Fabulous scottish sunshine

  • Berwickshire caravan park in the grounds of 18th-century Paxton House
  • A 10-minute drive to Berwick-upon-Tweed beaches, castle and boat trips
  • Woodland walks, adventure playground, Tweed river trips from the site
Want to see how the other half lives? Pack a bag and park yourself in the walled garden at Paxton House Caravan Park. This Berwickshire pile was built in the Palladian style in 1763 for a nobleman who planned to live in it, then inherited a castle and moved there instead. Staying in this small park on the 80 acres of grounds, visitors can take in this popular landmark at their leisure, with river walks and boat trips down the Tweed and/or by delving into the history of the house and its collections of art and furniture. The kids can let off steam on the adventure playground and follow woodland trails to discover wildlife and maybe encounter a fairy or two. For practical things likes pubs and grub and shops, as well as sandy beaches, estuary walks, sea safaris and fishing trips, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a brilliantly convenient 10 minutes' drive away. It’s also got a top castle, and a hefty handful of medieval forts and towers… and you can take a horseback ride down the beach like some country squire with a walled garden…

Liked: Location is superb, the estate grounds are beautiful and Berwick is just a short bus ride away.

Disliked: OK, I could say that the toilet situation isn't the best but they don't state that they have toilets so I can't really complain about that.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: The peace and quiet. The birdsong. The beautiful surroundings and walks along the Tweed. Drive over drain good. Very easy to get to from A1.
The boat trip was lovely.

Disliked: The lack of signage and information, especially for booking in. No warden or staff around, no emergency contact numbers.
The confusion about whether or not there is a toilet block. There are two but one continues to be closed. They do not seem to be regularly cleaned and there is no soap, hand drying, or toilet brush.
The pipe from the water tap is damaged and squirts water out.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: We love Paxton house and been several times. On this occasion, we were disappointed by selfish inconsiderate customers who had 1 caravan and two campers on three pitches spread across the area. They had no consideration for pitch privacy and had three children who pulled the water pipe sign off (stuck back on) pulled a tree support pole up and waved this all around the site including near our MH on our pitch and threw frizzbies. They also have three dogs a bull mastiff, schnauzer and a.n.other who were allowed off their leads and dispersing their toilet habits and chasing the children up by our pitch instead of their own. They BBQ'd on the grass leaving a huge burnt out are on their pitch and created a racket running around our pitch until late at night. Totally spoiled our normal lovely visit!
I'm all for the children enjoying themselves which i'm sure they did but when disturbing others on the park and on other pitches not claimed by themselves as well as damaging small growth trees on the site - There was no one to report to and express our dissatisfaction. The parents and grand parents appeared inconsiderate with nil responsibility and thought for the owners site or other customers.

NB: 1 toilet and shower closed reportedly out of order and the toilet waste pipe is broken and needs replacing.

Truly a lovely site but our stay was spoilt on this visit and no number to call o report the issues for resolve.

Local attractions

History is never far away in these parts, and the glimpses you’ll get of Lindisfarne half an hour's drive away will doubtless lure you out during your stay. Wild and peaceful, the ruins of the priory and the castle point to the long and turbulent human past of the place while the colonies of puffins and waders carry on regardless. Check tide times if heading out by car; boat trips to and round make a leisurely way to visit with seal and puffin spotting possibilities en route. There are many more castles to peruse, if that’s your penchant: Bamburgh, still occupied but open to visitors, is half an hour’s drive away. Despite being 700 years old, Alnwick (45 minutes) is also still home to the descendants of its original owners and a must-see for JK Rowling fans as the film location for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The little villages of Beadnell and Seahouses (45 minutes away) form the gateway to the Northumbria Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a sea-hugging zone stuffed with chances to go rockpooling and paddleboarding, plus coastal paths and bike trails as well as a haven for wildflowers and (yes, really) wild cattle. Half an hour’s drive gets you to the edge of Northumbria National Park, packed with Roman remains, climbing in the Cheviot Hills and paths round Kielder Water. Further afield, the museums, culture, lively pubs and (of course) the castle of Edinburgh are very doable for a day trip, an hour and 20 minutes away.
