What customers say
Thurston Manor offers a decent stay with clean facilities, spacious pitches & helpful staff. Good value, handy for the A1/Dunbar. Pool & restaurant are a bonus. While generally praised for cleanliness & a friendly vibe, some noted dated bits & noise during busy times. Many recommend and plan to revisit.

Avoid.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Location. We booked because it was handy for Berwick and Edinburgh and quick to get on the A1 for home.
Bathrooms with big showers and toilet in the same room. I wasn't travelling with my kids but if I had of been that would have been a massive plus.
We didn't go in the clubhouse/bar/swimming pool etc
Disliked We disliked the violent fight that broke out amongst several people that the security guards couldn't handle. We disliked that the police had to be called and were in the middle of the touring pitches arresting people and diffusing the situation until 2am. We disliked the fact that the management didn't check in with us at all to see if we were OK or follow up with any emails which makes me think perhaps its commonplace and we should have expected our night to be ruined. We disliked that when we arrived at 6:40pm (with check in advertised as until 7pm) we couldn't get hold of anyone on the out of hours security phone number we were told to ring.
