Brilliant site

My wife and I have stopped at this site on many occasions the staff are always very pleasant and Happy going The site is always very clean and tidy .It is very well located for easy transport into Manchester from Bury , The site is also great for walks around the park and up the river. We were at the site the last weekend in November 2021 when there was a power cut around 5.30pm no electric for the whole night however the staff stayed around till around 11,30pm letting people know about the electric being off they did everything they could, next morning engineers turned up and reinstated the power happy days. definitely would recommend, looking forward to returning

4th time at Burrs and its still great and nicer wardens

Still a lovely spot with great walks and Bury on your doorstep, lovely pub at the entrance with another about 300 mtrs away which is now open again after renovation. We will continue to visit Burrs as it suits us perfectly..

Quick stop over

Site very clean and well maintained and friendly staff, dog wash and allocated dog field a bonus although there is a beautiful country park to walk in next door, depending how far or energetic you are feeling it is very pleasant with a wheelchair/pram friendly path if needed, yes there are people who are ignorant and cut through your pitch but this isn't the sites fault and it happens on a lot of sites but it is annoying all the same, Burrs is well worth a visit.

Well maintained and great location

We’ve recently stayed for 9 nights over August Bank Holiday at this site which is local to us and we’ve had a fabulous time. The wardens are very welcoming and keep the site to a high standard. The site is wonderfully located in the heart of the Country Park and near to the market town of Ramsbottom and the larger town of Bury.

Excellent site.

We stayed here as we were travelling on the Flying Scotsman. Excellent access to the steam trains and our pitch backed onto the train-line so we had excellent views as the Flying Scotsman steamed past. The site in in a country park so there are walks/cycle routes as well as parts of the sculpture trail. Comments have been made about lack of activities, well it depends on what you want to do. We did our homework before booking and were very happy with the site. Comments have been made about members “cutting through pitches. This did not seem to be a problem to me and if someone walks on the grass between my hard standing and the next I smile politely and say hello. I don’t consider this “my bit” (many walked across the grass to get a photo of the flying Scotsman) Outside the control of the site but worth a mention:- The brown cow pub stopped serving food at 5.45 on a bank holiday in August (a tad early we felt)and the lamplight cafe did not serve coffee? Would we return - yes Couple in our 60s (but young at heart) Di n Mike

Lovely Location

Had a lovely time here, perfect location, sadly the stay was spoilt by people cutting across pitches, although the staff do have notices up asking guests not to do this, we have been members for nearly 30 years, and feel the standard of the members has dropped, every club has rules, but people don’t seem to want to abide by them any longer, apart from this we did have a couple of wet days, which weren’t a problem, but don’t understand why the warden had to cut grass in these far from perfect conditions, what made it worse was the tractor didn’t have a collection box for the cuttings, consequently wet grass was everywhere, the facilities were a mess as were peoples awnings and outfits. The same patches of grass were mown , and on the return of the other set of wardens, they went over the same areas, although it was clear to see what had been done. apart from this we would return as it is a very lovely spot.

Nice site, but didn’t work for us.

This was our first visit to Burrs. We were looking for a stopover travelling south from Scotland and wanted to try somewhere new. Let me be clear that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the site. It is well maintained by friendly and helpful wardens. It has a surprisingly rural feel given its urban setting, plus it has steam trains running past the site. However, for us it is too far away, and awkward to get from the M6, when travelling from the north to use as a stopover. There are more convenient options. Reviews are always subjective, aren’t they? But we didn’t find much of interest in the area, apart from the steam railway. Burrs Country Park is pleasant enough for a gentle walk, but nothing to write home about. Bury has plenty of amenities, but its charms were lost on us. It just seemed to be another busy town, with nothing of great interest. I know people rave about the indoor market, but the last thing we want to do on holiday is go shopping. In the past three months we have stayed on twelve sites in The Highlands, the East Coast of Scotland, the Lake District and the Cotswolds. I’m afraid if we were rating theses sites, Burrs would be number twelve. Again, nothing wrong with the site itself, the area just doesn’t have what we’re looking for. I am sure for many they will have a perfectly pleasant stay.

A lovely stay with excellent service

Stayed here as my son loves trains. A fantastic site. Ideal for wheelchair users, the grounds are flat and level with easy access to Burr's Country Park. Disabled toilet and shower facilities really clean and equipment had been well thought out. The train station also has ace for Wheelchairs to board the train easily. Most if all excellent customer service from the lovely friendly wardens. We ran out of gas part way through cooking (as is always the case). The club shop had shut but the warden sold us more gas even bringing it to our caravan and taking the old one back. Absolutely fantastic!! A lovely stay and hope to revisit in the future.
