  • 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

Campers rave about the roomy, serviced sites and top-notch staff. The bar & bistro's a hit with good tucker & fair prices. Most found the facilities clean, though loos & showers are a bit dated. Great spot for coastal strolls and village hopping. A few niggles about site swaps & road din.

Liked Site and facilities very clean. The receptionist was so lovely and made check in super easy. Site had lots of amenities.

Disliked We were on a pitch right behind a shortcut people take through the trees so we had A LOT of people with children walking on our pitch! Lots of children taking bikes also. Maybe to and from the park but it really bothered us. Avoid pitch 28

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review and for recommending us to friends. We’re delighted to hear that you found the site and facilities so clean, enjoyed the amenities, and that our receptionist made your check-in nice and easy.

We’re sorry to hear about the amount of foot traffic you experienced around your pitch. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have people and children regularly passing through your pitch area, particularly when you were hoping to relax and enjoy your stay.

We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll certainly look at the situation around Pitch 28 and see whether there are any measures we can put in place to discourage people from using this route.

We’re pleased to hear that you would still visit us again, and we hope to welcome you back for a more peaceful stay next time.

Would recommend.

Liked Well kept park, cleaners in toilets every morning ,

Disliked Asked for a pitch next to toilet block due to my disability, was advised no , 3 times I called asking this and put it in the pitch up comments when booking , was advised that I should have booked direct, would have helped, I was put at the top of the park, doesn’t look much but it has a incline more so when you have a disability, and the best of it was the pitch next to toilet block and two or three next to it we’re not used all week !!!,

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found the park well maintained and appreciated the cleanliness of our facilities.

We're very sorry to read about your experience regarding your pitch allocation. We understand how important pitch location can be, particularly when accessibility needs are involved, and we appreciate how frustrating it must have been to see nearby pitches remain unused during your stay.

While we cannot always guarantee specific pitches when bookings are made through third-party booking platforms, we do always try to accommodate requests wherever possible. We're sorry that on this occasion we were unable to meet your expectations or communicate the situation more clearly.

Your comments have been shared with our team so we can review how we handle accessibility requests and improve our communication with guests. We truly value your feedback and hope you will consider staying with us again so we have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience.

Very good. Third visit and we’ll definitely be back.

Liked You can see a genuine effort to be 100% customer focussed. I made a point in my last review about the state of the toilets and suggested that toilet brushes would help those responsible visitors clean up. I noticed the provision of toilet brushes which was a marked improvement. However the Site staff can’t change the bad behaviour of some visitors sadly and I often found the toilets in a disgusting state. I never left them like that and made sure the loo was fit for the next person to use unlike the state I often found them in. Well done CBLP. Great effort and ground staff do a great job.

Disliked Messy visitors but that’s not possible to legislate for unfortunately.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your thoughtful review and for taking the time to share both your feedback and your recognition of our team's efforts.

We're especially pleased that you noticed the addition of the toilet brushes following your previous suggestion. We genuinely value guest feedback, and where we can make practical improvements, we're always happy to do so.

We also appreciate your understanding that the condition of our facilities can sometimes be affected by the actions of a small number of visitors. Our grounds and housekeeping teams work incredibly hard to maintain high standards throughout the day, and your kind comments will mean a great deal to them.

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay.

Liked Not a lot about thr site, although perfectly placed for local visits and attractions

Disliked This site seems more of an afterthought thrown in besides the large static site. It's on a gradient ( although not severe) so most vans / caravans will need levelling up. The gents amenities very clean and modern although only 2 showers and 2 stiles, plenty of basins though. No fences / bushes or other to define your actual pitch area , minimum I would expect is ground markers ,we actually had people in the pitch behind up against the back of our van in their camping chairs and 2 dogs chatting and drinking til 1 in the morning ! I'm not a killjoy but we were due off the pitch the next morning and wanted an early ish night. Oh.... and one of their cute little doggies left me a present on the grass behind my van 🤔. Oh and beware , they have WiFi, but you have to pay a fiver a day !

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We're pleased to hear you found our location convenient for exploring the local area and that you found the gents' facilities to be clean and modern.

We're sorry to hear that other guests' behaviour affected your stay. We expect all visitors to be considerate of those around them, particularly during the quieter evening hours, and we're disappointed this wasn't your experience.

We also appreciate your comments regarding pitch definition and levelling. As our touring area is on gently sloping ground, some guests may find levelling blocks helpful, and your feedback about clearer pitch boundaries has been noted and will be considered as we continue to improve the site.

Regarding Wi-Fi, we appreciate that this may not suit everyone's expectations. We aim to be transparent about any additional charges before booking.

Thank you again for your feedback. We value all comments as they help us identify areas where we can continue to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Don't think we would return due to dislike comment

Liked The site itself is very good. Clean shower areas and toilet facilities kept very clean apart from a huge dead spider in the paper towel dispenser in the ladies for 4 days, food in the restaurant is lovely and the staff very friendly.

Disliked We were put on a pitch under trees which made the stay not great the weather was lovely but when you're in the shade under tree's It can be chilly, other pitches opposite us were free the whole time in beautiful sun shine

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the park, our restaurant, and that our team made you feel welcome. We also appreciate your comments about the cleanliness of our facilities, and we're sorry to hear about the spider in the ladies' washroom. This certainly isn't the standard we aim for, and we'll ensure this is highlighted with our housekeeping team.

We're also sorry that your pitch location didn't meet your expectations. We understand how much of a difference sunshine can make, especially during warm weather. While we do our best to allocate pitches fairly and accommodate requests where possible, availability and operational requirements can sometimes limit our options. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our guests' experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

We will definitely be back .We all had a lovely week holiday

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.
