Good value hotel in a great location with friendly staff.
Pros:

Annexe room was adequate for our one-night stay, clean and comfortable. No view though.

Great evening meal despite lots of kids running around (suggest eating later to avoid).

Breakfast was fantastic with great choices and served to table rather than buffet style.

Cons:

Shortage of staff meant long waits at the bar to get a drink especially with bar staff also acting as Hotel Reception and dealing with customer queries.

Needed at least two more for the number of people in the busy wedding function room and dining/lounge areas.

Another lovely stay at the Solway.
Pros:

Hotel has a wonderful location for visiting the Outlet. This is our second visit to the hotel and will most certainly be back. Great choice of menu for both breakfast which is included in price and evening meal which is well priced.

Ok for one night
Pros:

The Breakfast was nice, it was convenient for our party at a nearby hotel

Cons:

Rooms were outside hotel, i much prefer to be in the main hotel, but wernt made aware of this beforehand. Pillows on bed were hard and flat, mirror light didn't work in bathroom. Window and frame was dirty. Furniture was tatty and shabby in room. Walls were thin and you could clearly hear every word from residents in adjacent room. Not very private.
