Solway Holiday Park

Liked The touring manager at the site was very helpful and polite. The toilet facilities, showers and washing up facilities were of good quality and cleaned regularly. The activities on site were good (we went swimming, took part in superhero training, did sand art, archery, hired peddle go karts and went to the Cove Crew show). It was nice to have electric hook up.

Disliked Though the toilet facilities were of good quality and cleaned regularly, they were often left unclean by those who used them. There were lots of children who were left to roam the site without adult supervision who behaved in a very antisocial manner. The site was very noisy from 7pm till the 11pm curfew (and often continued to be noisy after that too). You could here children and adults swearing loud karaoke singing and lots of adults were drinking alcohol too. Our children could not get to sleep and were often anxious about what was going on outside of the tent. This made the evening squire stressful.

There was nowhere to change gas cannisters or to freeze ice packs for our cool boxes. This meant we had to go into Carlisle to buy extra equipment.

Seaguls would often fly over and defecate on the tent and cars.

Our daughter has milk intolerance and the shop on site did not sell any milk alternatives (ie oat milk/soya milk).

Liked The campsite was good, we would return. We camped on an electric hook up and the pitches were flat.

Toilets were cleaned regularly.

Great swimming is included in price and other bits going on for the kids.

Disliked Showers became blocked and lots of water from multiple showers built up at feet.

Could do with another washroom for washing dishes. Only 2 sinks and often had to queue.

Kids club definitely needs air con!

Liked The facilities were nice and clean and close by. There was plenty to do there for the kids.

Disliked You weren’t allocated a pitch so it was slim pickings when we got there, we paid for an electric pitch and there were only 2 electric ones left to choose from and they were on rocks so we were standing on stones through the tent. I don’t think there was anyone actually checking who had paid for electric and who hadn’t as no one checked us

Liked Modern well kept showers, toilets and washing up facilities.
Plenty for the kids to do.
Food was great in both the restaurants and the takeaways.
Staff were well trained (SIA Licensed)

Disliked I found myself and the family squeezed in like sardines. This is a great site for groups that will stay up into the early hours of the morning causing havoc. Car horns beeping at night, arrests the next night, women throwing up their drinks in the mens toilets, kareokee tent next to us going till 1am, no site security or warden after hours, no peace and quiet the whole week.
Pitches themselves weren't much better, covered in rubbish when we arrived and the ground was awful. Make sure you take a long elec cable (25M+) as some pitches were a fair distance from a hook up
Great site if you like this kind of thing but if you want the peace and quite then this isn't the place.

Great atmosphere

Disliked The fish and chip shop is awful and it was the same the year before. Quality of food terrible and staff not confident to fix order when it is wrong.

Liked New toilet block.

Disliked Filthy site with lots of rubbish strewn around. No where to drop grey water and a single drinking water tap to try to fill up the on board fresh water tank. Those two was not in an accessible place and had to be abandoned.

Liked Gluten free menu options
Sign posted clearly
Clean well maintained toiletsArcade staff friendly and polite fantastic with autistic son picking prizes

Disliked Limited swim session and having to book a day in advance, this should be more clearly advertised.

Male life guard would only talk to female swimmers, noted for a good 45 minutes this was very off putting for family . When I did attempt to speak with him he passed me on to another life guard so he could continue a casual conversation with a group of females.

Arcade is very understaffed and constant issues with machines on multiple visits

Liked The pizzas are very nice but a little expensive. Plenty to do for children on site.

Disliked Even though stated minimum distance of 3 metres between pitches we was lucky if we have 1.5m between tents either side of us. Pitches are not as big as stated. Our 6x4m tent just about fit on our pitch. Very noisy at night, lots of people making noise after the 11pm curfew. Lot of rubbish around the site, hardly saw any workers in the touring part of the site over the 4 days we was there.
