We stayed at Ord House for a week at the end of July. We had a lovely holiday in Northumberland. Berwick is a nice town but once you've been in and spent a day there, that's pretty much it. We spent most of the time down the coast at Holy Island, Bamburgh and Seabouses - its absolutely stunning down there.
From the description of the caravan site I thought that there was going to be lots of space and open areas with it being set in a country park, but I was wrong. Every area is allocated to either statics (250 of them) or touring/tent pitches. The playpark is lovely and there is a large playing pitch for kids playing football, and the grounds are lovely and well maintained. But no open spaces apart from that.
The newly opened shop on site is fantastic and very well priced for all camping and caravanning needs.
The clubhouse is good - good food and drink and a small indoor soft play corner for the kids which keeps them happy while dining.
The main stumbling block we had with the site was the noise. Up until 10pm at the weekend sounds like a youth club outside your caravan, we travelled with two younger children who were in bed by 8-9pm and we then look to chill out with some vino but the noise level up until curfew doesn't allow for a relaxing evening! It is very different during the week, nice and quiet but our holiday spanned two weekends and it certainly seemed very noisy both weekends we were there. The wardens do seem to be on the ball enforcing noise after 10pm though.
All in all a lovely holiday, but Ord House just wasn't for us.
I can only agree with others posts about this site is set up for caravanners with children in mind lots for the kids great. This site has a lot of resident tourers pitched & only has limited areas for touring caravanners now. Lots of static caravans with residents ,who were not very friendly towards us touring caravanners & kids.
We had a pitch next to statics, like others were. 1st morning we woke to building work starting on statics 08.00 - 21.00 without any notice given, could not be moved to another pitch site was fully booked.
Toilet block not 4 or 5 star standard, door locks broken, toilets leaking one day & flooded the next. Security an issue on this site, no barrier on entrance, anyone can come & go 24 hours a day unchallenged by staff.
Safety for children on this site, lots of families & children left un supervised riding around the site roads.
This site goes straight into the top five of our favourites!
We booked in enclosure D which has super pitches separated by hedges, plenty of space and your own grass area, the other pitches looked a bit tight. There was some noise from the playground but being a sunny weekend in July - that's what you get. The staff did clear all the kids off to bed about 10pm which is an indication of how good they are!
The facilities are the best and cleanest we have ever seen - probably due to the £5 deposit key system for the loo's, which as we all know can be a pain but if its a price to pay for the cleanliness its worth it.
The site is kept very well has a good accessory shop, excellent bar, facilities for kids are great, brilliant playground and an indoor one in the bar. Shop on site is only basics but there's a good local one at the gate.
It is a fairly small site mainly statics but they do get all you need fitted in, including a neat dog walk around the perimeter.
Its all kept to a very high standard.
Berwick is walkable, albeit down busy roads, its a nice enough place but a little down trodden. We found the beach at Spittal which is a 25 min walk, and is well worth it, nice beach and a cafe.
We usually use public transport and leave the van parked up, but this is a challenge here, there is a local bus outside the gate but most options go from Berwick, so we used the van as transport.
You must got to Bambugh - lovely place and the beach is out of this world!
Loved this site, we had a great hedge-lined pitch easily large enough for our Hartford XL, with electric hook up.
Tent pitches are close to small football pitch and new-looking park and crazy golf, so kids were happy.
Toilet and shower facilities clean, well maintained and close by.
Excellent camping equipment shop on site with small games room, newsagents for basic provisions across road from entrance, supermarket five minutes away.
On site bar with reasonably priced drinks.
This is mainly a site for statics and tourers, tents are definitely in the minority, but staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly.
Northumberland coast and attractions all within a short drive.
Just spent 4 nights here on a tourer 'super' pitch, which has electric hook up, water and tv aerial. Pitch fees worked out at £32.00 per night which included pitch, awning, 2 adults and 2 dogs, which we felt were high but it was over a bank holiday weekend.
The touring pitches are v.Generous, almost square in size but the gang-way isn't very wide which meant more manoeuvring than usual to get into the pitch. Pitches are bordered either side by large mature hedging and are situated nearest the road but a high wall around most of the perimeter of the camp site ensures minimum road noise and a secluded, reasonably quiet spot.
There is a newly-opened shop on site but it is primarily a camping shop (albeit very comprehensively stocked) so you'll still have to visit the small village shop directly opposite the camp site for your daily newspaper.
The camp site itself is very nicely kept with large areas left to encourage wildlife, a large children's play area, club house and a large grassed area for football. There is a dog walk around the perimeter of the site which takes approx half an hour to complete but it would have been nice to have had an enclosed dog exercise area, given the amount of room dedicated to wildlife/wild planting.
There is an open grassed village green just five mins down the road but it is very open and unfortunately wasn't suited to my dog's inquisitive nature. The town of Berwick is an easy walk of approx 25 mins and is a good base for exploring Northumberland, with Lindisfarne only ten mins drive away and Alnwick only 30 miles away.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful too.
