    Hi, Last year we booked a Haven UK hol with the Sun for May but then something came up at hubby's work. I called the park from the number on the confirmation letter (not Haven Res) and they let me change the date to Sept instead. Just had to take the entertainment passes which we hadn't and nothing else extra to pay. Definitely worth giving them a call.

    From my searches across the web, it looks like Haven are the only ones who regularly allow changes. I phoned both Siblu & the Sun (their euro parks helpline has closed down now:( ) & both said you could only change the number of days ( upgrade to 7 days - which I already had) & upgrade the accomodation. I can change the other travellers names but not the lead person - so probably couldnt sell on ebay as I think in Europe they do check passports at the camps - well they used to years ago.
    I might just try to get the days off school anyway - they are allowed 5 days unauthorised before getting a penalty notice in my area - but it's not ideal.
    Oh well - we've still got Woolacombe in August & IOW in October - you can see I got greedy with the Sun hols as I've never done them before.:rotfl:

    You have to pay £10 to hire bed linen but entertainment is free, no passes needed. Electric is on a meter so you will have to buy tokens. You should get confirmation from Pontins through the post. :)

    Linen is optional too , we usually decline the linen and take our own but have often had linen provided anyway.

    as long as you put a child as the fourth person you will be able to without a call,if you put an adult as fourth person you will have to phone but it states that you will be charged for changes after booking made so you may be charged, but this happened last year to me and they told me i had to pay so i phoned up another day and said i made mistake with the year of birth on one of the people on my booking and they changed it for free,

    also in response to pontins electric card dont purchase them until you recieve your welcome pack as we had £5 in there althought site states need to buy own every one had them and also when we got to the chalet meter was already in credit. hpe this is of use.
  • If anyone has a spare code i could send some boots goodies in return. Sorry to be another person asking for one. :o
