Great site

We stayed here for a long weekend in early August 2016. Although we only live in Manchester it was one site I have been wanting to try for a while now and having just had a self levelling system fitted it seemed the ideal choice for a three night stay over a weekend. The staff were extremely helpful and facilities immaculate. The pub close by was a bonus as was the walking in the local area. Definitely coming back.

Does not welcome

I went Bury site this summer I was told by one of wardens that I could not walk my dogs on the grass I was hoping to get a picture of the steam train next morning I was approached by a rather strange man stating that I could not walk my dog on site or let them poo or urinate on-site it turned out to be a warden not in uniform hey can you stop a dog pooping or urinating I called him an idiot he stated he would see me in the office in 10 minutes

Grumpy Old Warden

Been coming to this site now for many years and its always be great……….. until my last stay.  I don't know if the wardens have changed or just getting disheartened or old but not very helpful or friendly.  It was mainly the old portly gentlemen who was the problem.  It was as if we were staying on his land and shouldn't have been.  We asked for a disabled pitch near to the disable toilets.  We did get a spot saved but it was 100 yards from the toilets.  Not good for someone disabled (good job I have a wheelchair).  Next problem was, he told me I couldn't walk the dog on the caravan park.  If that the new rules then so be it, but he never told anyone else on the park and just let then walk round infant of him. It a great shame as this site is lovely.  Always well kept, a great pub right by the site with lovely food and very friendly people and some lovely countryside to walk the dog on. If the Caravan Club get rid of this warden I would say defiantly visit.  If not either hope he's on his holidays or be prepared to feel like a trespasser on his land……

Lovely site.

It was my first visit and as a lady on my own, the wardens were very friendly and helpful. Everything was spotless. The warden seemed to be cutting the grass and keeping the site tidy everyday. The only negative is Bury itself. A lovely town but roads were very busy and I was a bit anxious towing the caravan and trying to keep in correct lane. However if I go again, I will know the way.

Second Visit

This was our second stay here this year and we will be back again before the year is out, that tells you how highly we rate this site as we live almost 300 miles away! Facilities are always spotless. Really easy to get in to Manchester by either catching a bus or walking to tram stationin Bury. If you come back late after a show in Manchester there is a taxi rank by the tram station, I think it was £9 back to the site. Make sure you go to Bury and go on the East Lancs Railway for a different view of the site and why not wave to all the caravaners!

A lovely stay

Having never been before we were unsure what to expect. No worries. The site was lovely and everywhere was spotless. An easy walk into Bury and the market just takes you by surprise. Didn't eat at the pub next to the site but it was always busy. Lovely to see the steam train passing and getting waves. Sadly the country park area outside the site has a lot of litter in it which is a great shame. My only negative was the length of the grass on site. We were on a grass pitch - by choice - but the grass was ankle deep...otherwise a great site. Sadly the one herb we wanted wasn't in the herb garden, but what a lovely idea.

Surprising

Had this site not been recommended by family members we would never have looked twice at a country park site just outside Bury. So glad we did, it's an absolute gem. The site is pristine (full credit to the wardens) and the "please help yourself" herb garden is a lovely touch. Facilities were of the highest standard of cleanliness and the site overall is extremely well kept. The pub is a plus with beer garden and play area and Burrs country park provides lovely views from the site as well as good cycling, walking etc. The cherry on the cake is the steam railway running at the rear of the site throughout the day. A visit to Bury market is a must - walking shoes and a compass are recommended - it's huge.

great site

Just spent 4 nights at this lovely site, it is immaculate in all aspects, good size level hard standing pitches, lots of well kept grass areas, the facilities are spotless, it is a real credit to the very friendly helpful wardens. steam trains pass by during daytimes and a local pub just outside the site. situated in a country park gives lots of good dog walks, a 20 minute walk into Bury, good shopping and bus & metro to Manchester.

Great site

We have stayed on this site twice and I really love it. I use the motorhome for work and it means my partner and dogs can come along. Site is dog friendly and clearly allows dogs. Unfortunately this stay was ruined by 1 person who seemed to believe the dogs should not be making any noise at all. They were fastened up as usual and barked a few times at people going by - the majority stopped to make a fuss of them even community police officers visiting the site. I was deep in thought working in the motor home when I was startled and shocked by a loud banging in the back window - I turned to find a man glaring into the motor home through the window. He did not speak but pointed his finger at the dogs. My partner went out to be informed that he was wanting a "quiet afternoon" and would go to the office if they did not shut up. Not wanting to make trouble was his parting shot. It made us very anxious and feel threatened. We went to the office to let them know and ask if we could move to another pitch to which they readily agreed. A lady opposite came out and said she was sorry we were going as she had been watching the dogs. She mentioned that children don't seem to be around making a noise like they used to on the sites. My thoughts are "live and let live" There are ways of speaking and communicating with people and had he come over and knocked on the door and spoken civilly we could have sorted it out. My advice to the gentleman wanting complete quiet is don't go to pet friendly / child friendly sites. Such a shame as I really love this site but not sure I will use it again. Washroom / showers / laundry / internet access / site wardens - all great. Pub next door serves lovely food. The park next door is great and the area is full of things to do. Access via barrier contributes to feeling safe and secure.