Site was immaculate, couldn't fault it! Staff all very friendly & helpful, guy in camp shop so trusting & friendly & helpful, we bought a table off him, we weren't sure it would fit, he told us to take it with us and if it ok pay him when we pass!
Play area for kids was fab, great for young & older kids, great funky crazy golf next to play area, lots of nice seating areas scattered all over the park! Lovely dog walk around outskirts of site!
We stayed in Old Orchard D area which was lovely & sheltered from any windsm also they had fully serviced pitches here including a connection for satellite tv & normal tv. We hired a cable off reception £20 deposit which you get back when you leave which was great!
Superb site. Clean, well organised, great facilities & good location. Staff really friendly. Site rules re noise etc well-observed by guests when we were there.
Food very good in club house & reasonably priced. Only disappointment was that we couldn't get a TV signal on either digital or analogue & the children's playground was out of action due to mud. Will definitely revisit. A+++++
Ord house is a fabulous campsite where me, my husband, my two children (11 and 7) and dog stayed for 4 nights. There was friendly staff, well sheltered pitches, immaculately clean facilities, big fun safe play ground, brilliant crazy golf and very cheap prices and the newly opened shop- which sells everything!
The weather was lovely even though we went in the beginning of April. I recommend going in the spring or summer due to all the outdoor activities which would not be as enjoyable in bad weather.
There are many attractions near by which both me and my family thoroughly enjoyed such as all the wonderful castles, Alnwick gardens, Craster, Lidis Farne, beaches and lots more. There is also a sainsburys a morrisons and an m&s which are all good quality and are very near the campsite. They are not huge but they arnt small either.
I rate ord house 9/10 the things letting it slip is the food served at the pub which isn't bad but isn't wow.
One of the best camps I've ever had because of the attractions the location it is really safe for small kids and even though it blew a gail on the beaches we were very very sheltered on site. Not the first site I'd recommend but it would be on the list somewhere.
Just had 4 nights at Ord house, couldn't fault the place, just off the A1 south of Berwick (no road noise evident). Brilliant facilities and even a camping shop on site should you need anything.
Food available most days and prices seemed reasonable.Well placed for touring the area, we visited Cragside and would recommend for a day out. Would visit this site again without hesitation and would certainly recommend.
Fabulous! Staff very friendly and helpful, lovely pitches, well sheltered from any wind (which does make a change)
The unsung hero's on this site really are the cleaners, we never saw them, but the facilities were always spotless. The family bathrooms were a real treat and made it much easier for us all and meant Mum didn't have to take the girls all the time!
The radio playing in the toilets was also nice. The whole site is very well thought out and planned.
The local pub the Salmon Inn is fantastic, only a short walk and the kids loved the park outside it. The local leisure centre was brilliant with a water slide and wave pool, we cycled there.
The only downside to the site itself was the club house - which does not have real ales and only does food Wed-Sun (and not Sunday night). This was not a problem, but you should be aware if you arrive hungry after a long drive.
Stayed here for 1 week, great location for touring border area, one minute and your on the main road north or south. Holy island was a good day trip as was the feeding of the seals at eyemouth, and the boat trip that left from eyemouth was very informative. The site itself was very clean and toilet block was cleaned regularly. Tent area was private and well situated. Disappointed with the club as there was no entertainment, only entertainment was one bingo night. Park area was good for children.
We had a great week at ord house great campsite. Very clean, and well kept. Toilets were great, me and my daughter had a bath. Food was ok, club house was ok, entertainment on sat and the following Friday. It was a shame it wasnt on every night as it was very quiet during the week. Great pub down the road will real ales and good food. Beware of the doves they give you an early morning call and don't leave food out at night as the local wildlife like to come and snack ! All the staff were very friendly too
Just back from Ord House, what a great site it is. Most of the tent pitches are a good size, easily enough for our family tent and car. Each pitch is kept quite private by hedges inbetween which we liked. There was plenty to keep our 5yr old amused, a large playing field for games, a large sandpit, children's park, crazy golf, table tennis. We ate in the clubhouse on the Friday night and the food was ok though not great. The prices were reasonable however and there was a soft play in back of the pub which meant we could enjoy a pint whilst our daughter played. Kids also have their own bar where they can buy juice, crisps and sweets. The staff were all very friendly and the toilets were very clean. The shower / toilet block was kept spotless clean. The showers were very spacious and free. Hairdryers (free also) were available. There is also a bath which is handy if your child doesn't like the shower. There is a small general shop just outside the site which sold most things inc.Newspapers, lottery etc On Sunday night we walked down to the Salmon Pub (approx 5 mins from the site) and found a very cosy little pub. Whilst we didn't eat there we were told the food was excellent and it certainly looked good. We will definitely return next year and would probably stay a little more than 2 nights.
