  • Family park half a mile from Coldingham Sands beach and watersports
  • Within 5 minutes' drive of St Abbs and Eyemouth; an hour to Edinburgh
  • Kids' club, indoor golf, outdoor play, chippy, spa and bar and grill
Find your way to Scoutscroft Leisure Park for adventures at the seaside or the city: this well-placed park is an easy half a mile from spectacular and award-winning Coldingham Bay beach and just over an hour’s drive from the sights and shops of Edinburgh. There’s loads to do on site too (this is a firmly family-friendly park), including indoor miniature golf, a kids’ club, a snooker room and an outdoor play area. Food and drink is sorted for all tastes too at the fish and chip takeaway for quick bites (perhaps on the beach…?) and the Sands bar and grill for breakfasts, lunches, evening eats, snacks and a wide selection of bevvies ranging from soft drinks to cider. Drink up, then drink in the scenery: Scoutscroft is close to the Berwickshire coast and the Scottish Borders, handily placed for weekends away or longer hols exploring sandy beaches and nature reserves. To take the excitement up a notch, watersports including surfing, kayaking, diving and bodyboarding are easily sorted from the park; elsewhere, days out at local port town St Abbs and harbour town Eyemouth are within less than 10 minutes’ drive. These places are also where you can pick up provisions at supermarkets… or simply meander between the two on a coastal hike.

What customers say

Guests rave about the great location, value, and friendly staff. Glamping pods are clean, comfy, and well-equipped. Proximity to beaches and trails is a huge plus! Some noted washrooms need updating and are a long walk from pods. A few mentioned hot water/mattress issues, which managers are addressing.

Camping pod (superior, pet friendly)

Liked Didn’t manage to go

Disliked We never managed to get on our holiday as my husband was very ill and taken to hospital unfortunately and the experience from trying to get our money back or put on hold to go another time was unsatisfactory there was no effort made to help just told nothing can do and to pass it to a friend. Not something that should have been suggested considering the situation even though it states in medical emergencies refunds can be given. This was our first time going and it wasn’t the best start especially since we never got. Not sure we will book again to go here we might look elsewhere now. I understand refunds can’t just be given but under the circumstances of my husband being very ill in hospital I would of expected a bit more communication and help with either refunding or holding for another date that we can go.

Camping pod (superior)

Liked Lovely and quiet. Lots of wildlife and There is a lovely little campsite cat who came to visit us. This made out trip and we missed our cats

Disliked The rain but that cant be helped. I wish the toilets could be a bit closer to the pods we got drenched a few times.

Local attractions

Hikers might want to pack their boots for a stay at this site: the Southern Upland Way starts a 20-minute drive from Scoutscroft Leisure Park in Cockburnspath and the Berwickshire Coastal Path can be picked up at St Abbs Head Nature Reserve a 10-minute ride away. Not up for getting in the car? Coldingham Priory is less than 10 minutes on foot for checking out architectural marvels closer to home. For more wanders around historic buildings, Paxton House is a 25-minute drive from the park while Bamburgh Castle – where scenes from one of the Transformers franchise was filmed – is 45 minutes away. The 16th-century Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island takes about the same amount of time to reach and is a must-visit for its memorable views out to sea. Vistas soaked up, guests can learn about local history at Eyemouth Museum, a 10-minute drive from the park, or journey over to Berwick-upon-Tweed (a 20-minutes drive away in Northumberland’s most northerly tip) for explores around Elizabethan walls and the town's galleries. Urbanites can also head to Scotland’s capital in an hour to roam the Royal Mile and scale Arthur’s Seat.
