About Us

Caring for Maryport's community
since day one

Solway House is a residential care home situated in Maryport, on the West Cumbrian coast. Set within a grand Victorian building with well-maintained gardens, we provide a warm, comfortable environment for older adults who need a little extra support.

We have 18 beds and provide around-the-clock care, with a dedicated team who work hard to ensure every resident feels safe, well looked after, and truly at home. We also offer respite care for those needing short-term support.

As a family-run home, we take pride in building genuine relationships — with residents, their families, and the wider Maryport community.

What We Offer

Care tailored to each individual

We provide a range of care services delivered with warmth, respect, and a genuine commitment to each resident's wellbeing.

Residential Care

For those who need support with daily living, we provide comfortable accommodation, nutritious meals, laundry, and personalised care in a warm, homely setting.

Respite Care

Short-term respite care to give family carers a well-deserved break, while their loved one receives the same level of attentive, compassionate care.

Dementia Care

Our team is trained to provide sensitive, person-centred support for residents living with dementia, in a calm and familiar environment.

Person-Centred Approach

Every resident has their own care plan built around their individual needs, routines, and preferences. We listen, and we adapt.

Activities & Wellbeing

From social events and gentle activities to quiet time in the garden, we keep residents engaged, stimulated, and connected to the community.

Open to Families

We welcome family visits at any time. Close involvement from loved ones plays a vital role in every resident's happiness and wellbeing.

Where We Are

In the heart of Maryport

Solway House is located in Maryport, a charming harbour town on the West Cumbrian coast. The town centre, local amenities, and the beautiful Solway Firth coastline are all close by — making it an ideal setting for residents and visiting families alike.

We are easily accessible from Workington, Cockermouth, and the wider Cumbria area.

What Families Say

Reviews from our residents' families

★★★★★

Mam was a resident at Solway House for 2 years, she was treated with love, dignity and respect from all members of staff — a real home from home. Excellent homemade food and plenty of it, activities, garden party, pie and pea suppers with everyone welcome. During Mam's final illness the care given to our whole family was above and beyond, nothing was any trouble. We cannot praise Solway House highly enough and would recommend it to anyone looking for residential care for their loved one.

Mam has been in Solway House for 2 years, the staff are brilliant and attentive to Mam and all our family. This place should be nominated as a 5 star residential home for your family member to be looked after in their later life.

Mam has improved both physically and emotionally during the short time she has been with Solway House. Nutrition is first class, every member of staff are professional, approachable and ensure the residents' needs are met to the fullest. It really is a case of residents being put first.

Lovely caring staff, nothing is too much trouble. The lounge is comfortable and the conservatory is bright and airy. They encourage independence and the food is home-cooked with good portions and a choice of menu. I was really concerned when my relative had to go into a care home but feel we landed on our feet when we were sent to Solway House. I can't thank them enough for the care they have given to both of us.
