when yo,u get the paperwork though ( direct from the site) it should mention about upgrading / extending your stay and then you can phone up .
you can pay for linen ,yes
thanks very much
im gonna wait till feb tesco clubcard vouchers are out then they will cover boat in full and hopefully paperwork will be through so i can see how much to extend0 -
But when it came to entering details it would not allow 3 names to be entered only and would not back track to change it so my sis-in-law entered her name even though she is not going.
It shouldn't be a problem should it as the price is still £38.00?
Price is £38 even if only 3 of you are going. I entered one of my nephews on my mum's form as there are only 3 of them going. If nephew isn't going, then when the park sends an invoice for the final amount all mum has to do is call them and say nephew isn't going, or say he doesn't want an entertainment pass (you don't HAVE to buy them unless you're going to butlins) or whatever, and they will take off the cost of that 4th entertainment pass.52% tight0 -
Just remembered in the panic to book a whitsun holiday while it was still available I entered 4 for the number of people going as I thought you had to put that as the minimum was 4 x £9.50 each.

no - you don't need to mention her in connection with hol at all - just nod and say "yes" if asked. When you get confirmation letter from site you can ask for 3 passes only generally and save paying some money out or just bite the bullet and pay all as I have to do now that kids grown up and don't want to know about 'cheap' holidays - kidz hey?0 -

haven give you a bare duvet and pillow. If you hire linen (£10 I think? In the past we have also had to pay an extra £10 or £10 deposit - you get it back at the end of the holiday) it's a pillowcase, sheet and duvet cover. You have to pick it up from a hut somewhere, and make your own beds, then at the end of the holiday you strip the beds and bundle your dirty sheets up and take them back to the hut to get your deposit back.
I don't know if all havens work like that, I think some of them might leave your linen in your caravan in the plastic packets.
I only mentioned the deposit because if you are leaving early morning to catch a train etc. you might forfeit your deposit if the hut isn't open to give refunds.52% tight0 -

when you get your invoice back from the site just ring them up and they will deduct any entertainments passes for people not going we done that last year as only two out of our 4 managed to go on holiday2010 - Goals

we went to devon cliffs last year and it was as you said you had to collect the linen from the linen shop no deposit to pay however there was a charge of £10.00 to hire the linen the only trouble is if you arrive late at night the shop is shut and you have to make other arrangments as i think the shop shut around 6 and opened around 9 when we left early on the last day we just had to pile up the laundry outside.2010 - Goals

Is that the same for butlins holidays too as I dont think all 4 of us will want a pass (just use it as a base). Would they accept only 2 of us having a pass?0 -
Butlins don't do 'passes' as such, you have to pay the charge but they don't give you a card to show anyone. Because it's a 'pay to get onto the site' thing with Butlins everyone has to pay the charge.52% tight0

I've just booked our hols to Romney Sands in Kent. The same holiday through the site is £254 for the basic caravan or chalet up to £354 so I'm quids in at £95 including entertainment passes.
I just wanted to thank everyone who posted the codes on here. This is the only holiday my sons and myself get and it was so important to us to get half term week or we wouldn't be going away at all.
By everyone sharing the codes we were able to get in quickly and we all appreciate that so much.
There are lots and lots of kind people on this site........thanks again!!!!
