Solway Holiday Park

Liked Lots of entertainment for the kids, free swimming/arcades. food in the restaurant was ok, not a great selection. great location and great sunsets.

Disliked Toilet blocks weren’t cleaned enough as soon as they mop they allow you straight back in so the wet floor ends up thick of mud, toilet roll everywhere kids running all over the toilet/wash area. quite time is supposed to be 11 but we were up till 3:45am as people were being arrested. Poor security didn’t know what to do.

Liked We had a fantastic time camping. The facilities were much cleaner than expected for a camp site. There loads to do so the kids were never bored.

Liked Lovely atmosphere. Other campers amazing. Shower and toilet block fantastic. Didn't spend much time at the entertainment but looked fun. Drinks pricey. Had the pizzas from the van were very lovely.

Disliked Had issue with booking. Over paid by £43. Couldn't get anyone to help me from pitch up or the actual site. Kept getting bounced from one to another. Felt really let down by pitch up.

Liked Close to the town showers were nice and powerful and hot

Disliked Unfortunately the shower inclosure did not have any dry area so your standing in a wet shower trying to get dry and dressed and that's if you're clothes don't get wet too plenty of noisy people with no regard for anyone else dogs barking in caravan's while the owners are going out kids running around the toilet and shower block but they are just enjoying themselves which is fine take your own toilet paper when you go because there's not always paper in the toilet roll holder take food or go into town as the shop on site is quite expensive

Liked The location of Solway holiday park is good with the town, sea front and the arcade/ park only a short walk from the site. The facilities on the site are modern. The shower blocks were relatively clean and user friendly. There were a variety of activities on the site including swimming and an arcade with a great selection of games for the children to play. Most of our group were impressed with the food in the restaurant (with the exception of one incident) and the pizza truck in particicular was a hit.

Disliked Although the shower blocks were clean and up to a decent standard, unfortunately the toilets weren't great. The floors were dirty, the soap dispensers were not topped up and the sanitary bins were often overflowing.
Overall the pitch that we were allocated was spacious and out of the way of the crowds, however, we did have an issue with noise on the second night of our stay when another camper started playing loud music late in to the night (way past the 11pm curfew) with little consideration for the families around them. When we attempted to alert security on the phone number the site provided, the number did not connect and when we went to find a security guard to alert them in person, the security guard was very reluctant to go and speak to those involved (he did go eventually). Additionally there were a couple of instances where random children from elsewhere on the site would come to our tent/ on to our pitch and show an interest in our children's belongings which also made us feel a little uncomfortable. The number of children riding electric scooters or bikes extremely quickly was also disconcerting. Our kids are quite young and nearly got knocked off on a couple of occassions. Finally, we had a small issue at the restaurant when one member of our party was forced to send his food back twice. On the first occasion, his meal was extremely over cooked (the pie was rock solid) and on the second attempt it was cold inside. He received a refund in the end and left without a meal which did put a dampener on the evening.

Liked The camp site was lovely. Clean toilets and showers. Clean pitches and surrounding areas. Security were very good and made sure a large group kept the noise down on a night.
All staff we came across were very friendly. Would recommend for a few days get away. Restaurant food was nice. Would go again but probably not for more than 3 nights unless you are using it just for a base as there isn’t loads to do.

Disliked Not a lot i disliked
The only thing is the 2nd day we were there we came back to our tent and we were surrounded by a large group of about 10 tents that were all together. It felt very cramped and of course they were very loud and took over the pitches. I feel if a large group like that was to book again then it would be better to but them somewhere towards the bottom out of other people’s way. But like I said the security guard did a good job at keep them quiet

Liked Nice site good bar areas and arcade

Disliked I couldn't find a play park on site which I think is a big shame as kids would make friends there which helps adults out

Liked Close to the coast

Disliked The absolute height of disrespect and prejudice towards our group as fine respectable blokes and kids from
The Liverpool area. The animosity towards us from the staff was shocking. We were being accused of all sorts during our stay, #wearenotfirebugs. The club house and entertainment was a straight up scene from “little Britain”.

Liked Entertainment staff very friendly, entertainment was really good to very interactivr with the children and adults, arcade staff really friendly and helpful also very patient.

Disliked How small entertainment room is, too small for how big the site is, swimming pool was small 1m deep all through, no where to put your shoes back on as have to take them off before going to changing rooms also couldn't do anything in the pool if you have children can put them on your shoulders, just not really much to do as the camp is very run down and prices for the activities are really pricey for the time limits you have, we're a large family also I mean if they had a bundle package would of been much better for like the Dino carts ect we had to get 2 so was 20 pound deposit per cart so 40 and 20 pound each for the 2 so another 40 jist for a hr.
