  • 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.

Liked Alistair was helpful at the touring reception. Pitch site was decent.

Disliked When we arrived we were told that the booking had been cancelled, which i hadnt. Prices were ridiculously high. Bar staff were really slow and poor. Not enough staff on a bank holiday weekend which then made customers drinknout of plastic cups as there was none to collect and clean glasses. Extremely disappointing service.

Liked Nice large spaces, site was reasonably priced, clean, good shower facilities decent entertainment for the kids. The man and woman who ran the arcades were absolutely fantastic nothing was too much trouble for them no matter how many times you call them over because your sweets were stuck

Disliked We were there a week and security do nothing, loud music supposed to stop at 11pm, still going until 4am, open fires, police there one night but that’s because some people can’t handle their alcohol, people pulling up and no one telling them where to pitch so they were going where they want making them too close to yours and other pitches making them a fire risk

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 The facilities were good no complaints.

Disliked We were allocated pitches 2 and 3 on the camping slots as my niece also had a pitch.

Please do not accept them if you want any sleep, as they are opposite the toilet facilities, powerful had dryer's constantly being used right through the day and night, then it's starts getting very busy from 5am, all the kids were constantly round them like moths to a light screaming shouting, riding fast electric bikes and scooters all day until 10pm, and to top it off a water point is right outside your tent causing your tent guide ropes to be pulled out or tripped over,no privacy as they all watched you as they filled up, even though 20 feet away attached to the toilets block was a second water tap.

So the second night a huge argument started at 11pm going on until the police arrive at 2.30am and arrested them, the hole camp was awake.

To be fare .... It was the clientele, security had no control.

We left two days early because we couldn't cope with the noise any more or the feral kids.

My advice if you can handle the constant noise this camp would suit you or go when the school holidays finish because parents just let their kids run feral.

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

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.
