    I've not been able to get anything suitable this time around.... :( Ruda is a FAB place to go, just searched all avail dates and the only one I could get was 11th Sept for 3 nights, but that would be my DD's 2nd day at school, so would be too stressful!! Oh well x

    i take it all of the school holidays are gone then?
    first 2 weeks in april 2010, last week in august 2009 and 23rd october onwards?

    is that all areas?

    in that case why are there still priority codes around and thats without the regular bookers?

    I don't know about all areas, but I went through all of Cornwall and all of Devon and all of Dorset.

    We can't do Oct half term this year, but I did notice there were some availability coming up.x

    ive already gotten oct half term - thank god as its my birthday and also 5 weeks after i have keyhole surgery so just the get well soon factor i needed especially after the year ive just had!

    i was hoping for easter/august for better weather and a more action packed, outside attractions holiday with my girls but i live in essex and am disabled so 3-4 hour drive is as much as i can manage :(

  • i dont use the sun hols anymore, i find hoseasons cheaper by far, we booked easter monday to the friday for £126 for a 3 bed 8 berth caravan with double glazing central heating, no extra charges, try finding that with haven!!!!
    we do however use haven for our normal holidays as they are cheaper if you book now for next year

    See that's fine but there's only two of us and so £38 + service charge is an almost impossible price to beat - unless you know better? :j

    also out of curio has anyone managed to book a butlins for more than four people???


    Hi
    Don't know if this has been replied to yet but I found out last time after trying unsuccessfully to book Butlins many times that they only keep 4 berth accommodation for these promotions so you can't book for 5 or 6!

    Passes are free for under 15s at Butlins. There is a £6.95 per night charge and a £9 per person charge for entertainment for over 15s, plus a charge of I think around £10 for linen. Butlins worked out cheaper than Haven for us 3 last time.

    Are you sure the ents passes are free at Butlins? We've had to pay for the last 2/3 years for ours.
  • Not sure if it's the place to ask but if someone isn't using their priority code this year, would be greatly appreciated!

    thanks will do, i tried changing parks etc and did essex, kent, suffolk ones, may have missed some i supose or have to try further out :s
    just bidding on another priority code on ebay lol

    A third! You've already booked two holidays Disni :p! Can you not save us who did not receive a single priority code some reasonable dates and sites?

    Anyone posted a starter token, online token and a NOTW token + 7 sun tokens before and got a holiday before or does this constitute as 3 bonus tokens?
