Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: S Risk 5 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 2 weeks at Ord House and must say will not be returning.Touring pitches good size, all water, waste and toilet facilities within easy reach of most pitches. Toilet block spotless and never too busy. Meals lovely( especially Sunday roast) and very reasonable although 'the regulars' in the clubhouse look at you as if you have no right to be there. Staff on the whole helpful but quite abrupt with children 


Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Wendy Ann 2 reviews from this member

 Can not agree with previous comments enough, we are 2 x ad 2 x ch 6 man tent cost £23.50 per night and worth every penny. The toilet/shower/bath facilities are very clean and constantly maintained and has an area to plug in my hairdryer, very important! Have a separate family bathroom with big bath and double shower. Good play area and football pitch which kept the children entertained (age 10 & 11). Club house very good with family play room and soft paly area for under 8s my only criticism would be the food well priced but lasagne microwaved to within an inch of its life.

Would go back and I am a fussy camper. Good base to explore Berwick / Bamburgh which all have lovely beaches. 


Date of Visit: June 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Stuart l 90 reviews from this member

 Called in here for three nights to 'recover' from a family holiday in northern Scotland. This was our second visit here.

This is a lovely four-star site - and you can see why! It may cost a bit more than many sites -but definitely get what you pay for here!

We were given a super-pitch in the old orchard - about a dozen in an old walled garden area - all individually screened. This is lovely - but can be quite difficult to get in an out of as the access road is only just the width of a caravan, so there is little space for reversing, or pulling out. Indeed the unit next to us had to be manhandled by every willing volunteer to get it out before it could be coupled up, and a similar thing happened with the one opposite to us - except that they got it out facing inwards (I was at the loo at the time) - and it took six of us to push it back and turn it to face the way out.

Fortunately I had not put my unit close by the hedge screen, and with the opposite pitch now vacant, was able to drive straight out, albeit over part of the opposite pitch! Really this area needs remodelling with a wider access road and the pitches moved back by about eight feet; (there is a lawned area behind which could be partly cannibalised for this).

However, apart from this the site is great. It has a club house and bar, which is very popular and serves a lovely chicken curry! No hand pulled ales a shortcoming.

There is no shop on site, but a small village store just opposite the entrance sells the essentials. There is a large excellent Morrisons just three miles up the A1. Berwick town is an easy walk of around half an hour, and has some uninspiring if functional shops. However the town wall is well worth walking round, whilst the harbour also provides a pleasant stroll.

Back on site the loos were always clean and there is even a bathroom in each shower block - sheer luxury after three weeks of having showers, and a day plodding round the town. Only the washing up sinks seemed to get into an untidy state - but that is caused by the people using them, and not cleaning them afterwards.

There is a play field for children, and at the weekend it got quite noisy with kids screaming and rampaging round on bikes. In fairness however the noise had ceased well before bedtime.

This is a Best of British site - and we agree! Will definitely come back again.

 Excellent site, well drained pitches. Very clean toilets. Good play area for children. Post Office + shop just yards from the site. Good pub food within easy walking distance. Helpful staff on reception. No noise at night from the club house -reasonable drink prices. Will use this site again highly recommended. 


Date of Visit: May 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: TheTurnbulls4 1 review from this member

 This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Ord House and certainly won't be our last. We stayed (2 families 7 in total) the Bank Holiday weekend for 3 nights, but were having such a good time we stayed an extra night.
What can I say, we think this site is fantastic, well maintained, good Manor House should you want to use it, play area for the kids and good food. The park area for the children is great and the whole site is very safe.
Staff all very helpful and friendly. The one thing we look for when camping, especially with children is the standard of the toilet / shower facilities, well what can I say fantastic, hats off to the cleaner she does a excellent job and is very friendly both me and my sister in law often chatted to her when we were in. She is definitely one in a million and deserve a big Bonus.
This site is a little more expensive than most but once you have been you will understand why. Will certainly be back this year. Keep up the good work.

Date of Visit: March 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lorna-summat 2 reviews from this member

 Great site for families. We went with our young daughter who loved it. Even if it was a bit too cold for camping! The facilities are brilliant. Spotless toilets and showers and the family bathroom is a brilliant idea for those of us with young children.
Good play area, although the swings were out of action when we were there. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the pub / clubhouse had a nice atmosphere, with soft play to keep the wee ones amused. Prices for drinks were reasonable and although we didn't try the food, the menu looked good and fairly priced.
The only criticism I can think of is that the site is a little bit overlooked by houses, especially the tent area. This makes for a less rural / picturesque feel than we would usually go for. However over all a lovely site which we would certainly visit again.

Reviewer: Stuian77 1 review from this member

 What a great site toilets were lovely and clean at all times the wife says the family bathroom was fantastic as with having 2 young children.

The children's play area was great kept them busy for ages . The site was pricey at that time (bank holiday) 167 pounds for five nights but you expect that from this top quality site will def go again soon 


Date of Visit: February 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Pip38 5 reviews from this member

 Stayed here at half term, What a FAB site, Kids loved it, Facilities were second to none(a bit too hot at times).
A leisure pool about 5 minutes from the site entertained the children and husbands(a brilliant slide!)

Staff very friendly. The site was very child friendly, and catered for most ages.

A great garden centre just down the road to walk to. 


Date of Visit: February 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: ZootHornRollo 5 reviews from this member

 We visited this site for a couple of days in February after consulting numerous weather forecasts none of which mentioned snow.

On arrival the site was lovely. It is predominantly static vans but tourers are very well catered for. The toilets are very clean and even have Radio 2 played in them. Nice touch. Dogs are well catered for with a very adequate dog walk on the site that must be about a mile and half long with plenty of bins along the route.

