  • 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.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (super)

Liked: The bay was beautiful.

Disliked: The motorhome site was untidy litter around, the grass and hedges were not cut. The showers were not of a good standard smelt dirty. This was very disappointing as the static van part of the site was kept immaculate no litter, all the grass areas cut and neat and tidy, all the hedges and trees were not overgrown.

Liked: Welcoming staff at reception. The facilities were clean and well kept. We had a pitch very near to the facilities. The kids enjoyed seeing the rabbits and the toads. The location was perfect, just near Coldingham bay which is a beautiful beach.

Disliked: The bar was expensive, over £18 for 2 small soft drinks, a pint and a glass of wine. Also, we could not get onto the WiFi.

Liked: Nothing - the facilities were too poor to recommend it.

Disliked: Very expensive (most expensive site that we stayed at while on holiday) with very poor, unclean facilities (which were not cleaned during the whole period of our stay - the washing up sinks remaining full of food waste). The electric shower was impossible to set to a constant temperature and continually fluctuated between freezing and boiling!

From the manager: We're sorry to hear of your experience, please be assured we have passed your comments onto the team. Please email us should you wish to discuss any aspect of your stay further. Thanks, 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.
