Liked: The toilet/shower and washing up facilities were great. The hard standing pitch was great for our campervan. The staff were really helpful. A small site but fine for a night.
Disliked: No free WiFi as stated,so my older children weren't happy.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Staff were super friendly throughout our weekend. We had meals in the bistro, food was amazing! It was our first holiday with our 2 labrador puppies, they were able to be with us everywhere we went on site which was amazing. The toilet block was very clean, modern and had all the facilities we needed.
Disliked: The size of the pitches were small, we did feel we were on top of other campers who were next to us. (electric pitches)

Liked: Solway is a lovely place with friendly staff that make you very welcome, having a disabled adult daughter I need attention to detail for her and they provide that every time. I would recommend this camping and holiday accommodation and the food at the bistro is amazing
Disliked: Toilets need more attention when it is busy

Power optional gravel RV campsite
Liked: Lovely toilets/ showers in the Gym area. Lovely bar area.
Disliked: We were parked on the gravel car park rather than the main campsite area. Probably my fault as I booked gravel because we didn't want to be on grass. Was a bit noisy from the bar but it did close relatively early.