The reception staff were very friendly, chatty and helpful. We were allocated a pitch in the orchard area which is all hardstanding, fully serviced pitches. Bonus.

It snowed on our second day on site. We managed to get the car out to visit Lindisfarne in the morning but on returning to the site at lunch time we could not get the car off the site again until the following morning. As stated earlier the snow was not forecast so not much the site could have done about it. The roads were gritted but as it was done after the snow, it had little effect until the temp got a little higher the next day - our departure day.

The site staff seemed to spend almost all morning trying to clear all roads as best they could but a very helpful gent in a wee tractor pulled the van off the pitch for us and up onto level ground. 


Date of Visit: January 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: John bewley 1 review from this member

 Great Site. As seasonal caravannera we found this to be the best site in the North East. We have been on sites from Scarborough to Berwick and this was the best. Originally we went for one year but stayed for two, 2008 & 2009. We had a super pitch with water, electric & waste water hook-up. Electric was by prepaid card. It has a good well populated pub, with plenty of entertainment for both young & old. This leaves the site it's self very quiet at night. The toilet,shower & washroom facilities are 1st class. There is a good size playground & long tree lined dog walk. Also plenty to do and visit in the area, Berwick town with good shops & restaurants approx 25mins walk, good village pub 5mins walk. Spittle beach about 15mins drive. Across the boarder is Eyemouth, St Abbs & Coldingham Bay to name a few. Site Fee's where reasonable as it is an all year site. Only down side was the pitches are quite sloping, but perhaps in the future the owners might terrace the site and level them. They do seem to be investing in the site each year to improve & better what is already a very good site.

Reviewer: Freyja 56 reviews from this member

 Our second visit here in a month. Love this site. Very friendly , well maintained site. Even though it was raining most of the weekend the toilet blocks were kept clean. The ground drains well even after heavy rain. I love the fact this site has a bath in beside the showers in both gents and ladies, also 2 large family bathrooms with a bath and large shower. (In the block further into the site.)Cost �17.25 per night, hardstanding pitch with EHU for 2 adults and a dog, who goes free off season.Large outdoor shop a couple of miles along the road called Marshalls sells goods cheaper than High street shops. Lots of well known brands.Shop outside campsite open 6am to 6pm selling most things. Will keep going back here. Lovely area to explore. Open all year.

Reviewer: Freyja 56 reviews from this member

 Lovely well kept camp site. Clean loos and showers and a bath as well in the shower room. Two toilet blocks one just as you go in and another further back, which is the bigger one. Showers and hairdriers free. All the facilities you need, dish wash area, laundry, chemical disposal, plenty of bins emptied regularly. A recycling area.
We were late booking and they only had a sloping section left, only complaint about this was even though the pitches were hard standing there was no path from pitches to road so you have to walk over grass, wet that weekend which I'm not very keen on, but this is minor. Fully serviced pitch was £19.45 per night.
Friendly site and quiet after dark. Childrens play area with swings etc and table tennis table. No shop on site but one right outside gate open from 6a.M every day till about 8 I think, selling everything. A Morrisons supermarket 3 miles along the road. Lots of nice towns round about.
Dog walk around the site. Allowed one big dog or 2 small per caravan. Rotweillers and some other big dogs not allowed. Highly recommended.

Reviewer: MRWILSON 1 review from this member

 I love ord house me!. Just got back from a weeks caravaning at ord house and what a fantastic site it is. All the staff are very helpful and there is plenty for the kids to do ie crazy golf,outside table tennis, playground, football pitch and there is a good dog walk around the outer perimeter.
There is a shop just outside the main gate. The toilet & showers are very very clean and the grounds are kept in tip top condition. We went to the pub a couple of nights and found it warm and friendly with a good area for the younger kids with a safe play area where adults can relax but still see your children playing. Did not eat at the pub but word around the site said it was good food and well priced.
This site is in a prime location very close to all activities ie beach, town centre, holy island, st abbs, east links family farm (dunbar) & lots more. Thanks for great time

Reviewer: Pinklady 4 reviews from this member

 This was our 3rd visit this year. Things were a bit different this time compared to the other times we stayed. Putting a tent up in the dark and torrential rain is no fun. Thankfully the site workers were as usual fantastic. The cleaners lent us their cleaning equipment for as long as we needed to clean the tent out and the bar staff gave us a pile of cardboard boxes so we could lay a pathway into the tent.
We heard someone complaining that the toilets were dirty. This is rubbish, they are the best toilet blocks we have ever seen. People can't expect toilets to be clean the whole day when the weather was that bad. Did they want the cleaners to live in the toilets! we love this site & look forward to many more happy times here next year.

Reviewer: Senor Pablo 10 reviews from this member

 Just returned from first visit to Ord house. Stayed for two nights, no problems at all.

Site easy to locate from A1.

Staff friendly, shown to pitch and suitable advice given.

Site immaculate, credit to the owners.

Toilets and showers extremely clean, radio 4 whilst on the loo at 0300 hrs!

Cleaning staff (Toilets) very pleasant and cheerful.

Bar area adequate, prices slightly steep. No real ale, but varied choice of keg beers.

Seating area disjointed, few cliques' in obvious existence. Kind of pecking order apparent, resident statics, resident tourers, tourers and campers at far end of bar. Do not take this too serious, but be aware of it!

Shop (Post Office) at the entrance to site. Fairly well stocked, offers the National Lottery as well.

Bus to Berwick beside Post Office, not too frequent, but only takes 6mts.

All in all, thoroughly recommended site and we will return.
