What a lovely site!

As a new member I am reading some negative comments about this site so obviously I need to visit more club sites to get a comparison but I thought this was a great site. Spotless, great facilities. Amazing views and local history and sitting outside with my glass of wine catching up on my emails to the sound of the steam train choo chooing past was unexpected, even had a wave at everyone waving at us so it was a lovely experience indeed. Loved how they had a booth we could walk into to see lots of information on the local area, even a plaque explaining what animals would be about and flowers that were blooming, books to borrow etc. Will definitely be back for a longer stay. Staff were wonderful.

Tired

Another enjoyable stay in my old home town, site is starting to look a little tired and obvious that the cleaning time in the facilities has been cut back Also appears to be more signs appearing DO NOT OR PLEASE DONT. Warden was very pleasant until things went wrong but then a little brusque to say the least. After all said I will go back my grand parents worked in the mill near to where the site is situated.
