Standards of staff in decline

When we arrived our booking was wrong and we were told it was only for two days and not the four. It subsequently turned out she had read for two people not two days, no problem. I had forgotten to bring enough cash but had enough to pay for one night and explained that my wife would pay for the rest in the next few hours when she arrived. What a farce ensued. The whole booking had to be cancelled and two fresh ones made for 1 day and 2 days to get out total 4 nights after consultation with the head warden. Once I was in it was a hot day and I have a large twin axle van with a full size awning which I had to set up alone. Straight away another warden was over saying could I move the dogs lead spike as he could go onto next doors half of the grass, which I did but muttering under my breath. When walking the dog for a walk off the site he stopped for a number two which I cleaned up within seconds of him finishing. I was asked later by another warden to please take him off site if possible for that. How? Is what I thought. The grass was a little unkempt, water pressure poor, washer not working pretty unfriendly staff I thought. £31-50 per night £217 per week per van. Really??

Great Site!

We stayed a Burrs Park last weekend. I have to say after reading some reviews I was a bit wary of going but I was so impressed after staying there. The site is immaculate, the facilities are exceptionally clean (believe me I am a clean freak). Having the station on site is really good, we just jumped the train and tootled along most of the day, my two young Grandchildren loved it. Now the pub, a two minute walk, good food, great welcome and a little play area for the kids. I cannot rate this place high enough. Must admit I was expecting a parade of donned yellow jackets walking up and down the paths waiting to pounce but I never saw one, I didnt have a dog though so that may have been the reason. The weather was fantastic, the pitch was ample and even had a little area where we could set up the childrens badminton net, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done to the staff who work so hard to keep the place clean.

April visit for the first time

Facilities adequate, shower water pressure not great but we came out cleaner than when we went in. Shower block heating had failed & it was a bit cold being April no signage to that effect or a proper apology. Having said that it's camping so I'm not to bothered. Great location & we are returning next week for the Big Grill Festival on the Country park + the steam engines. As for the access road people have complained about the surface, just go slow it's not that bad.

Lost customer focus?

Having stayed here recently I was disappointed to note that some of the showers were closed off due to water pressure issues. I then went to wash our clothes in the laundry and found that out of action too. When I inquired if it would be repaired soon, I was told that there was an issue bringing the suppliers and electrician together with the site staff (who work hard to keep everything going) I could sense the frustration of the staff. Come on CC, where has your customer focus gone here???? Sort it out AS A PRIORITY!!

Not worth the money !!

We have just returned after a short break at end of June beginning of July for 8 nights. They were having problems with their boilers, it caused the showers to be reduced from 8 cubicles to 6. The Wardens patrol the site every night like a pow camp. The hand dryer did,t always work. The washing machine and the tumble dryer were broken so you couldn't do any laundry' The grass was very long it was alway soaking so you couldn't sit out. The path leading to the toilet was overgrown with bushes so you were soaked when you visited the toilet. you are not permitted to allow your dog to urinate or mess on site as there is no bins to dispose of your dog poo they tell you not to use any of their bins. The Brown Cow the pub just off the site; We went for a Sunday Lunch only to be told that they had been busy today and that they decided to close early so we had to go elsewhere. I wouldn't go back. I think they grossly overcharge.

Only stopped a night

Stopped just for one night on way home but long enough to know we have to go back. Pubs within walking distance. Chip shop as well but walk across country not recommended in the wet. Pitches well spaced and a good size. Very open aspect on site. Excellent facilities. Be warned, the approach is on cobbled road and is a particularly effective form of torture. Go very slowly. Why the local authority would keep road like this is beyond me.

Site for lovely heritage railway fans (ie my husband)

We went to Burrs so that my husband could have a trip on the North Lancs Railway. Last time we walked along the pretty paths that run often beside it but now there is a Halt at Burrs husband wanted the ride on the railway. He wasn't disappointed as he loved the ride behind steam engines and the diesel engine. We were fortunate to park just where we hoped and had views both over the railway line and Burrs country park. Had to believe you are in the middle of an urban area and one that was heavily industrialised in the past. it is just so pretty and so quiet too. Burrs country park is great for walkers with or without dogs. I was concerned about taking the dogs due to previous reviews of dog owners being told off for allowing their dogs to foul even though they picked up. I have an elderly 14 year old dog who wouldn't be able to hold herself until she walked very slowly to the country park BUT WE HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH ANY WARDENS. I picked up everything at once and put it the appropriate bin. Mind extra bins would be nice. I don't think this site is suitable for young children as there is no play area but it is a really lovely site and I think heritage rail enthusiasts will love it especially with the new super pitches being made along the edge of the railway. We were very happy with our 3 nights at this site and I am sure will return for both the pretty site, heritage railway and the lovely walks in the area for the dogs and us.

On reading some of the reviews I was concerned about the site, it had been well recommended by other members. But the reviews were not too good. We thought we better go and preview it first. It's beauty kept site. Real credit to the wardens. I have dogs and this seemed to be the problem with other reviews. So we asked them about this. Yes they inforce the rule that dog use the toilet area and he explained why. But appreciate that dogs some times do have accidents. This was the guy who wears the high vis jacket and been refered to as Dictator warden. First he didn't have the jacket on. He was very nice and not bad looking. My conclusion is. We will go and hopefully my dogs will be well behaved.
