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.

Superb site, we will return!

We were booked here for 3 nights, we arrived just as the light was fading so it was a lovely welcome to see all the festive lights and the beautifully lit Christmas tree. Check in was swift and we were told to pick any white marked pitch. We chose pitch 64 which was pretty central. We had a few issues with EHU but this was quickly resolved after hubby spoke to reception staff. We'd planned to visit Bury on our first day which was a 20 minute walk into the town centre via road onto footpath, information on this route is in your welcome leaflet. Before we left is was lovely to see the East Lancs Railway steam trains passing with the 'Santa Specials'. We would have booked a trip on the trains but the normal timetable was not in use to accomodate Father Christmas, but it's something we'll do on return visits! Bury is a lovely town with plenty of shops etc and Bury market is amazing! Lots of free samples offered in the food hall, bought some delicious cheeses and the obligatory black puddings! Due to the amount of shopping and as it was going dark, we opted to get the B1 bus from the interchange which dropped us about a 5 minute walk from the site. The bus does turn off into a housing estate so be aware where you need to get off! The Brown Cow just at the entrance to the site is a lovely quiant old fashioned pub and we did have a few drinks in there. We also had Sunday lunch but we weren't impressed by the food. There's also a coffee shop which each morning had Carol singers outside which was lovely. When we left on the Monday the coffee shop seemed closed. Lots of walks on your doorstep through Burrs Counrty Park, we did the Irwell sculpture trail which was brilliant along the river and up past the weir. We also walked up to the station which is at the back of the site, just as Santa's train came through, so it was lovely to get and wave and see all the families with their Christmas hats on having fun! This site is very well laid out, all the staff we met were extremely friendly. The tiolets/showers were very clean, though I felt the shower water was a bit cool. All toilet blocks are closed for cleaning between 10.30 & 12, but a good addition was the 'spare' toilet while this was happening. We've been to many sites where there were no extra facilities while cleaning took place. This is a site we'll definitely return to maybe in the summer months and make sure we enjoy the steam train.

Poor cleanliness

Stayed 7 nights in December 2021, lack of cleaning of the backs of doors was prominent, smear of blood for 4 days dirty marks for the duration of our stay, due to Covid I would have expected more stringent cleaning. The site was busy & full at the weekend but shower cubicles, toilet cubicles & privacy cubicles locked throughout so giving less choice & patrons having to use same cubicles more. In these unprecedented times I would have expected all cubicles to be available. An unlit water point at the back of the site, could be an accident waiting to happen, water pressure not very good at all either. On a brighter note the Brown Cow pub outside the site still serves very good food at reasonable prices.

Back again

Another trip to Burrs as my pal lives in Greater Manchester, wife wanted to visit the Christmas Market too. Nice open site, quiet and a 15-20 min stroll to the town centre. Easy to get public transport of your choice into the city main areas, we used the Tram to Victoria...25 mins. Facilities clean as you expect on a club site, site staff a credit to the club. Saturday was Rained off with a storm but being self contained we didn't need to go out, Santa Special Trains were running up and down the adjacent steam railway. We'll be back but not sure how the clean air zone will work, if we are charged to enter then we won't be back

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.
