  • 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.

What customers say

Great for families, with a pool, restaurant, bar and arcade. Friendly staff. Clean, modern showers. Pitches praised for size and choice. Some noise, occasional pitch issues and dated bits. Many keen to return.

Liked There is everything you would want or need - showers, toilets, washers, pitch on a grass with a very good ground to build a tent, electricity. You can also park your car next to your tent. Bonus is a swimming pool (a bit hard to book in advance due to limited spaces), restaurant, bar, amusement facilities, playground and other entertainment that we not used like kids club and etc. In overall campsite was very quiet and people respectful to one another despite the big football game.

Disliked Pizzas in the restaurant could be improved (quite poorly made base, very stingy on toppings… so it is almost like basic pizza with cheese). It would be nice to see on the menu a bowl of soup.

Staff were friendly, the welcome pack given was for another family that stayed longer than us… this we have noticed only after leaving the campsite as there was not much in that welcome pack - only map and entertainment tickets for the pool.

Pool staff were creating a weird and tensed atmosphere by walking weird that made them look like on drugs - back and forwards quite fast, turning their heads like chickens from one side to another (watching for people’s safety). I am not complaining for looking after, but if my child noted that and stated that they are acting weirdly, then I can say that I am not exaggerating. I think that they should be a little bit more chilled how they move, as they created quite tensed feeling when looking at their side like something wrong has happened.

Liked Great village, location lovely, toilets and showers very clean. The adult only bar was a good place to get away as we were travelling as a couple with no kids

Disliked Some of the pitches need a bit of maintenance, (large holes).we were in our caravan with awning.
The village was really busy with families, but a lot of the facilities were closed, the weather was great they would have been great business

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.
