  • 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.

Liked The site was amazing on the static caravan side, touring part needed tiding up a bit

Disliked Toilet block not as good as some of your sites . The hardstanding pitches proved difficult to get awning legs in

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback! We're so pleased you enjoyed the static caravan area — and we appreciate the heads-up about the touring side and toilet block. Your note on the hardstanding pitches is helpful too; we’ll look into what can be done to make awning setup smoother.
Warm regards,
Team Verdant

Liked Positions of plot

Disliked All but one toilet seat broken in ladies toilet
Arrived after reception had closed and went to the bar as instructed and didn’t receive a warm welcome.
Lack of information with bar staff about site facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback — we're glad the plot position suited you well. Sorry to hear about the broken toilet seats and the less-than-warm welcome at the bar; that’s not the first impression we aim to give, especially after hours. We’ll also follow up on the communication gap around site facilities to ensure guests get clear and helpful info at every touchpoint.
Warm regards,
Team Verdant

Not impressed, not up to the standard of many sites we have stayed in.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (super)

Liked Proximity to the village was good. Also the overall price of the pitch for ine night was good. Pitch was level.

Disliked A very big site due to the statics. No signage for reception which was in the middle of the site. Spend 10 minutes trying to find it then discovered it was in the new bar complex. Receptionist said she had asked for signs several times! Problems with the new ehu boxes when connecting up
Took 20 minutes switching trip switches until it worked, should be a sign showing positions where all the switches should be. Our neighbour also had problems and thought his was hooked up but wasn't working until we sorted the trip switches. Not enough showers...just 2 for the size of site, had to wait an hour. Also, many sites provide free wi fi. This site charges.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the honest review Adrian! We’re glad the location and pitch quality hit the mark — and we appreciate your patience with the trickier parts of your stay. Your feedback on signage, EHU boxes, showers, and Wi-Fi is really valuable and will be passed along as we keep refining the experience. 💡
Warm regards,
Team Verdant

Liked Nice clean site, facilities were good but only one shower available with hot water.
Restuarant & bar were very good.

Disliked Unfortunately we had to leave the site early, there were bird scaring devices in the adjoining fields which gave off loud bangs at regular intervals which scared our dog. The bird scaring devices operated 24 hours.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the kind words about the site, facilities, and the bar — we’re glad you enjoyed those. Sorry your stay was disrupted by the nearby bird scaring devices; we understand how distressing that can be for pets and will share this feedback with the team. Also noted on the limited hot showers — it’s being reviewed as part of our ongoing improvements.
Warm regards,
Team Verdant

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.
