Usual CC standards

Usual CC standards. Clean. Well set out. The approach road needs attention as too many potholes. There is also a double entrance barrier. If you don't have a passenger you need to get out of your car to use the electronic key fob. I was a bit disappointed in the location. I thought Burrs Country Park was very small. It was also very muddy at the time of our visit. Handy for Bury Market, check out which days have an open air market. Not far from the usual shops, Tesco, Currys, Next, Boots just 5 mins drive away. Spar at the top of the road. Nothing special. Don't think I would stay again. No attractions for kids. Except for the park.

Burrs Park

A very nice site, well situated.When I was there unfortunately it never stopped raining,so the grass was too soft to walk on.However I would imagine that when it is dry and sunny it would be perfect.The caravan is on a hard standing gravel and if you have an awning then you need steel pegs.Just outside the barrier is the nearest pub,with good food and drink at reasonable prices. Bury market and town centre is just a 5 minute drive. I think a down side would be the approach road, which is uneven cobbles, and large pot holes, but if you are careful and aware, then you can avoid them. The facilities on site are well maintained and clean, and the wardens are friendly and helpful. There is a large green park next to the site so if you have a dog it's ideal for exercise. If I am down that way again I would stop there again.

Have enjoyed a great three days at this site. The wardens are helpful and the facilities are more than adequate and extremely clean. A beautifully kept site which is a pleasure to visit. Thank you

Great site

I stay at this site three times every year and love it. The site is clean and wardens are great. This visit however, I was disappointed to see that caravan two pitches down from me, had a dog and the owners let their dog roam free within the site. The dog seemed to use my pitch as a toilet. The mess was not cleared up, and because i left early in the morning, i didn't complain . I have no problem with people having dogs, but they at least clear up their dogs mess and keep them on a lead, as children play on the site.

not so friendly wardens !!

I stayed here earlier this month as I had time off from my jobs as it was my birthday ,found the wardens rude to me ,seems by looking at some of the reviews about them they pick and choose whom they are nice to ,suffice to say I have complained about them and the toilet block is only getting 1 tick as they weren't cleaned properly on the day I was leaving I went in after they had been opened after cleaning and found the sink in the privacy cubicles dirty and the mirror too ,I like this place as it's good as I have dogs ,I can walk into the park ,walk into the town and go into the pub next to the site with them too ,just hope the wardens have moved on ..

Calm oasis amongst the hustle and bustle

We have used this site several times and are never disappointed. We live fairly locally so often come here for a few days to unwind and relax. The area is great for both couples and families, the facilities offered by the adjacent country park seem to cater for most tastes and offers many activities from canoeing to abseiling to archery and orienteering. There are loads of walks from the site and the heritage railway passes right past the site giving an elevated view of the steam (and diesel) trains as they pass by. There is even an organised weekend “fun-run” (if you like that sort of thing!) on a Sunday morning. The walk along the river to Ramsbottom is well worth considering as Rammy (as it is called locally) offers a good selection of refreshment options (our favourite is the Chocolate Café, where you can sample delightful homemade chocolate in a vast variety of flavours) and nice shops. The walk takes a couple of hours and there is a bus back option if you only want to walk one way (Rosso bus number 477/478). The walk into Bury town centre takes about half an hour at a holidaymakers pace but there is the option to catch a bus which stops about 500 yards from the site entrance. Bury market attracts visitors from far and wide and is a must see if you have never been before. The Metrolink (tram) system gets you into Manchester City centre from Bury in less than half an hour. The wardens were very welcoming and friendly, the shop stocks a few essential items and newspapers are available to order at weekends. The adjacent pub serves nice food and drink and has a large enclosed beer garden with play equipment for children to keep them entertained whilst the adults put the world to rights. The site itself is mainly hard standings , most pitches are very flat and the toilet block is conveniently centrally located, the facilities are of the usual CC high standard and were very clean and warm, my only criticism would be that the shower water pressure was a bit weak for my liking (but adequate though – I just prefer a powerful shower). There are lots of great places to visit by car within a short drive of Bury and The Burrs is a good place to stay to get away from the crowds of the towns and cities. During our visit several new hardstandings were being created, we wondered how much noise there would be from the pub beer garden which backs directly onto some of them, maybe something to consider when selecting your pitch especially during the warmer months.

Lovely Site

Lovely site. Ideal for a short break. Close to town centre. Very clean facilities. Local pub is very welcoming and good food. Only negative is cobbles that you drive over near the entrance. Will definitely pay it another visit in the future.

Early February three nights.

Site was not too busy as it was early February.Although work is going on onsite the noise is not obtrusive and stops around 1700 hrs.Easy bus into Bury and then the Metro to Manchester Arndale shopping centre for a day out.This is our second visit and won,t be the last.
