Motorhome - Electric Grass And Hardstanding PitchesFeb 2026

Our first ever trip in our (new to us) motorhome. Burton Springs was a challenge due to weather conditions, but the owners and team were first class. So friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Excellent stay, and helpful hosts

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass And Hardstanding PitchesSep 2025

A very nice set up - well located with good walks in the immediate region. The facilities were fine, very good en suite bathrooms and well positioned caravan sites. Gareth was extremely helpful if assisting me take down my caravan awning following it collapsing in strong winds - he was very attentive and I am most grateful to him.

Lovely weekend break

A note from the site themselves...

We are a husband and wife team with two fluffy doggies, and we have been the owners of Burton Springs Holidays for two years. We decided at the beginning of the pandemic to take a leap of faith and change our lives. So some internet searching, sailing across an ocean, and hey presto, we were lucky enough become the very proud owners of Burton Springs.

As a small site, we very much believe in the personal touch and are always around to give advice on local attractions, information on the fishing or just a chat. We really love that family feeling and treat everyone as our guests to our beautiful piece of the countryside.
