Interesting location

We stopped off at Bury for 2 nights on our way to the Lake District. The site is well kept, facilities very clean and wardens welcoming. Very well stocked shop. The country park is quite extensive, so don't judge the environs by the grass area immediately adjacent to the site. We took some interesting walks with our dog enjoying the industrial history of the site. Only drawback for us as fairly novice caravanners was the towing through centre of Bury!

Lovely site one of the best

Just stayed at this site for 7 nights over the bank holiday. Very well kept site with lovely friendly wardens, newspapers to order & a small well stocked shop. You can collect herbs from the garden for your own use, a nice touch not seen before on the many sites we have stayed on. The steam railway running at the back of the site was an excellent day out & value as we used the CC great days out voucher. The only drawback is the cobbled road leading to the site but otherwise no complaints.

Not What I Expected

I was really disappointed with this site... I had been told by others how lovely it was?? The site was clean and well laid out. The toilet/showers clean. It was the area the site was in that I didn't really like. The country park was a let down... and those damn cobbles and entering and leaving a real pain in the neck. I was not impressed with Bury either nothing of real interest apart from the steam train.. Sorry but I will not return to this site.

Enjoyable weekends

We've been here lots of times to mention and if you had to go of many of these comments a lot of people would not bother going. This is a great site for any one. Who wants to go and enjoy yourself. With bury market just down the road..... Less of the chitchat....

great site shame about the pub

This is our second visit here and we love the site, it's well kept, friendly wardens, everything you would expect. The only down fall for us was a very poor standard of meal at the brown cow pub, we had visitors for the day and decided to treat them to a meal out only to be served still frozen food, steak with no meat just fat and deep fried chicken breast which was greasy and Luke shoe leather, it was awful, after making a complaint we were ignored by the bar staff and landlady no appology was given and no offer of a refund, it spoilt our day with family and as a regular visitor to the site I will NEVER return to the brown cow again.

Disappointed

We stayed at this site for a little over 4 days and following a couple of ventures out, didn't bother again!!. The site itself is clean and tidy and the facilities adequate, the problem lies with the immediate area and so called country park, and quite frankly, where do I start : It is not as rural as we thought it would be and the misleading photos would suggest. The country park iitself is tiny and no bigger than my local town Park. It is very poorly maintained, with litter everywhere, including spent beer cans and shopping trolleys in the river. It is very close to a large estate and as such, attracts groups of teenagers congregating, drinking and smoking, which made us feel very uneasy. The local pub, rather than its signage celebrating its warm atmosphere and good food, it warns against the punishment for being found on the premises with drugs. Overall, if you are happy with staying on the site, it's OK, however, if like us when you venture off the site you want your surroundings to be rural, clean, tidy and to feel safe, be very guarded about booking this site.

Enjoyable week

Just spent an enjoyable week at Burrs. When you first arrive you need to pull up at the barriers, get out of van & call warden on intercom to raise barrier. Entrance road is cobbles which will rattle your van well & your teeth!. A fair was set up on the adjoining parkland but did not cause too much noise as it had limited operating hours. Site well laid out & facilities good. Steam railway runs across rear of site - well worth a trip on it from the station in Bury. Bury is walkable (20 mins) or by bus from the housing estate at the entrance to the park. Nice new shopping complex in Bury called the Rock. The tram from Bury will take you to Manchester for a day out. Good bus services from Bury allow access to good walking routes - we did a nice one along the canal from Littleborough towards Hebdon Bridge.

disappointed

very disappointed with this site. When the fair is there it is very noisy. The potential is there for this to be a stunning site. it is clean and reasonably well laid out. Not the most friendly staff, but OK. The WiFi when it is on is very slow and seems to only be on during office hours. Be very careful when driving as the approach once on the park is cobbles and very bumpy. The steam railway runs at the back of the site, which is nice and does not cause too much noise. we will have to think twice before coming here again

Relaxing Weekend!

Just had a relaxing bank holiday weekend at Burrs Country Park.The site is lovely and quiet but this weekend there was a Circus on in the next field which wasnt too much of a disturbance except for the low tones of their music being played til late.The cobbled road down to the entrance to the site was abit of a shock so do please take your time if you dont want to damage your van as i saw a couple of caravans being towed at speed!.the pub next door(The Brown Cow) is a great pub which we highly recommend for a pub meal.If you have dogs the park next to the site is long enough to tire them out.Toilet block is clean and is up to the usual caravan club standard.Overall we have enjoyed Burrs Country Park and will be back again and again.

Enjoyable Break!

Enjoyed 3 nights on this lovely country park site. Very tidy with clean facilities. Parked our Motorhome close to the East Lancs Railway line and enjoyed watching the steam trains go by. Pleasant half hour walk into Bury with loads of shops, market etc. Good walks from the site with two pubs close by. Trip to Rawtenstall on steam train well worth it.
