  • 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

Pods usually get a thumbs up for being tidy and cosy. Great spot near the beach and walks. Staff are lovely. Downsides? Toilets/showers are a bit of a trek, and some found cleanliness, hot water, and facilities a bit tired. Noise and comfy mattresses can be an issue for a few.

Camping pod (superior)

Liked The location is fantastic and the staff we spoke to were really nice and helpful.

Disliked The pod itself was seriously neglected. The lock on the door was not convincing - we kept having to put valuables in the car. The heater and TV didn't work. The single mattresses had springs sticking out and the double mattress had a slat missing.
The worst thing was the toilet block is so far away, which is crazy because surely it's only the pods that need to use them. The toilets blocked often and the showers weren't great either.
We were going to eat in the restaurant on the last night but there was a big private party with loud music until at least 11pm. We were glad to leave unfortunately, which is a shame because the Coldingham itself is an absolute gem and we would love to go back.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share such honest and detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed our fantastic location and found our team friendly and helpful.

We’re very sorry that the pod and facilities did not meet the standard you expected. Your comments regarding the door lock, heating, TV and mattresses are particularly concerning, and we’ll ensure these points are raised with the relevant team so they can be addressed.

We’re also sorry to hear about the issues with the toilet and shower facilities, including the distance from the pods and the toilets blocking during your stay. We understand how frustrating this must have been.

We apologise too that the private event affected your final evening. We appreciate that the noise and closure of the restaurant were disappointing, particularly when you had planned to dine with us.

It’s lovely to hear that you still feel Coldingham itself is an absolute gem, and we really hope we can welcome you back in the future and provide the enjoyable experience you were hoping for. Thank you again for bringing these issues to our attention.

The low price simply does not make up for the poor facilities.

Camping pod (superior, pet friendly)

Liked The price – unfortunately, that was the only positive thing about our stay.

Disliked The toilet facilities are far too far away from the accommodation. When we arrived, reception told us there were two toilets, one of which was locked at 9:30 pm. We never actually managed to find that one. The other toilet was a considerable distance away.
The showers, located in the same building as the toilets, were absolutely awful – dirty, unhygienic and covered in mould. They were definitely not somewhere you would feel comfortable showering.
The pod itself is very dated and in desperate need of refurbishment. The mattress was particularly bad – it looked so old and unpleasant that we barely wanted to touch it, let alone sleep on it.
We were also disappointed that the fish and chip shop closes at 5 pm, which seems extremely early, especially for people staying on site who may want an evening meal.

Overall, we are very glad that we booked this place for only four nights, and only did so because our preferred accommodation was unavailable for these particular dates.
Unfortunately, we definitely would not return and could not recommend this place to others. The low price simply does not make up for the poor facilities, cleanliness and overall condition of the accommodation.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and that there were so many aspects that left you disappointed.

We’re particularly concerned by your comments regarding the cleanliness and condition of the toilet and shower facilities, as well as the condition of the pod and mattress. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we’ll make sure your feedback is shared with the relevant team for review and action.

We also appreciate your comments about the distance to the facilities and the fish and chip shop’s opening hours. We understand how inconvenient this can be for guests looking for an evening meal, and your feedback is valuable when considering how we can improve the experience for future visitors.

We’re sorry that, despite the value of the stay, you left feeling that the facilities and accommodation did not provide good enough value overall. Thank you again for bringing these issues to our attention.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear that you found the pods nice and spacious, but we’re very sorry that the condition of the toilet and shower facilities fell well below the standard you expected from us.

We completely understand your disappointment, particularly regarding the mould in the showers and the cleanliness of the facilities. This is not the experience we want our guests to have, and we take your comments very seriously. We’ll be passing your feedback on to the relevant teams so that the facilities can be thoroughly reviewed and the necessary improvements addressed.

We also appreciate your comments about the distance from the pods to the toilet block, particularly for families. While we’re unable to change the layout of the site, we understand that this can be inconvenient and appreciate you highlighting it.

We’re sorry that this stay did not meet the standard you’ve experienced at other Verdant Leisure sites. Thank you again for your honest feedback — it’s valuable in helping us identify where improvements are needed.

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.
