we went back to solway holiday village on 20th april 2013. this time we had a ullswater chalet. it was a lot better than the caravan we had last year. very spacious, and although you had to pay for the electricity it was surprisingly low cost. we had the heating going 24/7 some days, and we never used £7.00 for...

We stayed last week in the Solway Holiday Village. We booked via The Sun newspaper and extended our holiday to 7 days as it was to be a special trip (we popped up to Gretna Green to get married while staying there!).

Worst place we have ever(nearly) stayed, it was a joke, we were supposed to be staying in Lodge plus log cabin with hot tub, took ages to find log cabin, (there were only 2 that we saw), Ours had a 5ft by 3ft FOR SALE sign on it, on a site junction, the hot tub was in full view of... More

The only smiles I saw were from a lady at reception and the man up at the farm! The bar staff are miserable and rude and very unhelpful!!!!!!! They're more interested in eating their own dinner, making up new pizza boxes and sorting knives and forks. They seemed to prefer doing anything that meant they could turn their back on... More

It might have been a good thing though as I went expecting the worst, but what we got was a decent experience. Yes, the place is dated, Yes, the facilities are meagre BUT if you're using this place... More
