Burr's Aug 2015

A pleasent return to this little gem of a site. Having first visited just after opening way back when it was good to return. Nothing negative to report, All facilities spotless & staff friendly & helpful. Many peoples reviews point out people cutting through pitches ! We observed this throughout the weekend. Very annoying but i think some blame should be taken by designers of these sites. ( Although manners should prevail ! ) It's almost human nature to take a direct route and they should really design a straight through pathway to the site's facilities. Anyway great site fab weekend loved the market & East Lanc's Railway.

Spotless facilities and site

This was our first time using a Caravan Club site and the first time we have ever been out with a caravan! It feels like we may have spoilt ourselves too soon in the new chapter in our lives of caravanning! The facilities and site were spotless throughout, Reception was very helpful. Off the site was the pub for the thirsty and hungry amongst us and for the dog, Burrs Country Park was literally minutes away for them to stretch their legs and have a paddle. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our first experience and hope it is the first of many.

Peaceful site, great for dog owners

I can highly recommend this site. Just returned from our second visit of the year. We were visiting relatives in the area. Peaceful site, immaculate facilities. Site was quite full but never felt busy or rushed, plenty of room in showers and toilets whenever we required them. Handy location for buses and walks. Brilliant for dog walking in the Country Park next door (lots of different walks to find). River for the dog to swim, pottery remnants for kids (and adults!) to find in there too. Nice walks around the former industrial mill area, surprisingly picturesque for Bury (where I grew up). Handy to be able to visit Manchester easily on the Metrolink (no dogs allowed though). Good walk from Ramsbottom (a stop on the East Lancs Railway) up to the top of Holcombe Hill. The first time we visited we ate at the Brown Cow. Never again! Terrible vegetarian offerings and under-cooked frozen chips. Can highly recommend the Victoria Hotel in nearby Walshaw (10 minute drive up Tottinton Rd/ Walshaw Road). Very friendly and accommodating, dog friendly, great food at very reasonable prices. Visited both times we were at Burrs and they were consistently good. We'll be back to the site and the Victoria Hotel!

Up there with the average Club site

All you would expect from a club site ie clean, all facilities work, quiet etc. The staff were very friendly and perhaps above average. The only negative observation that I would make was that the male toilet cubicles got busy in the morning and probably could have done with an additional one. That said, they were kept in an immaculate condition. The Brown Cow pub is very convenient as it is situated adjacent to the site gates. The prices are reasonable. Although we have been to this site previously we hadn't previously noticed that the off road cycle path located down Woodhill road goes 2 ways. One way goes to Bury town centre whilst the other goes to the Toby Inn at Greenmount. From here (Toby Inn) you can cycle to Ramsbottom although this stretch is mixed on / off road. Thanks for a nice break

Very Impressed

This was our first visit to a Club site since becoming members and we were very impressed by what we experienced at the Burrs. The welcome was friendly, the facilities were spotlessly clean, and the site was very well maintained. The location is excellent and was very central for us visiting friends in Bury and attending a wedding in Rochdale. I would happily recommend the Burrs to anyone and would also highly recommend a visit to the Brown Cow Pub next to the entrance. The food and drinks were great and they have a huge childrens' play area outside.

Good but not cheap.

Our second visit to Burrs did not disappoint - but there again it was Bury we really wanted to visit and altho £76.50 for three nights is not cheap it was convenient and we will no doubt be back - off peak!

Just as good as last time !

Visited this site for the second time . Our main choice for location was due to visiting relatives in Manchester . Site was immaculate, views beautiful (especially when the steam train went by!).Burrs park itself is well worth a walk around . We spent an afternoon at the Granada studios tour which we'd highly recommend and we also recommend the food and welcome at the Garsdale Pub just outside the entrance to the park .A visit to Bury market is also a must! Well done Burrs Country Park ,thanks for a great holiday!

Fabulous

We have visited this site before as guests but this was the first trip in our caravan. It seems funny when you tell people you're staying in Bury, but this site is a real gem. Spotless toilet/shower block, immaculate site. We were blessed with great weather which always helps. The country park is lovely & a couple of pubs nearby makes it near perfect. As Browknee said on an earlier review, lots of people cut through your spec, which is extremely rude in my opinion. That however is a member issue, not a club one. Don't let this stop you going though. It's the best club site we've visited. First Class.
