  • 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

Pitches are frequently described as spacious and well-serviced. The location is praised for its proximity to walking routes, beaches, and villages. Staff are consistently noted as friendly and helpful. However, multiple reviews highlight the toilet and shower facilities as dated, in need of renovation, and sometimes lacking in cleanliness or supplies. Some guests also mentioned issues with Wi-Fi and noise from bird-scaring devices.

Jen M.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (super)

Liked Restaurant and bar were lovely with big portions. Site was clean and tidy. Only a short walk away from some local shops, a spar and some pubs. Beautiful surroundings.

Disliked We had requested 2 pitches together/nearby as we were travelling with friends. We were given pitches at complete opposite ends of the touring area. My friends elderly mum was with them and had to walk all the way to the toilet facilities as they completely refused to move our pitches even though the place was only 1/4 full when we arrived. We had to spend the weekend walking back and forth. Not a huge deal but very frustrating when we put a request in way in advance and the whole reason for the trip was to be with our friends! We were told the reason we could not be put together was because we booked through Pitch up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Jen. We're so pleased you enjoyed the restaurant, bar, and the beautiful surroundings. It’s great to hear the site and nearby amenities added to your stay.
We’re truly sorry to hear about the issue with your pitch allocation. We understand how important it is to be close to friends, especially when traveling together, and we regret that we couldn’t meet that request.
Thank you again for your comments — they help us improve.
Best wishes, Team Verdant 🌿

Jacqui N.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (super)

Liked Great park great facilities

Disliked We didn't like the pitch much as our caravan was under trees and very shaded and we were alerted by a neighbouring caravan that a thick heavy branch was hanging off tree and we had to move our car incase it damaged it. Pitch 26

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the great facilities and park experience Jacqui. We're really sorry to hear about the issue with pitch 26 and the overhanging branch — that’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests. Safety and comfort are top priorities, and we’ll be reviewing this area to ensure it’s properly maintained and monitored going forward.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay next time.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (super)

Liked Large pitches

Disliked As some vans are continental it would be nice if the drainage was more central

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you appreciated the generous pitch sizes—space and comfort make all the difference. Your point about central drainage for continental vans is really helpful, and we’ll definitely pass it along to the team for consideration. It’s insights like yours that help us keep improving for all types of guests.

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.
