Terrific Site for Christmas, fantastic for dog walks and steam trains
We stayed at Burrs for Christmas 2017, it was our first visit to the site and we were delighted with it. The site is really well planned and a great location. We went for a serviced pitch and this was excellent with great TV reception and all facilities ideally located. We chose a pitch that backed on to the railway line, which was an absolute delight to have the steam trains going past. It was a fantastic sight when it was going dark and the diesels stopping at the nearby stop was an opportunity that we will make use of when we return.
The facilities were all well kept and the wardens very helpful, with some useful suggestions for walks and also when we needed to find a shop to buy some extra dog towels. The local Tesco superstore was an enjoyable 1/2 hour walk away.
We went with our dog and the country park was great for walks, lovely and enclosed with lots of other dogs around and a fun Santa run on the Sunday Christmas Eve morning. The only downside of our trip was nothing to do with the site, but merely the weather which was rather wet, hence the extra dog towels. We will definitely return to the site and make more use of the walks when the weather is a bit kinder!
Of particular note is the Brown Cow Pub, it's just outside the site, opposite the park entrance. The staff were very helpful to us, as we had only recent adopted our rescue dog and she's quite nervous so they were terrific in reserving us a corner table when we ate there on Christmas Eve. The menu and service were great and we will definitely be going there again when we next stay at Burrs Country Park.
Overall a lovely site for a relaxing and very enjoyable Christmas, we will definitely be back.
