  • 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.

Clean, well-kept site with friendly staff. Guests loved the spacious pitches, spotless facilities & great location for walks. Quiet park with handy amenities like microwaves. Pods are warm & comfy. Showers small, could use more loos in peak times.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The campsite set up was good

Disliked The Porter cabin toilets and shower was disgusting
Only two toilets and two showers that small job to get dry
one shower the floor was flooded

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you liked the campsite's layout.

I am very sorry to hear about your experience with the toilet and shower facilities. This is certainly not the standard we aim for. We provide a leaflet to all touring and camping guests at check-in about our amenity block etiquette, and we also leave cleaning products for guest use, though we know they aren't always used as intended. There are also two overflow units at the back of the block, with a notice directing guests to them. I'm sorry if you missed these during your stay.

We take your feedback seriously and will be addressing these issues with our cleaning and maintenance teams immediately. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Kind Regards
The Coldstream Team

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We loved it! I would, most definitely, want to come back to this site. It was SO very peaceful. We only stayed for one night, as we were touring, but, I could easily book next summer for a week and use this site as our base. We also loved Coldstream, itself.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear how much you loved your stay with us and that you found our site so peaceful.

It's fantastic to know that even on a touring stop, we made such a positive impression. We'd be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back next summer for a longer stay, and it's great to hear you enjoyed Coldstream, too.

We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Pretty good site, lovely friendly staff, nice area on the camping field for kids to play football etc. Love that you can park your car right next to the pitch.

Disliked Could do with a bigger facilities block. Camping rules were not really enforced, should have been quiet period between 11pm & 8.30am but still a fair bit of noise going on until past midnight. I was under the impression that bookings for single sex parties were not allowed, however there was a group of at least 4 or 5 young women in the corner near us who were playing music and singing loudly until the early hours. Not ideal when you have a 7 year old who needs his sleep. All in all it’s an ok site & yes the staff are really lovely & friendly. We booked as we were attending a concert at Floors Castle and it was not too far away. We probably wouldn’t book again.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our friendly staff, the lovely area for kids to play, and the convenience of parking your car next to your pitch.

We're sorry to hear about the noise issues you experienced during your stay. We have a warden on duty 24/7, and had you called the warden's number, they would have been able to attend to any noise complaints immediately and enforce the quiet period.

Regarding the group of young women, when a booking is made online, we have no way of knowing if it is a single-sex party. Our policy against single-sex parties is primarily to prevent large groups of people from gathering, which can sometimes lead to excessive noise and disruption. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused you and your family.

We also appreciate your feedback about the facilities block. The size of our toilet block is the required size for the number of pitches we have, as required by Visit Scotland and the AA. However, in the future we will be looking to improve all our facilities.

We're glad that our location was convenient for you to attend the concert at Floors Castle. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another chance in the future. We're confident we can provide you with a more peaceful and enjoyable stay.
Kind Regards

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.
