  • Berwickshire holiday park on the River Tweed's banks near Coldstream
  • Five minutes’ drive to the Hirsel Estate and 40 minutes to Holy Island
  • Dog-friendly site; pubs five minutes’ drive
Can’t decide whether to holiday in Scotland or England? Coldstream Holiday Park is situated just above the banks of the River Tweed, which forms a natural boundary between the two countries. No need to make a decision, then, as you can visit both countries in one day. Near the historic town of Coldstream, the site has views all the way to the Cheviot Hills and you can see the Eildon Hills on clear days. It is a handy, dog-centric base for walking and cycling in Berwickshire countryside, with a golf course within five minutes’ drive, and fishing (in season) on the Tweed. Whether you’re heading further north into the Scottish Highlands, or using the holiday park as your main base, this well-equipped and family-friendly site offers facilities including an architect-designed heated amenities block with toilets and showers. There’s a launderette and washing-up area too so you can keep everybody and everything clean and shiny. Source bits and bobs for meals and barbecues in Coldstream convenience stores, or visit the town’s pubs, restaurants and takeaways if your idea of being on holiday does not involve any cooking at all.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Brilliant site for a quiet weekend away! Very peaceful. Fantastic facilities, washrooms and kitchen - very clean. Friendly staff. Loved that you can hire a fire pit too, it saves the hassle of getting your own, and fuel etc. It was good value. I can’t really comment on accommodation as we stayed in our own tent, but the pods/caravans looked beautiful. I would definitely recommend, and hope to visit again!

Disliked: There isn’t an on site shop or cafe/pub. There are shops a 3 min drive away, walkable distance if the weather is okay!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Location within walking distance of Coldstream and choice of paths to get there. Attractive outlook to the south. Pleasant staff. Well cared for and tidy site.

Disliked: Site trees and shrubs not yet fully matured. Road noise. Another toilet block needed. Why do they need key pad locks on toilet block?

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Quiet site with level pitches , friendly staff.

Disliked: Toilet block is too small for the size of the site , showers are tiny - you basically have to stand back in the shower to get out of the cubicle - but they are clean. Waste bins were overflowing when we went to dispose of ours. Watched a woman go into the laundry and steal a whole pack of paper towel that was sitting on the window sill , she made the excuse she spilt some water and needed to clean it up 😡

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The pitches are flat with parking next to the tent. We looked out onto a flat green area where children played, which was lovely. The facilities are excellent ,several toilets and showers, separate for men and women. Only downside is a code to get in, not easy in the dark without my glasses!😂. There's also a small laundry and an indoor room for dishwashing that has 2 microwaves as well. The site is conveniently located to walk into Coldstream and the Hirsel estate, an unexpected bonus to our stay. Worth a visit too, is the Flodden battlefield trail. Staff here are very friendly

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Coldstream (five minutes’ drive) has much to offer in the way of history. This border town changed hands between the English and Scots many times over the centuries and is now home to informative military history displays in Coldstream Museum. It’s also home to the Hirsel Estate, with lakeside dog walks, lovely gardens to wander around, and craft shops where you can pick up some souvenir tartan. A little further afield you’ll come across a series of austere ruined castles, including Twizel (10 minutes), Norham and Etal (both 20 minutes), all once responsible for keeping English bandits out of Scotland. The romantic and remote remains of Dryburgh Abbey (half an hour) are also worth a visit – especially at dusk when they have a haunting beauty. On the English side of the border, drive across the causeway to Holy Island (40 minutes, check tide times) to see art deco Lindisfarne Castle (45 minutes), or head to Bamburgh (40 minutes) to spend the day on its extensive sandy beach. At Alnwick Castle (50 minutes), kids can explore the poison gardens, spot Harry Potter film locations and take broomstick-riding lessons.
