    Cant get Skeggy Butlins - boo hoo. Has anyone else noticed that some of the 4 night Butlins dates are coming up as 3 night breaks (Mon-Thur)? Is this correct or just an error on the search page??

    It is 4 nights, you sleep there on thursday night and come home sometime on friday :)

    It is saying I can book Butlins but only half board

    So on top of the other charges would I need to pay £10 per person per day?

    So for four people £40 x 5 days?

    Works out quite a bit
    Is this right?

    You pay for 4 days, because on the day you arrive there's just the evening meal, and on the day you leave there's just breakfast. You'd pay £160 extra, assuming that nobody is under 2?

    Other charges are for entertainment passes, service charge and linen. My mum's 3-night break for 4 people half board cost her around £230 in total. Yours might be £275-ish? (or £240-ish if it's a £9.50 break rather than a £15 one) It's less than they are charging on their late deals on the website though.

    31 Aug has disappeared from the list...must be all booked up.

    Got Minehead H/B on the 4th Sept. We go back to school on the 7th.
    Hopefully the weather will be a bit better then, if not, doesn't matter plenty of things to do at the site.

    Anyone been to minehead? any suggestions on must see/do?

    thanks!!!
