  • 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.

What customers say

Reviewers praise the friendly staff, modern and clean toilet/shower facilities, and the range of activities for families. The location near the coast is also highlighted positively. However, numerous guests experienced issues with waterlogged pitches, particularly during wet weather, leading to difficulties pitching and mud. Some also reported noise disturbances, issues with entertainment access, and dated areas needing refurbishment. Dining experiences received mixed feedback.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly staff, easy check in, motorhome pitches nicely tucked away from holiday chalets, and a great place right beside pitches to walk the dogs. Toilet/shower block very clean. We only stayed one night so didn't get to see all this site has to offer.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site was in a good location. The view of the sea just outside the site was lovely.
The site called us before we arrived to let us know how to check in if we were arriving late. We appreciated that.

Disliked Guests on site created an inconsiderate amount of noise during the ’quiet hours.’ Not a pleasant stay and we had no option but to cut our trip short.

Could be a really good holiday park with a few tweaks

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lots to do for the kids although the activities were expensive. Evening entertainment was great especially the kids neon disco.

Disliked Food wasn't amazing, found a big hair in my loaded chips and ordered a pizza which was cold. Toilets were always dirty in the main complex. Staff worked hard, I just dont think there was enough of them. Toilets in the touring section were never clean either. Shop prices were also very expensive.

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.
