A note from the site themselves...

We are a husband and wife team with 2 fluffy doggies. We've been the owners of Burton Springs Holidays for 2 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 where 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 guest to our beautiful peace of the countryside.
