  • 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.

What customers say

Well-kept, clean park with friendly staff. Spacious spots, modern facilities, great for walks & visiting Coldstream. Quiet and peaceful with useful amenities. Glamping pods are cozy. Showers are a bit small for some, and more toilets would be helpful in busy periods.

Liked The warm welcome, friendly and helpful reception. The indoor washing up room. The location ie the beautiful surrounding countryside and vast landscape with so many interesting places to visit and explore.

Disliked The shortage of toilet and shower facilities in relation to number of tent, camper and caravan pitches. The lack of enforcement of site rules to ensure facilities can be enjoyed by all eg although there were coded locks on all facility doors these were not in operation because doors were not self closing and left open resulting in young children using facilities without adult supervision. Shower cubicles had only a curtain to retain water within shower tray - I personally found it possible to confine the water within the confines of the shower tray by keeping the curtain within the tray but obviously others are not so able because the floor or the shower area (and sometimes well beyond into the toilet cubicles) was flooded with dirty water. Due to the door of the facilities being left open after dark, insects were attracted to the light and the toilets and sinks were often coated in these dead insects. Despite the facilities being cleaned twice a day (more often than at most other sites) this exercise is ineffective as long as the coded locks aren’t working, site rules are not enforced and campers are at liberty to abuse the facilities.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to provide us with such detailed feedback. We're so glad to hear that you felt welcome and appreciated our friendly staff, the indoor washing-up room, and our beautiful location.

We are very sorry to hear about your experience with the toilet and shower facilities. We understand your concerns and want to assure you that the rules are given to all guests.. However, as a small park, we do not have a full-time attendant at the amenities block to ensure that children are always supervised. Going forward, we will be issuing a list of rules to all guests upon arrival as well to help ensure everyone understands and follows them. We will look into the issues you mentioned with the door codes and the shower curtains to see what improvements can be made. Your comments about the cleanliness and the use of the facilities by other guests are very helpful, and we will redouble our efforts to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.

We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll consider staying with us again.

Overall we loved our stay, the park was well kept, would stay again

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Quiet at night. Close to the toilets.
Toilet facilities were really good especially the baby change/shower.
WiFi
Later check out of 11:30.

Disliked Would have been better if the family showers were separate to the male/female so that mum and dad could both enter. We have a baby and the shower routine was challenging. Although loved that there was a baby change in the men’s.

Felt the toilet block could have been cleaned more. It said twice per day but not sure this was the case during our stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are happy to hear that you found the site to be quiet, the WiFi reliable, and the late check-out convenient. We're also glad you appreciated the baby change and shower facilities.

We understand your comments regarding the family showers, and we will certainly take your suggestion into consideration as we plan future improvements.

We want to assure you that our amenities are cleaned twice daily. We also leave products for guests to use to clean up after themselves, but unfortunately, they are not always utilized as intended. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will continue to monitor the cleanliness to ensure a high standard for all our guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good toilet and pot washing facilities although maybe not enough. Flat pitch with plenty of room for me with a small tent. Some though with large tents looked a bit close together. Handy for shops etc.

Disliked Rubbish bins need emptying daily especially in hot weather and wasp season. Several were overfill and lids not closing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found our toilet and pot washing facilities to be good and that your pitch was flat with plenty of room. It's also great that you found the shops to be handy.

We apologize for the issues you experienced with the rubbish bins. We have upped our rubbish collection to twice weekly for the peak season, but we will certainly look into having them checked daily to prevent them from overflowing, especially during hot weather and wasp season. Your comments are valuable as they help us improve our services for all guests. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved the fact that the tent pitches were laid out with designated parking and tent space.
Nothing worse than going out for the day and coming back to someone parked in your spot!

Disliked Toilets were not checked frequently enough.
The same spots of rubbish/hair in the drain/ dirt that was there at 4pm where still there at 9 the next morning.
Nappy bin full of beer cans.

From the manager: Hello there,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really happy to hear that you loved our tent pitches and designated parking! It's one of the things we've put a lot of thought into, and it's great to know that it's making a real difference to our campers. We agree—coming back to find your spot taken is definitely a frustrating experience, and we're glad we could prevent that for you.

We're so sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with the toilet facilities, though. The situation you've described is completely unacceptable and falls far short of the standards we aim to maintain. We've spoken with our cleaning team to address the infrequent checks and ensure that the facilities are being cleaned thoroughly and regularly throughout the day. This is an important part of making sure our campsite is a comfortable and hygienic place for all our guests.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, as it helps us pinpoint exactly where we need to improve. We hope you'll consider staying with us again so we can show you the high standards we're capable of.

Thanks again for your honest review.

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.
