  • Family park half a mile from Coldingham Sands beach and watersports
  • Within 5 minutes' drive of St Abbs and Eyemouth; an hour to Edinburgh
  • Kids' club, indoor golf, outdoor play, chippy, spa and bar and grill
Find your way to Scoutscroft Leisure Park for adventures at the seaside or the city: this well-placed park is an easy half a mile from spectacular and award-winning Coldingham Bay beach and just over an hour’s drive from the sights and shops of Edinburgh. There’s loads to do on site too (this is a firmly family-friendly park), including indoor miniature golf, a kids’ club, a snooker room and an outdoor play area. Food and drink is sorted for all tastes too at the fish and chip takeaway for quick bites (perhaps on the beach…?) and the Sands bar and grill for breakfasts, lunches, evening eats, snacks and a wide selection of bevvies ranging from soft drinks to cider. Drink up, then drink in the scenery: Scoutscroft is close to the Berwickshire coast and the Scottish Borders, handily placed for weekends away or longer hols exploring sandy beaches and nature reserves. To take the excitement up a notch, watersports including surfing, kayaking, diving and bodyboarding are easily sorted from the park; elsewhere, days out at local port town St Abbs and harbour town Eyemouth are within less than 10 minutes’ drive. These places are also where you can pick up provisions at supermarkets… or simply meander between the two on a coastal hike.

What customers say

This holiday park offers excellent value with its clean, comfortable, and well-equipped pods, praised for their warmth and affordability. Guests highlight the fantastic location, ideal for coastal walks and beach access. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a positive overall experience. While most facilities are well-maintained, some visitors note that the toilet and shower blocks could benefit from modernisation and are a walk from the pods.

Camping pod (superior)

Liked Lovely site, nice staff in the bar area. Indoor golf and breakfast is closed just not showing on site yet. Pods are great for somewhere to crash for a couple of nights for a reasonable little getaway. Clean site. Kids absolutely loved it

Disliked No breakfast times open

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the site, found the pods perfect for a short escape, and that the kids had a blast—that’s exactly the kind of experience we love to create. It’s also great to know our bar staff made a positive impression.
We appreciate your note about the breakfast and indoor golf not being clearly marked as closed. That’s definitely something we’ll look into to make sure future guests have accurate info upfront. Your feedback helps us fine-tune the details that make a stay truly seamless.

Roxanne A.

Camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked The pod was great! Great price also. Could not fault at all. Beach was fantastic.

Disliked We arrived clubhouse to be told the Bar stopped serving 9.15/9.30
No entertainment which was fine as it was a Sunday.
We were told once the people drinking finished the whole place would shut. We hung around the arcades until then but didn’t feel welcome and as soon as we left out the back door the door shut & locked right at the back of us. I get they were not serving and shutting but a simple sorry about that would have been fine and when shutting the door right at the back of us walking out a ‘good night’ or even ‘bye’ would have been nice. We were 4 adults 7 children and it was not giving holiday vibes. Would stay in the pods again but would totally avoid the clubhouse now.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the detailed feedback Roxanne! We're thrilled you loved the pod, found great value, and enjoyed the beach — that’s fantastic to hear.
We’re really sorry about the experience at the clubhouse. It’s understandable that the abrupt closing and lack of a friendly farewell felt unwelcoming, especially with a large group. That’s not the atmosphere we aim to create, and your comments will be shared with the team to help improve guest interactions.
We’d love to welcome you back — and hope next time feels more like the holiday you deserve. 🏖️✨

Excellent value for money great for a family. Definitely recommend.

Local attractions

Hikers might want to pack their boots for a stay at this site: the Southern Upland Way starts a 20-minute drive from Scoutscroft Leisure Park in Cockburnspath and the Berwickshire Coastal Path can be picked up at St Abbs Head Nature Reserve a 10-minute ride away. Not up for getting in the car? Coldingham Priory is less than 10 minutes on foot for checking out architectural marvels closer to home. For more wanders around historic buildings, Paxton House is a 25-minute drive from the park while Bamburgh Castle – where scenes from one of the Transformers franchise was filmed – is 45 minutes away. The 16th-century Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island takes about the same amount of time to reach and is a must-visit for its memorable views out to sea. Vistas soaked up, guests can learn about local history at Eyemouth Museum, a 10-minute drive from the park, or journey over to Berwick-upon-Tweed (a 20-minutes drive away in Northumberland’s most northerly tip) for explores around Elizabethan walls and the town's galleries. Urbanites can also head to Scotland’s capital in an hour to roam the Royal Mile and scale Arthur’s Seat.
