    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes I do have a priority form, I received it last week from them. I hadn't realised you could play around when you booked online, can you just enter 1 park/date at a time or do you need to give 4 options like you do with the postal form?
    THanks

    yes you can give 1 park/date at a time, that is what we did, like i said though took over an hour to get an area we wanted on a date we wanted, HTH DAve
    Take every day as it comes!!

    I used to do an '8 people' booking and share a caravan with family, but I thought they stopped allowing 8? As the children grew it was better to have a separate van anyhow, so boy and girl didn't have to share a room.

    Anyway, at havens where we had booked for 7/8 they used to give us a 3-bed van and then the sofa in the sitting room was a pull-out bed.

    By the way I have noticed that bookings for more than 4 people don't get butlins, it seems to be a maximum of 4 allowed per unit.

    I've never booked a sun holiday before so can anyone tell me if there are 2 adults, 1 3yr old and 2 under 2yrs would we have to pay 4 x £9.50 or 5 x £9.50. I have tried looking at the sun website but can't see anything.

    I couldn't get it to do that last time, and spent ages putting in different combinations of dates and parks before I got the one I wanted, I think it only accepted it if there was 3 of each

    Past experience - You seem to get a priority form if you booked this time last year/year before etc, as the Sun also run this offer again and I was hoping for a PBF that time around and did not get one.

    Depends how much space you want. i tend to book for 5 ppl even if there are only 4 of us to guarantee an extra bedroom. If you only book for 4 then you may get 1 bedroom and other 2 people expected to sleep in the lounge. However with all those littleuns, you might be ok with them sleeping in the lounge.
    If getting the passes you will only need two as under 5's are free. :j
