  • Top-notch family holiday park on the edge of Silloth
  • Close to the Galloway Hills and Lake District National Park
  • Indoor pool, restaurant-bar and busy activity/entertainment programme
Off to explore the Lake District, the Scottish Borders or Hadrian's Wall – and want to stay at a holiday park with heaps to do on site for when you’re not out and about? Nearby Solway Holiday Park should fit the bill, as it's had several million pounds on updating its leisure facilities to make this 130-acre holiday park a highly sought-after place to stay on the stunning Solway Firth coast. It’s also located within walking distance of the Victorian seaside town of Silloth, in a handy spot for all sorts of outings on both sides of the England/Scotland border. That mix means you can really tailor your holiday to your own tastes, whether you’re planning to explore the scenery of the Lake District National Park and Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, hit the beach or focus your attentions on the activities available on site (or some combination of all of the above…) And those activities… well, there are lots and lots of them to fill your time with. The indoor pool, sports field and games arcade might be a place to start (all of these being free to use) while you consider which of the other activities you might like to join in with. Might it be aqua games, teddy bear hunts or pirates and princesses adventures for the younger kids, or archery, zorbing, axe throwing and bird of prey experiences for older guests? Head over to reception to find out the options and put your schedule together. It’s really worth finding some time for the entertainment too – there’s a packed programme of all sorts from kids’ shows through karaoke and bingo to live music from top-notch performers. Of course, all the practicalities are covered here too – the site has a launderette, a mini market and a restaurant/bar that’s open through the day for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and drinks.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious pitches and staff found me a nice sheltered spot as weather was not the best on our stop over, Children enjoyed arcade. The restaurant was a good price. Shower block and toilets was clean, tidy and warm, Staff were Friendly and welcoming

Disliked It was rather boggy in touring area, possibly not helped by weather. I feel a little more TLC is required here, the whole are felt rather dated. Shame that Swimming pool was closed

The lady we spoke to in the arcade who worked there was exceptional.

Lisa L.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Not much

Disliked We had to wait a while for someone to show us our pitch. Regardless of what is advertised, there is no swimming pool, I was told by a member of staff it would be fixed within days then another member of staff told me management had no intention of fixing this.The toilets and showers were clean. The pitches were not well maintained boggy even in dry weather. Disruption on site with police in attendance, inappropriate behaviour from other campers speaking to our daughter about very inappropriate topics, disgusting!. We didn't stay our full holiday I would recommend to never visit here unless there is a major overhaul of the entire place.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The pitches were a good size and the staff were all helpful and friendly. The evening entertainment was good.

Disliked Unfortunately the swimming pool was closed during our stay which we were notified about the day before travelling. Finding the check in point was a challenge and site signage is not clear.
Cleanliness of the shower block and toilets was not the best.

Electric grass pitch

Liked GREAT THAT IT HAD A CLUB WITH ALCOHOL & ENTERTAIMENT

Disliked ALL GRASS PITCHES WERE FLOODED, THINK THEY NEED HARDSTANDING PITCHES NOW. STAFF IN RESTAURANT WERE RUDE & ARROGANT. SWIMMING POOL WASN'T OPEN, FOOTBALL PITCH IS HORRENDOUS. GAVE VOUCHERS OUT FOR CRAFTS, BUT MY 12YR OLD WASN'T INTERSTED AS HE WANTED SWIMMING POOL & FOOTBALL PITCH. COMPANY THAT OWNS THE PARK ARE IN ADMINSTRATION WHICH NO ONE TELLS YOU BEFORE GOING.

Electric grass pitch

Liked This site has potential , bar area and entertainment that was on was ok , craft area a nice touch and reasonably priced paint a pot , sand art , food not bad in restaurants and all looks to have been refurbished

Disliked Avoid this site in wet weather the ground was waterlogged to the point that cars and vans were being towed off with a tractor we spent the whole weekend covered in mud as did our units ,there is one man organising every and he’s definitely overstretched , the toilets were new but dirty all the time the shower block again dirty and only two showers working poorly , the electric kept tripping and the site was only half full , the site is apparently in administration so a lot of facilities were not open pool , fish shop pizza shop we only found this out on arrival

Local attractions

On the English side of the Firth, Solway guests can reach the north-western lakes of the Lake District National Park, day trips to Carlisle and the hills and stargazing of Northumberland National Park. On the Scottish side, you could hike the Galloway Hills, run away to Gretna or drive further afield to urban days out at Edinburgh or Glasgow. (To see it all at once, take a trip to championship Solway Golf Course where you can tee around to views of the Lakeland Fells, Galloway Hills and across to the Isle of Man.) Moseying towards Northumberland (stop off at Carlisle Castle and The Lanes shopping centre on the way), friends, Romans and countrymen can walk as much of the Hadrian’s Wall Path as they can manage: it’s the north of England’s most visited tourist attraction and most of it runs along the Solway Firth on its way to Northumberland. Happily for such a family-centred site, kiddish fun is all around Solway Holiday Park too: farm park Orton Grange, getting open-mouthed at the fish and other inhabitants at Lake District Coast Aquarium, or going on a hop around award-winning World of Beatrix Potter.
