Solway Holiday Park

Liked There is plenty to do with children on the site, arcades, classes at an additional cost and sport cages (tennis) but not much free space to have a kick about or fly a kite.

Disliked We had booked for a 4 night stay, when booking it asks what pitch size you want, this information is not passed onto the poor chap who assigns the pitches to the guests arriving. He had to drive around to find a pitch that was suitable for our tent size. On the website it states that there is a minimum of 3 metres between pitches, again not the case, the first pitch we had been given had about 1.5 metres between the tents. The 2nd pitch had about 2.5 meters (legal requirements is 3 minimum).
The swimming you are given an hour a day if you arrive in time to book this the day prior.
The facilities are ok and the domestic staff have their work cut out! 3 out of the 4 mornings going to the toilets people had been sick in multiple cubicles (on the floor) when talking to one of the domestic staff she felt sorry for the families that have to bring children into the toilets due to the conditions selfish people had left them in. We had a young child with us and I would go in to establish which toilet was safe for her to use.
They have a late night disco in the entertainment complex, please be warned that this music can be heard far away. Our pitch was about a 7 minute walk from the complex and it could still be heard at 3am.

Bring a long electric hook-up cable as the ports can be quite far away.

Liked Location was great. Campsite was well looked after with good facilities

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked That there were quiet a few activities and it’s family friendly

Disliked The state of shower rooms, toilets, not regularly cleaned despite of no rain in the 3 days we camped, it should have been kept in a better state. There were no extra hooks inside the shower rooms to keep your stuff hanging and clothes and towels kept falling off the one peg inside the shower rooms.

Liked The pitches. The grounds. Astro football pitch was a huge hit! The grounds were lovely and clean. Arcades were also good. Would return!

Disliked The showers are not maintained/ cleaned enough!! Constant drainage issues.

Liked Plenty of food/drink options on site.

Worth a walk into Silloth

Disliked The camping field needs some attention. Pitch very small. No where to sit outside. The pitch was scrub and stones.

Toilets and showers modern but cant cope with the amount of people using them. Despite the best efforts of staff trying to keep on top of the cleaning, they were often dirty. The shower drainage needs addressing as one morning everyone was ankle deep in water.

The holiday park is geared towards children with no entertainment geared towards adults.

People did respect the quiet time after 11pm, shame they didn't respect fellow campers by drowning everyone else's music out with theirs on full blast all day every day.

Liked Showers & toilets were great & staff help when I had a problem was good too. Area is lovely, right on the coast so once you’re offsite it’s great. The activities offered were good & food we had good too. Though sometimes difficult to access with dogs

Disliked Touring site is a bit messy. No logic to where people set up with tents/motorhomes/caravans intermingled We didn’t arrive till late and I was told to pick whichever pitch I wanted so I assumed (wrongly) there was plenty of space. It took ages to find one so by the time we did the office was shut and no help to be had. It wasn’t the worse but could’ve been handled better as I had informed them I would be late but I still arrived before the end of the check in time. The site on the whole was disorganised with no clear signs. It looks a bit neglected
