  • Family-friendly Northumberland touring site with luxury facilities
  • Holy Island 25 minutes’ drive and Alnwick Castle 35 minutes
  • Soft-play centre and games field; restaurant and adults-only bar
Plush Ord House Country Park is set on 42 peaceful, tree-lined acres of private parkland at East Ord, within 10 minutes’ drive of gorgeous Northumberland countryside, historic Berwick-upon-Tweed and sandy Spittal Beach on the North Sea. It’s also easy to access for anyone travelling north or south, as the main A1 is just five minutes away. A whole bunch of facilities at this leafy, landscaped site will make life very easy for you indeed. Travelling with the kids? If your toddlers have energy to burn off, there’s a soft-play centre where they can have a run around, while older kids can keep busy on the playground, activity area and games field. If you’re after a bit of grown-up downtime, simply drift off to the elegant adults-only lounge bar for some peaceful R&R; otherwise head to the family-friendly main bar or book the informal Ord House Lounge Bar and Grill, where there’s a designated kids’ zone. Prettily landscaped pitches are all neatly delineated by clipped hedges. Practical on-site amenities include a laundry service with coin-operated washing machines and dryers, a dish-washing and veg-prep area, and pristine tiled showers in spacious family bathrooms with hair dryers and shaving points.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We liked the large flat pitch with an area of grass to sit on. The bar prices were good and having an adults only bar and sitting area was very good. Toilet block and showers were very very good.
An easy walk to nearby Tesco and also only 30 minutes walk into Berwick.

Disliked na

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked The site is well laid out with ample size pitches to allow space for an awning and car parking. The toilets and showers are well laid out.
The on-site bar and restaurant were excellent with reasonably priced food with generous portions.
Close proximity to the local town with bars and restaurants.

Disliked The toilets wash hand basins and showers we not the cleanest and could do with a thorough clean. An on-site cleaner for the facilities would probably benefit the site.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely site, beautiful facilities, very well maintained grassy areas, pitches were spacious and level. Staff gave us a friendly welcome. Very well located for days out, with shops nearby to get provisions. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return

Disliked Just a very small dislike, to see the dog walkers letting their dogs use the children’s play area to foul, even though they did pick up the mess not really acceptable

Local attractions

It’s time to get to grips with some Northumberland history. Mighty Bamburgh Castle (25 minutes’ drive) is open for guided tours, while Alnwick Castle (35 minutes) is famed for its exotic Poison Garden and Harry Potter film locations. You can nip across the causeway to Holy Island (25 minutes) and tour the castle and cathedral, or stretch your legs on a wander around the 16th-century walls of Berwick-upon-Tweed (five minutes). Sneak across the border into Scotland to potter around rooms stuffed with priceless Chippendale furniture at Palladian-era Paxton House (10 minutes), or make for Marchmont House to wander its wondrous gardens (half an hour). Spectacular Floors Castle (40 minutes) has a series of opulent apartments to discover, along with a walled garden and scenic walks along the River Tweed. Experiencing cultural overload? Sail forth onto the North Sea for dolphin-spotting expeditions or Farne Islands cruises to see puffins and seals from Seahouses (35 minutes). Happier on dry land? Stride out in Northumberland National Park (25 minutes), or play a round of golf – there are a couple of courses in less than 10 minutes’ drive.
