  • Family-friendly Northumberland touring site with luxury facilities
  • Holy Island 25 minutes’ drive and Alnwick Castle 35 minutes
  • Soft-play centre and games field; restaurant and adults-only bar
Plush Ord House Country Park is set on 42 peaceful, tree-lined acres of private parkland at East Ord, within 10 minutes’ drive of gorgeous Northumberland countryside, historic Berwick-upon-Tweed and sandy Spittal Beach on the North Sea. It’s also easy to access for anyone travelling north or south, as the main A1 is just five minutes away. A whole bunch of facilities at this leafy, landscaped site will make life very easy for you indeed. Travelling with the kids? If your toddlers have energy to burn off, there’s a soft-play centre where they can have a run around, while older kids can keep busy on the playground, activity area and games field. If you’re after a bit of grown-up downtime, simply drift off to the elegant adults-only lounge bar for some peaceful R&R; otherwise head to the family-friendly main bar or book the informal Ord House Lounge Bar and Grill, where there’s a designated kids’ zone. Prettily landscaped pitches are all neatly delineated by clipped hedges. Practical on-site amenities include a laundry service with coin-operated washing machines and dryers, a dish-washing and veg-prep area, and pristine tiled showers in spacious family bathrooms with hair dryers and shaving points.

What customers say

This well-maintained park features top-notch modern bathrooms, often called the best ever! Reviewers rave about the roomy pitches, friendly staff, and a great bar/restaurant with fair prices. Its handy spot for exploring Berwick and beyond is a bonus. Minor gripes about pitch levelling, WiFi cost, and no dog-friendly bar/restaurant options were overshadowed by fantastic feedback, with loads keen to come back.

Liked Friendly welcome from night warden, late arrival. Very helpful and detailed booking in. Good sized pitches. Shower/washing up etc block very close. Shower etc block was very clean, warm, good size and unlimited hot water, hairdryers available in women’s side (can’t comment on men’s or family room)

Friendly bar/restaurant on site with family and adult only areas. Very reasonably priced food and drink, turn was on in family area Saturday night. Free wifi available in bar/restaurant. (Additional fee on pitch)

Our pitch was quiet, opposite the children’s play area and about a 30 second dash in the rain to the bar. Maybe not so quiet in summer when site is busier and bar veranda in use.

The site seemed quite quiet overall, probably time of year, November.

About a 10 minute drive to town where there’s free long stay disc parking by the city walls, no height restriction.

Disliked Nothing.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Big spacious pitches with hedging for privacy. Good dishwash facilities. Lots of toilets.

Disliked Over powered taps in toilets which spray you. Showers too hot & no temperature control. Toilets smelt of sewage. When booking it said pitch had wifi but turned out it didn’t.. you had to pay extra if you wanted it.
No dogs allowed in the restaurant or bar. Apparently in another couple of years the plans are to extend & have a dog friendly area which was no help to us. Huge site.

Local attractions

It’s time to get to grips with some Northumberland history. Mighty Bamburgh Castle (25 minutes’ drive) is open for guided tours, while Alnwick Castle (35 minutes) is famed for its exotic Poison Garden and Harry Potter film locations. You can nip across the causeway to Holy Island (25 minutes) and tour the castle and cathedral, or stretch your legs on a wander around the 16th-century walls of Berwick-upon-Tweed (five minutes). Sneak across the border into Scotland to potter around rooms stuffed with priceless Chippendale furniture at Palladian-era Paxton House (10 minutes), or make for Marchmont House to wander its wondrous gardens (half an hour). Spectacular Floors Castle (40 minutes) has a series of opulent apartments to discover, along with a walled garden and scenic walks along the River Tweed. Experiencing cultural overload? Sail forth onto the North Sea for dolphin-spotting expeditions or Farne Islands cruises to see puffins and seals from Seahouses (35 minutes). Happier on dry land? Stride out in Northumberland National Park (25 minutes), or play a round of golf – there are a couple of courses in less than 10 minutes’ drive.
