I have just come back from a week in the Lakes and have decided to try and have a go at reviewing the place we stayed.
Solway HolidayPark is situated in Silloth Cumbria (about 22 miles west of Carlisle) which is small village with a population of around 3000.
If you want a town with lots going on then Silloth is not for you, it has a lovely large green and a great sea view although it is not a beach. It also has cafes and the odd take away along with some little shops and of course a Spar (everywhere seems to have a Spar). Near the green is amusements which also sells refreshments.
The park itself was quite easy to find I got the directions from greenflag. As we drove in through the entrance the reception was quite well sign posted, when we booked we were told booking in time was 4pm (which I thought was a bit late but ...
Advantages: Good family centre with lots of on-site facilities. Disadvantages: Not as good in the cold wet weather of UK
I have been to the wonderful Sandford Park in Poole, Dorset, three times now. I went twice when I was younger, with my dad and brother and then returned as an adult, in 2001, with my husband and our kids. My husbands mum and dad also came with us and I will base this review mainly on my experiences there in 2001.

There is also space for holidaymakers with tents. We?re not really a camping sort of family so cannot ...
Advantages: Lots to do, beautiful area Disadvantages: couldn't fit everything in.
Last year I holidayed at Fallbarrow HolidayPark (a park run by the company South Lakeland Parks), and have an absolutely brilliant time.
A family of 7 of us all went to Fallbarrow together - me, my partner, my parents, my brother and his 2 children, who were at the time 5 and 2. We went in October last year, as my niece was on half term break.
More information on Fallbarrow can be found at http://www.slholidays.co.uk/Fallbarrow, we also booked online where there are some really good special offers!
* Accommodation *
We stayed in Green Farm Cottage which about £700 for 7 nights, which we all agreed was extremely reasonable.
The cottage is absolutely stunning, it has such character and we all fit in very comfortably. With three Double bedrooms we were all happy. A single and also a pull out double sofa bed, we were laughing ...
