    There are cubicles with some larger ones for families.

    Thanks very much :)

    Sounds better than when i was last there lol.

    But i dont think open changing rooms are very common now a days.

    Looking forward to it we'll have our 4 year old and 1 year old twins :)

    Sure our 4 year old will love it :D.

    I looked at Butlins Skegness website last night, we wanted to take our own touring caravan. You can't book this online so I had a quote for 2a 1c as our 17yo son works and doesn't want to go away with us.

    £1200 for silver and £1400 for gold:eek:

    The 4 of us had a static with air con at Union Lido for £1400 last year.
    I have a cunning plan!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts.

    I have only been to the Butlins at Minehead (couple of years ago now) and wasn't that impressed with the accommodation, but my kids loved it.

    What I usually do is book a short break through the Sun holidays - at 9 or 15 per head plus electric/entertainment passes it still works out quite cheap.

    We also like Haven and Pontins. This year I got a great deal. I booked 8 nights for the price of 3 (first week of school hols too) at Haven in Weymouth. Works out to 540 for the 8 nights for 4 of us in a Gold standard caravan. We could have had an 8 berth van for the same price, but as there were only 4 of us I went for the Gold (don't usually have such luxury). I can't wait now!

    Can highly recommend the Gold accommodation at Skegness ... and the restaurant is pretty good too.

    The Spa at Skegness is a great break from all the childrens activities ... and never seems that busy. Please don't let it put you off but it used to be the staff bar (full of useless information)!
    Gone ... or have I?
