Pleasant stay.....

Booked this site as it was near to where our daughter lived & enabled us to help with 'childcare' during the Easter holidays.... It is a very spacious site with plenty of grass areas around the hardstanding pitches..... The facilities are kept spotless by the hard working, friendly & accommodating wardens. Service with a smile. A special thank you to Sally & Peter. I'm sure they had plenty of complaints to deal with (& I'm sure the club will also hear about this to....) due to the loud, live event at the adjacent pub on Easter Sunday, which would have been a little more bearable if the 'artists' could actually sing!!!! The 'cobbles' on approach are an experience but is is an ideal location for a family stay but couldn't really recommend a stay of longer than 5 days..... For me, the East Lancs Railway was a bit of 'nostalgia' with the steam trains running although I can't be as enthusiastic about the views from the train as everywhere looked very tired & run down. The 2 for 1 offer for CAMC members reduced the overall cost & was happy to support this heritage railway. Would definitely stay again but not for so long.

Great site and excellent staff.

We have stayed here on a number of occasions and it never disappoints. The facilities are excellent, clean and well kept. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Nothing is too much bother. This site is our go to place while visiting the area.

Nice site

A bit of unseasonal nice weather and this was about our fifth choice as others were fully booked. Half empty the night we were there. Some noise from the back of the pub and you probably have to like dogs if you stay here, the surrounding park seemed to have an endless supply of yapping dogs regardless of how many (including our own) were on site. Otherwise a very spacious and tidy site and it was quiet at night. The steam railway runs behind it and there are the pub and a nice cafe ( only open Wednesday to Sunday I think) a few minutes walk away. Lots of little trails for ambling/ dog walking or cycling. I’m not sure what I’d do all day if I stayed more than a couple of nights but pleasant for a short stop ( especially if you have a sociable dog!).

Still one of the best

Stayed here quite a few times as it is just down the road and perfect for a quick getaway. We have not managed to get a spot for the last couple of years but were pleasantly surprised to see everything in order and no great changes since our last visit. New Wardens had everything under control and as usual the site was spotless. One noticeable difference was the fact that boards had been erected asking people not to walk through others pitches that were totally ignored. I feel the the "Pitch Etiquette" of old has, unfortunately, become a thing of the past along with the demise of the caravan. I believe Motorhome and Caravan Club would better describe the club today! Anyway. Site superb, Wardens excellent and there are Steam trains. Highly recommended along with the Beef and Onion Baguette from the Brown Cow just off site :-)

Hidden Gem of a site

Stayed 04/03/22 weekend just gone - what a lovely site - only an hour away from us! Stayed on a service pitch with the steam trains passing back of Motorhome- what a treat! Unfortunately our heating didn’t work (on our brand new van) and despite best attempts we couldn’t get it working - however I called into reception to ask for quickest walking route to town to buy a heater and the lovely female warden offered us her own oil filled radiator- Couldn’t be more helpful! Site facilities spotless and usual caravan club standard. Burrs Country park is lovely to walk round - pub next door and cafe opposite- and of course the East Lancashire Railway next door with 2 for 1 tickets - Didn’t try this time but already booked to go back at Easter will definitely try then! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!

Last minute getaway

28th January 2022 to 31st January 2022. Booked a serviced pitch for three nights, arriving on the Friday afternoon and leaving on Monday morning. Several previous reviews have mentioned the cobbled approach road, and that is definitely an experience!!! It does get very busy with parked cars and pedestrians so you do need your wits about you with plenty of dogs, excited kids and distracted adults bimbling about. I managed to get a pitch next to the East Lancs Railway Line and it was fantastic being so close to the stunning locomotives as they passed the site. Water pressure was low, so it took quite a while to fill the tank with water. Facilities and staff were first class. Only minor irritation came when I went to use the motorhome service point and discovered the waste disposal grate didn't match with my outlet pipe without leaving the motorhome overhanging the service road. We'll definitely be staying again.

Bigwig Toy Poodle Reports

Friendly, clean and bonus of happy stream train passing by. Burrs Country park seems very popular with dog walkers as this was the bark holiday weekend. Great if your dog is sociable like me but my big kennel mate is not so gregarious so that was a limiting. There are two places to eat nearby but did not try them as we were self catering on this occasion. Nice big pitches and her indoors reports good showers and loo facilities. Would go again.

Superb Christmas break

We stayed at Burrs in the summer and returned for over Christmas as it’s local and there’s lots to do in the area. We love this site. The wardens are very friendly and it was great to see so many caravans lit up with Christmas lights and the steam trains full of happy people of all ages. Hoping to return soon.

New years eve short break

We arrived New Years eve and stayed for 3 nights, staff were friendly and welcoming and facilities were very clean. The pitch was a good size and flat a bit muddy due to the rain. The site was nearly full and it was lovely to see some of the caravans still with Christmas lights on their outfits. We were treated to a beautiful display of fireworks from the surrounding areas, which went on from 7.30 to after welcoming in 2022! The site was surprisingly quiet and everyone we met were really friendly. The East Lancs railway was at the back of the site and it was great to see the steam trains stopping at the station and then onward journey. There is lots to see and do, Burrs Country Park has several areas for walks. Sunday was a complete washout weather wise. We had a lovely meal at The Brown Cow which is just a few minutes walk from the site. The pub is very friendly and also dog friendly,there must have been at least 10 dogs in and there was no fighting or barking. A great stay and we will certainly be back soon.

Great New Year stay

We had a last minute trip to Burrs Country Park for New Year. We stayed for two nights, 31st and 1st. The site was lovely - very quiet, lovely, clean and safe facilities and the site staff were very helpful. Our pitch was spacious, flat and nice and dry (compared to the grass which was sodden, not surprising given the weather!!) We walked into Bury which took about 20 minutes. We stopped at both the Garsdale Inn and the Brown Cow on the way back for sustenance. No food (as it was New Years Eve and both pubs were fully booked for food) but a swift half to gird our loins for the walk 😁 Day two, we took advantage of the 2-for-1 tickets (for club members) on the East Lancs railway. We did the full line trip which was lovely and had a break at Ramsbottom for a walk up to Peel Tower and a Lancashire Rag pudding for lunch. Highly recommend this for a day out. You can break your journey at any or all of the stations. We would highly recommend Burrs Country Park and will definitely be returning with our bikes in the summer.
