  • 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.

Michael L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Welfare facilities. Bar and restaurant area.

Disliked: Most pitches were rutted and devoid of grass. Pitches were for every type of vehicle so tents would be erected on uneven and rough pitches mostly used by caravans or motorhomes. I think that the site mostly catered for these type of vehicles. This is our 2nd visit to Solway in about 2 months. The first was a spur of the moment booking the 2nd was booked well in advance. If I had known what the pitches were like I would not have booked. The shower and toilet block is new and we'll kept but there is nowhere to hang your garments or wash bag when showering except for one hook on the side. The restaurant and bar area were ok but staff were not too helpful. The on site fish and chip shop (Box Fish) was terrible.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: The site was nice and clean the bar/restaurant was new and fresh looking and nice food etc. we arrived late at night 10pm ish and there was still chance to get food from pizza van outside which was a bonus and the bar both open until midnight.

Mainly all the staff were very nice and helpful not one of them was miserable so that was the main pleasing factor for us.

Also the shower and toilet block in the touring site was nice and clean the showers were brilliant!

We will definitely return

Disliked: Nothing

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.
