Park life offers fun for all the family


With longer nights and better weather right here at home, it often seems a a little indulgent – not to mention expensive – to jet off on a summer holiday abroad. For quality and value almost on your doorstep, Stanwix Park in Cumbria offer both quality and value.
Just over two-and-a-half hours’ drive from Edinburgh, it’s located in the popular Victorian seaside town of Silloth with its 35-acre green, striking promenade and sandy west beach.
Voted Holiday Centre of the Year at the 2023 AA Caravan and Camping Awards, the park is situated on Cumbria’s Solway Coast next to a designated area of outstanding natural beauty that affords visitors breathtaking views of the sunsets over the Solway Firth which forms part of the border between Scotland and England.
Stanwix Park offers a choice of self-catering apartments and caravans to hire for three-, four- and seven-night breaks. They can accommodate four to eight people and range in class from Silver to Platinum – the choice is yours! The park also offers both pet-free and pet-friendly accommodation so you can bring all the members of your family on holiday. A maximum of two pets can be accepted per booking.
If you book seven nights or more for a camping or touring vehicle you’ll receive a 10 per cent discount on the cost of your stay. All pitches are fully serviced with electricity, water and grey waste hook-up (a minimum stay of two nights is required).
You can also enjoy camping without a tent as the park offers camping pods (available to book for a minimum of two nights).
Whatever you choose, unlimited use of the park’s newly refurbished leisure and entertainment centre is included in your total holiday cost – and there’s a lot to keep you occupied.
There’s both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, gym, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, foot spas and heated loungers. Children are well catered to with a bowling alley, amusement arcade and a mini soft play area.
The park’s Sunset Inn programmes popular family entertainment every night with a selection of live music, magic shows and special guests. Meanwhile, the park’s Dunes Bar offers adults-only entertainment in the form of cash bingo, live music and variety nights.
Stanwix Park is a family-run enterprise that – as last year’s AA award for Best Holiday Centre attests – truly puts families first.
