Surprisingly peaceful
Having stayed a couple of times, I thought I ought to provide a review of what I think is an excellent facility that more than meets the standards I have come to expect from the Club. Reception was friendly and informative and I was allowed to find my own pitch. This was bang on level and handily placed for facilities. These were modern and immaculately maintained. Everything [ including laundry] that I hoped for was there.
Access is a bit of a bind -- a long cobbly bit after a narrow street or two of housing - made for slow but not particularly demanding progress.
A steam railway runs along the edge of the park -- not any irritation -- no trains at night -- just the pleasure of watching some of the beauties of a byegone age from the comfort of your own van.
Handily enough placed for Greater Manchester and Lancs cities. I now know there is enough here to justify a longer stay. Given its location beside a railway in the what a rural Scot like me regards as slap bang in the middle of the industrial North West, I found it really quite rural and peaceful.
There is a pub about 100 yards from the entrance and although it seemed like a tied house or a chain pub the ale was good and the food [I had fish,chips and mushy peas for £8.00 odd] good value for money -- home made chips, freshly prepared fish.
