    Do we know the last code word is?
    Or do we need to wait for the booking site to open first?
    I have missed out on being able to book anywhere we can get to for the last 2 years as by the time I get to try and book everywhere has gone. I was surprised I got a priority booking form this time, so I really want to try and get somewhere to take the kids this year.........
    Any help with the last code word would be very very gratefully accepted.

    were all hoping the last word is MARE as they have used the same codes as 2010 in the right order except they added 2 extra words in as in 2010 you only needed 8 code words xxx

    What experiences have people had in Europe? What is the standard of accommodation like? Is it clean?
    I have my priority code (bought from E.bay!) and I'm feeling confused about where to choose. I'm thinking of somewhere I France!
    Please help!!! This is the first year I have done this & I want to make it a positive experience!

    We have been to Parc des Alicourts in the Loire Valley on a Sun hol which was lovely. Ended up with a caravan with great raised deck area with table and chairs that was lovely to sit out for dinner in the evening. Also La Bien Assise near Calais which was a lovely site if you don't want to drive far.

    Was Park des Alicourts a busy site?

    I always pay for an upgrade- I went to Twitchen House last year and loved it so much we have paid full price to have the same caravan in the August school holidays- shame we couldn't book with The Sun!!!

    Have been booking Sun holidays for many years and have only had one bad experience in all that time


    Can I ask whether you can take a small dog to this park? We usually choose Parkdean as we have always been able to add our dog on afterwards for £30 but reading the FAQ on Twitchen House it states you can only take your dog if you book directly with the park and not through 3rd party newspaper promotions which I find strange.

    Has anybody taken their dog to this park before with the sun promotions? She is only a small non shedding terrier:D Maybe I cold hide her in my bag:rotfl:

    Many thanks

    Oh, and what's the weather like in Holland in October? And is the water park great?

    We have been twice,- once with the sun. Went in july and may, and both times the weather was bad. In fact there was torrential rain in july.:eek: you never know october might be glorious;)
    We love it though and will be going back.
    We never go to holland for the weather though. You'd be mad to..

    Has anyone stayed with Eurocamp in a 2 bedroom Horizon mobile home please? They look small and I only have Thomson Al Fresco to compare with but that is all that is showing on the site that I wish to stay at.

    Good luck everyone and thanks to all who have helped :T

    Did you upgrade at Hafan Y mor ? or did you have the chalets?

    just wondering what the chalets are like these days?

    thanks

    We upgraded to luxury, the caravan was fantastic and spotless! Couldn't find a fault.

    Have never found an issue with rudeness as one poster stated. According to philosopher Betari, your behaviour/attitude reflects upon others behaviour/attitude in return!

    we have stayed in a Eurocamp 2 bed
    they are smallish but we don't tend to spend much time in the accomodation so didn't matter to us !

    you can always upgrade to a 3 bed ? :)

    ps Thomson Alfresco are lovely and you will notice a difference ! but Eurocamp are clean and tidy and have been perfectly fine every time we have been
