PLEASE BEFORE YOU VOTE COLD I AM JUST RELAYING WHAT IS IN MY LOCAL PAPER!!! I know there are sometimes very small fees and small print but it all looks real to me, you just prob need to get your food and pay for upgrades, i havent called them myself as i live a little way away but would benefits some people so thought worth a mention, didnt know wether to add it to FREEBIES OR DEALS so added it on freebies as the ad mentions its free. Ok here goes

This is what it says in the paper ok......

Hurry and dont delay as these are going fast.
Simply choose from Camber Sands or Southport on 18th dec to the 20th dec.
To take advantage of this break call 0844 576 5944 and quote *N996* Based on 4 sharing.

If anyone has a result from this please give feedback, just a quick message, i know it will only benefit some so please bear this in mind when voting thankyou.

Apparently theres ice skating, enchanted shows, 70 activities, i have never been so can only write what i am reading

edit for quote;Have booked for Southport - offer still going, but if you call mention that you have seen it in a local paper and NOT online - they havent advertised online and didnt want to let us book because we said this! Thanks though, we are going

  • Just make sure you take a jet wash and some damp and midlew remover to clean your room. Oh and also you'd better make sure you've had all your jabs. And by the way, practice dodging footballs in no ball games areas... (if anyone would like to see some photos of the three rooms we had at camber then you are welcome to ask for them. Each one was as bad as the other.)
  • LOL :rotfl:
    I did this free one 2 years ago, you are right OP it is all free, and when you get to your room you will see why!
    I too stayed at Camber, and have never been back to a pntins since. my 2 yr old loved it, but he didt see the mould, the dirty chairs, dirty dishes left in the chalet, the HUGE spiders in the curtains or the filthy carpets and shower!
    Im glad we took our own bedding and duvets/pillows tbh.

  • Thank you OP this is a fantastic find. I'm capable of having a clean if need be but we've never had any trouble. Pontins is cheap and cheerful, and my little girl will be over the moon as this is her birthday weekend. Like many others we've had very few times away this year and this is very appreciated :-)
    hey there's no money but we couldn't be happier if we tried
    £2 coin pot - £92!

    I know Pontins isnt everyones come of tea, but if you lived close enough you could book but not stay there, just get your passes and have the facilities and entertainment for free and go home to sleep each night.

    book 2 places, 1 adult in each and split the kids on your booking, take a ready bed with you for the youngest and just use 1 room when you get there.

    seems you can upgrade to 2 room apartments for £30 if you want more room for the one room you will use - see hduk link in post 1
