5 Day stay,Pricey,and not a dog friendly site

Recent Stay for 5 Days at this site my overall rating is based on yet again not friendly wardens ( Caravan Club Site Police)and the state of the shower block which is in need of re tiling as most shower cubicles suffer from broken tiles. I visited the the toilet block at 6 am in need to be surprised all cubicles taken, actually 3 were locked out of use, same as some shower cubicles, both myself and another camper who arrived not impressed at all, ?? state at 9 am nightmare Apart from that the site location is fine, with the local pub friendly service. a lot of very close shops take away's and superstore shopping on the doorstep. We had a serviced pitch not by choice, as would have preferred only electric. Slight smell from the site grey waste soil outlet, but as this was at the rear of our outfit did not penetrate into caravan. Would stay here again if absolutely nothing else in area was available. Camped here after a week stay in Devon at Zeacombe House where you the very friendly owners do everything to welcome you and your family The approach road is cobbled and as long as you drive carefully and slow presents no problem.. The local railway is nice to see and hear the steam locos which it uses

WAS my favourite local site

This used to be my favourite weekend getaway site, 30 mins up the road and i`ve been going regularly for the past 10yrs, but i won`t be returning until the current set of wardens have moved on ! They are the most unhelpful, unfriendly and unwelcoming wardens i have ever encountered. Every question/request seemed to be too much trouble, huffing and puffing, we also witnessed other members being berated for really minor indiscretions. Dog owners are made to feel especially unwelcome due to the endless unofficial anti dog notices all over the site . Fortunately we have built up a good list of local CL`s for our weekends so the loss of this site from our list won`t be too hard to take, but hopefully not for too long.

Super Location

Super Location with lots of walks from the site, an old pub next to the site and a train station on the East Lancs Historic Railway. Please note though if hoping to watch the Steam Trains go by from the site, they don't run on Mondays or Tuesdays. We didn't bother with Manchester or Bury as we live quite close, the main reason for our stay was to take our new puppy in our Motorhome. We have always said how much people enjoy their dogs while on site nut felt that the number of notices all around this site aimed at dog owners left us feeling a little that the wardens don't really like dogs. We've never noticed signs before but then again have never taken a dog. Our dog was well behaved and we didn't have a problem so no worries. A lovely peaceful site in a very interesting locatoin.

What a little gem

If you have a dog that likes to run off lead & swim in a nice clean river then this is a great place to visit. Lovely well spaced huge pitches, Burrs Country Park next door, steam trains running along the East Lancs Railway & a pub just outside the entrance, what more could you want? Staff very friendly & happy to allow us a late check out. Definitely come again.

Pity about approach road

Approach road is terrible, about a third of a mile of cobbles . Even driving slowly I thought the van was going to shake apart. . Site itself is very nice with every pitch having a decent view , site facilities a bit tired but clean. Nice small dog run , we seat wouldn’t go amiss.

Enjoyable Stay

Wanted to check out later on the Sunday and I was disappointed to have to pay another nights site fees when there were approx 40 spaces available when we left at 7pm. I understand there are rules, but surely a late checkout fee is more appropriate than a full charge? The warden did say i could stay until 2 pm but unfortunately I wanted to leave later. Moaning over, I really liked this site. The facilities are in the center of the site so within easy reach for everyone. A really nice pub at the entrance to the site which gets busy if its a hot day, but even though our caravan was close to it we never heard any noise in the evening. Love the location and its pretty easy to get in to Manchester via the tram from Bury. The steam train is a pleasant distraction on the occasions it stops next to the site.

Book a meal.

Nice site with nice wardens and we noticed on arrival plenty of notices asking dog owners to behave and keep their charges on a short (2 mtr) lead, fifteen to twenty foot leads were in evidence, and of course there's always a leadless hound running around where ever they like once the wardens were off duty. However, a nice stay we had and enjoyed the park and the East Lancs Railway which is a must visit. If you like excellent food and service book a meal on the train, but beware, you need to think about eight months in advance.

Another great stay

Love this site, Why? Country park Dog friendly pub Newly opened cafe Bury shops and market Heritage East Lancs Railway steam & diesel + stop next to the site Great walks ..... all this within close proximity of the site, which is well cared for by the friendly and helpful wardens ( yes, I will buy a canopy 👍). Pitches are well spaced out. A credit to the club. Stayed for a week wish it was longer, perhaps next time.

Lovely peaceful site

Lovely peaceful site, but I believe it can be quite noisy if there is an event in the country park next door so worth checking before you plan your visit. Right on the doorstep of the country park next door with plenty of walks and some interesting industrial heritage. Nice doggy friendly cafe has just opened in the park. Fantastic views of the steam trains going past. Easy to hop on and go into Bury for the famous bustling Bury market. Great spot for exploring the North West area. Site spotlessly clean, staff friendly and helpful. Pitches nice and big so don’t feel cramped.

Burrs Lovely Country Park Site

Just had a wonderful three night weekend stay at the last minute thanks to the help of Sue on the site phone, as the web site booking system was playing up. Nice size pitches, well spaced out with good clean facilities despite the toilet block needing a bit of an upgrade. Great walks around the public park and great for dogs. Local pub dog friendly, a bit grubby with a basic food menu and quite expensive for what it was. Bury market is well worth going to and only a thirty minute walk away. East Lancs railway adjacent to the site but no steam trains at the moment due to the risk of fire as the surrounding area is very parched. Interesting Diesel Engine heritage weekend and trains are not intrusive. Site access has two security barriers, the first requires you to contact reception if you are checking in, otherwise use a key fob card. The wardens were very friendly to us throughout our stay, but be warned, we saw the site staff giving a well deserved telling off to a motorhome driver who decided to tailgate the car in front at high speed and he was lucky that the barrier did not drop down onto his vehicle. We will definitely return to the site.
