  • Rural dog-friendly Scottish borders site with alpacas and hill views
  • A 25-minute drive from St Cuthbert’s Way and Floors Castle
  • Alpaca treks, barbecues, firepits, firewood and refreshments available
Alpacas for neighbours, hills for views and the Scottish border around 14 miles away… that’s the setup at Beirhope Alpacas. Things are rather relaxing in this very rural part of Scotland in the Kale Valley. Still, this Scottish borders site is only 50 minutes’ drive from Berwick-upon-Tweed and an hour from Eyemouth when you want to trade in the hills for the Berwickshire coast. Over the border are Northumberland National Park (half an hour’s drive away) and Kielder Forest Park (an hour) for outdoorsy pursuits like hiking, biking and watersports. You may want to warm up first by getting involved with alpaca trekking activities on site. After all, since the friendly alpacas share the site, it’s likely you’ll want to greet them properly. On base, landscapes include a peaceful woodland where you’ll be able to peek out towards Thowliestane Hill (another ripe walking location with an Iron Age hillfort, 10 minutes’ walk away). You might be able to hear the trickle of a nearby stream in the day, or at night, set your eyes on spectacular night skies – a head torch may come in handy for the dark. Facilities-wise, this dog-friendly site has shared toilet and bucket showers, as well as additional extras that are available to purchase. This could be a hot or cold brew, a barbecue, firepit and firewood or basic refreshments. Wheelbarrows are also provided, making it easier to get from the car park to your pitch. When it’s time to collect bigger supplies or try some Scottish fare at a local restaurant or pub, Jedburgh is the closest place to do so, 15 minutes’ drive to the west of the site.

What customers say

A peaceful, scenic getaway. Guests loved the friendly hosts, unique showers, and alpacas. Private wooded sites, honesty shop, and coffee delivery were highlights. Great for exploring. Some noted separate parking, but most raved and want to return.

Woodland Wonder primitive grass and earth tent campsite (six person, woodland)

Liked The location is so beautiful and so peaceful - it was a little bit of heaven.
We had the 'woodland walk' pitch and we loved being by ourselves and also being in a secure spot for our little dog to roam freely but safely.
The toilets/ washroom are immaculate. As are all the communal spaces. Attention to detail is shown in every aspect of the site. From fridge/freezer space, to fire pits and wood, to supplies you can buy at very reasonable prices.
Lynne is a genuinely beautiful person who makes you instantly feel like you're visiting a friend.
We can't wait to return and to stay for a longer period.

Disliked We had to come home

Sam's Super primitive grass tent campsite (Private restroom amenities, no pets)

Liked Me and my daughter had the best time. The host lynne was especially kind and accommodating. Being camped next to alpacas was amazing too- we even got to do the walk with an alpaca and we enjoyed this immensely.

Sam's Super primitive grass tent campsite (Private restroom amenities, no pets)

Liked Amazing place. Fantastic scenery and walking. Spotlessly clean everywhere, quiet and peaceful. Lots of happy animals. Facilities excellent but off grid (so composting toilets, no electric etc). There’s WiFi that works well and a communal fridge / freezer.

Our pitch (Sam’s) had an amazing outdoor kitchen area with everything you could possibly need.

We did an alpaca walk and loved it. Loads of fun and surprisingly mischievous animals.

The walk from farm to the top of the Iron Age hill fort is well worth it for the views.

Disliked Honestly can’t think of anything! If you get good weather (as we did) it’s as close to perfect as you can get.

Local attractions

While you’ll be in for a very relaxing time on site, activities don’t necessarily need to be slow-paced. The long-distance St Cuthbert’s Way runs through the Harestanes Countryside Visitor Centre (25 minutes' drive). You might like to stop there for a cool off and some time in the play park or café before your big hike or take one of the shorter trails. ‘While in Scotland’, get to know a little of the culture and visit a Scottish microbrewery and distillery. The Born in Scotland (25 minutes) visitor centre runs grass sledding and it’s next to an osprey nest if you’re the birdwatching type too. In Eyemouth (an hour), there's a different type of adventure – RIB trips out on the Berwickshire coast, for one. Once you’re fully acquainted with the coast and the hills, a little history perhaps? Walk or cycle the trails around the grounds of Floors Castle (25 minutes), or visit the Augustinian Jedburgh Abbey (15 minutes), one of the four border abbeys?
