Clean friendly site, a steam engine persons dream site as train passes about 6 times a day on a weekend. Great to catch train from station

Friendly site, easy to find with sat nav. Easy instructions from friendly wardens. Other half loved the steam train passing regularly. We did catch the train and had a great day wandering around bury market and the transport museum (which was free with your steam train tickets) Facilities are clean warm and well laid out. Site was clean with plenty of room on the pitches and we were able to drive or reverse on so we could get a good view of the trains. Love this site and will be back again

Always Something Interesting

We have stayed at Burrswood a number of times, and it's always a great place to visit. The steam trains are naturally always a talking point, and it's great to see the trains steaming by, with happy passengers waving at you. Now, with the sites own station, it's possible to catch a train in either direction, Rawtenstall, or, Heywood.On our latest visit, we took the Metro into Manchester in order to visit the Museum of Science & Industry, where the Soyuz spacecraft that took Tim Peake to and from the International Space Station in 2016 is on display until May 2018. There really is plenty to see and do, We also managed a couple of the walks around the Burrswood Country Park, plenty of wildlife and interesting sculptures along the way. So, is it worth a visit?, well yes it certainly is, and we will surely be back again before too long.

A fun weekend.

Just spent 3 nights at this site, spring time with howling gales, horizontal snow, freezing temperatures, gusts strong enough to move the van, the grand children loved it ! The run in to the site over the cobbles is a bit rocky but the site is well laid out ,spacious ,clean and the staff are friendly and helpful, The access to the railway is not good for Wheel chair users so we took the car to the end of the line and boarded there, we all enjoyed it .When the weather is good the site will be a pleasure to stay at and we will be back.

A great site with easy access to a pub and The East Lancs Railway

Friends recommended the site to us and we were not disappointed. The site and facilities were spotless; always a good sign. The wardens were friendly and helpful. The Brown Cow is approximately 100m from the outer barrier to the site and is well worth visiting for the food and cask ales at reasonable prices. Hot drinks are also keenly priced. The East Lancs Railway runs right past the perimeter fence and Caravan & Motorhome Club members get a two for one deal on roamer tickets - a great deal and a great way of visiting some of the local towns. The bus stop to Bury is not far (approx 15 mins of slow walking), but be warned the buses run only hourly and there is a gap between 2pm and just after 5pm for the last bus. Hopefully, a fuller service will be in place during the summer months. It was windy whilst we were there and we "enjoyed" two inches of snow on the Saturday night. The site looked lovely, but we were leaving Sunday! No problems with the local roads though. Looking forward to returning when there is more sun and less snow.

Another Enjoyable weekend

This is the first time we have tried this site, even though it is less than 90 minutes away from home. The site itself is a little gem, well maintained and if you like trains you have a front row seat for the East Lancs Railway. Bury town centre and market is only a short drive away, or you can get a bus, or train. There is a small dog area on site although you really don't need it as immediately outside the gate you have access to the park where you can exercise you four legged friend(s). Also just outside the gate there is the Brown Cow pub. Good pub grub at reasonable prices....the ale was OK but then I am from Yorkshire!! The only issue we had with this site was the access. We have a large caravan and the access road was OK, even going over the cobbles, but there was some roadworks which did make it a little difficult getting in and out with the van on. Overall this site offered pretty much everything we wanted and needed or our view this is another place we can go so we shall be returning.

Fabulous Wardens

We stayed over during the 'Beast from the East' spell! Huge thank you to the week day and weekend wardens for all their efforts to keep us all comfortable and informed when the local water company decided to work on the water supply meaning there was no mains water during this time! Timing eh?!!! No one suffered and we all survived. Have to say it again - fab wardens and the local Bury people are so friendly.......and the steam trains passing the site are just tremendous!

Great Local Site

Great site to relax with the dogs, great park, friendly staff. Pub does decent pub grub and only a short way from site, another pub a little further on. Always been very clean and well managed. Staff very pleasant and helpful. East Lands railway runs across the bottom of the site and even if you are not a train enthusiast it is nice to watch them go past. Well done site staff.

Excellent site...once you’re in!

This was our second visit to this lovely site. It is only a few miles from our home and we have used it twice now as our first outing of the year to take the caravan out of storage and make sure it is water-tight and ship-shape for the season ahead. It is a lovely site, very well maintained and with a spotless toilet block. There is a lovely park to walk the dog just beside the site as well as the charming East Lancs Railway with it’s steam trains chugging by at weekends and holidays. My only problem was this - and I’m sure I’m not the only one to have experienced this. As it is close to home I was travelling to work from the site and heading back late at night. I had the pass card to tap myself back in to the site. Firstly, the sensor pad is on the passenger’s side of the car so any driver on their own has to get out and run round to open the barrier. Fine, but please allow sufficient time for the driver to then get back round to the rhs of the car and behind the wheel again before the barrier drops! I tried 3 times and, although I’m no athlete, I didn’t even come close! I’m sure this is something that could be simply rectified. I had to call my wife in our caravan for her to come and tap the sensor with the card to allow me to drive in. A silly situation which was the only “tutting” moment of our stay at this lovely site. We will be back but it is something that can surely be rectified.

Good trip to Burrs Park

Enjoyed 5 nights in February, been many times before and we are always pleased with our stay. Toilet block always clean and tidy, I agree with previous review about some people leaving the ladies showers in a mess, it doesn't take 2 minutes to clean up after your shower. The train station is great, we enjoy watching the trains pass the site. It's a must to go on Bury market, lots of other good shops there too. Manchester easy to get to on the Metrolink from Bury. Ramsbottom and Summerseat garden centre are worth a visit.
