  • 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 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!

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.

Recommend to friends Visit 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

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.

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.
