Solley's Ice Cream Campsite Reviews

Fantastic for an overnight ferry

Great site for an overnight before ferry from Dover. Host was not there when we arrived but guided us in via phone. Very helpful. Pub was only open until 8 but we didn’t need more than that. Girl behind the bar very helpful. Quite busy but very quiet

Lovely as always

Great campsite with hot showers and a bar! Fantastic.

Campground near Dover, narrow road, no gray water dump

Narrow road. No grey water dump station. Nobody around, had to make phone call. Ice cream was good - you should try.

Hello Sabrina Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you found the country lanes a bit tight. Unfortunately I have no control over the access to the sight, but do advise a preferred route on request. I understand you phoned my site manager Rob who talked you on to your pitch 20 as he was unfortunately called away but asked you to phone him if you had any questions. We try to recommend the grey water waste is placed under the new hedging to keep it moist rather than it placed in the chemical waste unit which was approximately 25metres in front of your pitch. I hope this clarifies your concerns and I am glad you enjoyed your ice cream and hopefully you will return another day. Regards Stephen

Excellent

Highly recommend a stay a Solley's... Great facilities and the shower block is very clean. Pizza van on a Friday night which was delicious. Can't fault the stay at all, be great if there was a small shop but that's just being greedy. We were greeted and shown our pitch which was pitch 23. Water tap opposite the pitch and just a few yards from the showers and toilets.

Best campsite we have stayed at

We would really recommend Solley's campsite. Rob was very friendly and made sure that we settled in well. Solley's ice cream is absolutely delicious. The campsite is well kept. There was a pizza night on Friday, the wood fired pizza was amazing better than any take away. A well equipped bar was on site, and there was a band playing on Saturday. Walks around the farm were beautiful and very peaceful. We will definitely return.

Hello Nicky, Thank you very much for your review. I'm glad Rob looked after you as one would expect. We try hard to welcome and help every one that visits. I have also informed Rob of your comment thank you. Regards Stephen

Fab people and ice cream

Rob was brilliant as were all the staff. Super friendly and helpful. Do check before you go for activities. Ice cream super, fantastic cappuccinos and bacon roles. Great club bar.

Great place for some time out

Very quiet when we were there, and all in great order. The location was lovely, rolling fields great for dog walking. Pitches were well spaced out you did not feel hemmed in, shrubs have been planted to separate hard standing pitches. The toilet block was very well maintained, providing a shower, basin and toilet. There was a bar available in the evening, not long hours but a good meeting place. Food and ice cream, of course, was available on site and at a fair price. The site for us provided all that we wanted for a three day break, would certainly consider returning. The team on site were all very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic couple of nights

What can I say, absolutely the best place to camp or pitch up. Great facilities including a pub and lovely clean showers/toilets. Staff are so polite and helpful. This is our 3rd year to Solley's, we will be back again. 5 stars from us 🌞👍😃

Excellent weekend

Excellent weekend, site lovely, pub and ice cream were good. Site clean and friendly. Will be going back.

Excellent site, perfect for Eurotunnel travel

Nice site, friendly staff & an excellent little pub. 10/10 would use again.

Great site, food and ice cream

Great site, only 30 mins from the Euro Tunnel. BBQ at the side of the pub served delicious burgers and sausage, very professional set up where the staff actually care about your stay. The showers and toilets could do with a revamp but they were clean. Finally, the ice creams were great, with generous portions too. We'll be back.

Brilliant family campsite

We loved our stay, will definitely be back. Live music at the onsite pub was great, ice cream parlour went down very well with the kids. Great campsite.

Brilliant site

Great little site with inspired ice-cream parlour and pub. Nice walks. Beautiful area and very respectful campers. Extremely quiet from 10pm. Will definitely be back :)

Excellent

Staff were very friendly and Steven, the owner, was fantastic as we had a few issues with setting up as was first time in motorhome. Ice cream is amazing, café at ice cream parlour is great.

A lovely stay

We really enjoyed our break at Solley's. The only negative was toilet (not shower cubical toilets) could do with being decorated and made a bit cleaner.

Hello Wil Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad you have had a pleasant time with us and hope to meet you again . Regards Stephen

Good but on view

Good, but planted hedge between the pub and campsite will tale too long to grow. Suggest bare root stock of native hedgerow plants of hawthorn etc. Will be 6ft in a few years. No good on Saturday evening though, had to order takeaway.

Hello Karl Thank you for your review. I have taken onboard your comments. Regards Stephen

Fantastic weekend

Had a fabulous time at this site, hosts were very welcoming, great clean facilities, visited the onsite pub that had live music playing. There were tractor rides and the ice cream parlour was lovely too. A great site for all. We will be back again. Thank you.

Perfect paddock stay

We treated ourselves to a little stay in the paddock to end our first motorhome trip away. We chose it because it offered a space for one of our dogs who is reactive and it was perfect. We received a lovely welcome and were shown to our pitch. The site is lovely and intimate and clean. The paddock is the size of 3 pitches and we were able to close the gate for extra security for the dogs. We were sheltered from the wind as there are trees all around. We had a quick drink in the bar which is dog friendly and even had a fish and chip takeaway delivered to site from the Happy Fryer ☺️ We had electric hook up and fresh water and such a peaceful stay; we didn’t want to leave. We live locally, so we will definitely return. This would be a perfect little spot for a group of friends or family to spend time together. Thank you for providing such a lovely space.

Great stay, will definitely visit again

Lovely site to stay on. Great location if staying multiple nights as lots to do nearby. Campsite has lovely facilities which were kept clean and large shower/toilets facilities great to accommodate families. Pub and ice cream parlour on site a great benefit and all staff very friendly.

Lovely place, quiet, plenty of walks

Will definitely go there again! Shower block was clean and modern looking. Walks and scenic views.

Hello David, thank you for your review. I'm glad you had an enjoyable stay and look forward to meeting you again. Regards, Stephen.

Lovely & comfortable

Brilliant stopover for our journey onto Calais. Weather was great & the pub on site was an added bonus. Only downside was the tight narrow lanes leading to the sight as some home owners hadn't trimmed their hedges, but this wouldn't put me off staying again.

Hello Lesley Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stopover and are enjoying your French trip. Hope to meet you again. Regards, Stephen

Friendly team, great location

The team at Solley's campsite were very friendly and helpful. Facilities are great with an onsite pub and ice cream parlour. The location is ideal for the coastal walk as the train station at Walmley, a 25 minute walk away across glorious countryside, connects Folkestone to Margate. I will certainly be back.

Great camping site

Lovely little site. Ice cream parlour was very nice, ice cream was delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic campsite

Fantastic campsite with great facilities, including a pub and ice cream parlour. It was the perfect location for us as a family of four with young kids and a dog. Will definitely come back.
