29 Mar 2011: the allan's 2009 from northumberland reviewed Ord House Country Park

we have visited this site alot in the past couple of years. it is a friendly welcoming site with everything you need. the toilet and shower blocks are spotless although the showers could do with updating (more powerfull). but the family bathrooms are fantastic when you have young children. all in all a great place to visit with a bar on site, a shop and food available for more stress free tea times. if i have to choose some negatives about this site it would be that it can get very busy in peak season so if you are wanting a more relaxed time this would not be our first choice. the t.v reception is poor but should be better in 2012 and although there are security cameras alot of the public come and go so not 100% safe and secure.

22 Aug 2009: Alex Kemp from Stenhousemuir, Stirlingshire reviewed Ord House Country Park

Myself and my family visited this site for a 10 day visit with our tourer, we found the park it self to be beautifully maintained with always someone somewhere working on tidying up the grassed or shrubbed area`s. Toilet facilities very clean and the added bonus of bath`s which our two young boys enjoyed.
The bar area was excellent for meals and the odd tipple while the location of the soft play allowed you to relax while still being able you keep an eye on the kids.
All staff around the park were extermely friendly and helpful and would take time to speak to you or answer any queries you may have from places to visit or even on the types of flowers and shrubs in the gardens.
Overall a 5 star service from a deserving 5 star park and would gladly recommend this site to anyone considering a break in the area.

We are a family with a 4 year old daughter, we've just returned from a very enjoyable weekend at Ord House. It was our first experienc e of camping and we picked a good site to try it out. The site is very clean and tidy, the toilet blocks are very clean with plenty of hot water and the staff are very helpful. Our pitch was right next to the playground, great during the day but difficult to get my daughter to sleep before 10pm! These this happen though. A five star campsite and well recommended.

21 Feb 2008: magswren from West Lothian reviewed Ord House Country Park

My family and I started going to Ord in 2003 with an old tourer, we found the park to be very clean, with curteous friendly staff and are still there to date, having upgraded to a static van. Ord House is a family friendly site, the owners (Billy & Julie) are very nice as are the staff. the park is well kept and certainly deserves all of its awards, the washrooms are always kept spotless(thanks Viv), the clubhouse is fab (we frequent it regularly) and we have made many friends some of whom will be lifelong friends.
All in all a child friendly welcoming park well worth a visit or longer stay. I give this park a 5* rating but would like to give it 10.

Practical Caravan Great Escapes recommended park Dec 2006

As close to the Scottish border as you can get, this site is in the grounds of an 18th-century manor house. The house itself is home to the site’s bar, restaurant and family room, which has a ball pool and soft play area. There is also a quiet, child-free lounge with its more relaxed atmosphere, and a well-stocked caravan accessories shop.

Close to the Scottish border, Ord House is one of England’s most northerly parks, near the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The approach is easy, with clear signposts leading drivers from the A1 through the small village of East Ord.

of medieval fortifications with gateways, curtain walls and projecting bastions.

And there's plenty to do here, too. The ancient town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is just three miles away, and is famous for having changed hands 13 times between England and Scotland. Nowadays it has a market twice a week, as well as busy shops for all your needs. Also not far from the site are some beautiful Northumbrian beaches, or you can head north to visit the stunning countryside of the Scottish Borders, which inspired writers such as Sir Walter Scott and John Buchan.

Practical Caravans Top 100 Parks Awards 2003

Ord House Country Park lies just one mile from the Scottish border, a short drive from the historic market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The 40-acre site houses 75 touring and tent pitches in grounds whose imaginative layout means the site always feels pleasantly spacious.

The wide lawns are kept well mown, whilst colourful flowerbeds and shrubs are lovingly cared for all year round. Ord House itself, an 18th century mansion, has been converted to house a family bar and restaurant, as well as a shop well-stocked with camping and caravanning supplies.

The pitches, all of which have electricity (10A), are grouped in small sections, and each is shaded by hedges or trees. Nineteen pitches stand within a walled garden, each divided from the other by flowers and camomile lawns. Both hardstanding and grass pitches are available. There are a few pitches near the park gates, which are ideal for wheelchair users. In fact, the whole site is wheelchair friendly, with access to the mansion house and gardens. The site caters well for the whole family, with activities for children of all ages.

Ord House also provides a perfect base to explore the Northumbrian coastline and visit the castles of Bamburgh and Alnwick, Lindisfarne monastery, and take a boat trip to the Farne Islands for seal and puffin spotting.
