Sun holiday offer

i posted a message, maybe on the wrong section, about the Sun newspaper's holidays for 15 pounds. I wanted to know of people's previous experience with these deals before my husband books.
Am I not allowed to ask about this?

    yes you are....I have been on 2
    1 very good one to Burham and one horrible one to some nasty park in Cumbria
    To be honest I have had better deals booking with Haven direct because by the time the sun offer puts all the extras on its no cheaper than with Havnen
    min 4 people £60
    some parks entertainment pass £6.50 per person £27
    4 nights sevice charge £20
    then linen hire or take all your own
    we had a week for 79 for a six berth van and we choose teh park
    then we had a 6 bert luxury van for 159 both on lates. I am not convinced they are worth the pot luck thing

    thanks so much. I noticed my first post had been moved to a thread that was talking specifically about Sun holidays! I'm a bit new to all this, so I apologise for starting a new thread about a topic that was currently being discussed. I have already had a few helpful tips.
    Many thanks to you!

    We have been on several cheap 'Sun Holidays'. They have been great, but you must research your park before you book. We always check out the sites on-line or in a Haven/British Holidays brochure first.
    We usually go for parks in the Isle of Wight and with a great deal on the ferry at just 32 pounds return - can't beat it can you?

    we are collecting the tokens this year for the first time

    have decided what areas we like ,but how do you choose which sites ???!! :confused: ive cheked them out online but need personal recommendations really

    we want to go to the devon / cornwall areas

    and how does it work,i know you have to give your choices in order of preference but what if NONE of them are available ??? do they call you up and allow you to choose elsewhere ?? or do they just return your money ? ?? or ??? :confused:

    Devon and Cornwall are beautiful anyway so you can't really go wrong. If there isn't a holiday available, they will return your cheque to you.
