  • 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

Great spot near Coldstream with riverside walks. Staff are super friendly, facilities clean, and pitches roomy. Glamping pods and motorhome spots are comfy and kitted out. Just watch out for the odd bit of noise, spiders in the loo, and small shower cubicles. Site's well kept, many want to come back.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're delighted to hear that you found the holiday park to be well maintained and clean! We always strive to provide a high-quality environment for our guests.

We understand your frustration regarding the cost of using the EV charging point. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and wanted to clarify its operation: The EV charger does not belong to Coldstream Holiday Park. It is managed and operated by an external, third-party company. Coldstream Holiday Park does not set or control the prices for charging. The external provider manages all aspects of the pricing structure and tariffs.

We offer the charging point as an added convenience for our guests who drive electric vehicles, but unfortunately, the pricing is entirely out of our hands.

We sincerely apologise if the pricing caused any inconvenience during your stay. We aim to offer the best possible experience, and we are disappointed that this external service detracted from your otherwise positive visit.

Kind Regards
The Coldstream Team

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Size and layout of pitches
Site location
Pot wash area (even has microwaves).
There is a standalone shower)toilet at the back of the block, which is very handy. Shower much warmer and more powerful than the main ones, though turns into an instant steam room!

Disliked Showers... The main ones at the front of the block were not great - very cramped with no obvious drain to squeegee water to. Not great heat/power either.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello there! Thanks for leaving a review about your stay. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

It's great to hear you liked the size and layout of our pitches, our site location, and the convenience of the pot wash area (including the microwaves!). We're also glad the standalone shower/toilet at the back was so handy and provided a warmer, more powerful shower experience.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the main shower block. We understand your frustration. Feedback like this is essential, and we will certainly look into the issues with the drainage and shower performance in that block to see how we can make immediate improvements.

We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Nothing really

Disliked Noisy as close to main road
Small pitches too close together
Other customers walking across front of pitch to get to refuse area, instead of using road 2m away (ignorance is bliss)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear that you had a negative experience during your stay.

We understand your concerns about the proximity of the pitches and other campers. Our touring pitches are of regulation size, and we do provide a leaflet to all campers and touring guests that asks them to respect others' space and use the designated roads and paths.

We apologize that this was not your experience and will use your feedback to find a better way to communicate these guidelines to all our guests.

Kind Regards
The Coldstream Team

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.
