  • Seaside escape 10 minutes' drive from award-winning Coldingham Sands
  • Watersports paradise: try surfing, kayaking, diving and bodyboarding
  • An hour’s drive from Edinburgh
They say being by the ocean is good for your health… If that’s true, a stay at Coldingham Bay Leisure Park, a site on the Berwickshire coast of Scotland, might be even better than an apple a day. Coldingham Bay is a top spot for seaside getaways, less than 10 minutes’ drive from the award-winning Coldingham Sands. This is Scotland, so you may not get the beach weather you’re dreaming of, but if the climate isn’t cooperating, go for a stroll along the shore and take in the view of the North Sea and St Abbs from one of Berwickshire’s few sandy beaches nearby. You don’t have to stay on dry land to see the Berwickshire coast – Coldingham Bay is a haven for watersports, and you can take to the seas for surfing, diving, sea kayaking and bodyboarding, all of which are within easy reach of the site. Back on site, let the kids burn off energy at the playground, then fire up the barbecue for an evening feast – pick up the necessary supplies from the shop a few minutes’ walk away in Coldingham. If you fancy a break from cooking, there are plenty of restaurants in Eyemouth, 10 minutes’ drive from Coldingham Bay.

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained site with friendly staff and generously sized pitches. Guests praised the excellent location, with easy access to local towns, beaches, and coastal walks. On-site facilities, including the bar and restaurant, were generally well-received. While most visitors had a positive experience, some noted that the toilet and shower blocks could benefit from an upgrade, and occasional issues with hot water were mentioned. Some found the site busy and experienced minor noise.

Quiet

Location

Disliked Very much a holiday park focussing on statics
Staff not very friendly, check in was a piece of paper and told that the entry road would be shut 9-1 the next day for resurfacing so we had to get up early and leave, or stay on site.
Shower block grubby and same rubbish in there for the whole 4 day visit.
Photos are of seasonal pitches, tourers seem to have only gravel and no hedges.
Pitch very close to neighbours and could see in 3 from our camper.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the coastal path, peaceful atmosphere, and location. We're sorry to hear that aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations, particularly around facilities, check-in experience, and pitch layout. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams to help us improve both the touring experience and guest communication. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (super)

Liked Good pitch with good facilities. Only stayed one night. Pub seemed nice and friendly, food was ok simple pub food, nothing to write home about but filled empty stomachs. Big tv with football on for those interested. There was a singer Sunday afternoon who we just missed as we arrived.

Disliked Not sure how busy the shower block will get with only two showers, but there are mainly static caravans with their own facilities so not sure how much of an issue this would be.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the pitch and facilities, and that the pub offered a friendly atmosphere and hearty food — even if it wasn’t gourmet, it did the job! Sorry you missed the Sunday singer; hopefully next time you’ll catch the entertainment.
Hope to welcome you back for a longer stay next time! 🍻

Local attractions

Ramblers, cyclists and adventurers of all types will be well served at Coldingham Bay Leisure Park. Start with a stroll along the woodland paths accessible straight from the site, then graduate to something a little more challenging: the Southern Upland Way starts a 20-minute drive away in Cockburnspath and the Berwickshire Coastal Path can be picked up at the nearby bay. In the land of 'the Scottish play’, it should come as no surprise that castles, historic buildings and ruins are in no short supply around here: explore the remains of Coldingham Priory 15 minutes’ walk away, or head to Preston Mill, Paxton House, Bamburgh Castle or Ford & Etal Estates, all within an hour of the site. Beer fans have come to the right place too – Belhaven Brewery, Scotland’s oldest working brewery, is half an hour’s drive away. Make the trip for tours of the 300 year old craft brewery, stories from the beers’ history and, of course, tastings in The Monks’ Retreat bar. If you’re seeking something a little more urban, Scotland’s capital is an hour away. Stroll along the Royal Mile from Holyrood to Edinburgh Castle, find Dean Village and Circus Lane in the New Town, play a round on Bruntsfield Links and climb Arthur’s Seat for views over the city. Edinburgh’s a paradise for foodies too, with everything from gastropubs to Michelin starred restaurants dotting the city.
