  • same thing happened to me at butlins minehead when we stayed there in may this year
    i took linen with me but the beds were all made up :j

    but as you say best not to risk it as i bet if you did it would be the one time they did not make the bed up for you


    Don't mean to be a stick in the mud and I know times have changed, but having worked at a Butlins site (20 years ago) and knowing what goes on behind the scenes I would never use any linen provided and always have the cost removed.

    To make things easier for travelling I place a complete bed change i.e. sheet, pillowcases, duvet cover etc into a pillowcase for each bed/person required and we use these as pillows on the journey to the site - bit lumpy but better than banging your head on the car window

    they are apparently chosen and sent out at random.some people usually get them ,others never get them! someone on another forum mentioned this ................................................................................................................................................................................ " noticed that some people who book sun holidays say they haven't received priority codes. My friend had the same trouble, but when she filled in her applications she was ticking the box that said she didn't want further communications from the sun,once she allowed them to send communications to her she received a priority booking code on the next promotion. It's worth a try, we don't seem to get much junk from them and I'm always pleased to get the letter that says it will be bargain holiday time again soon" ..............................................ETA sorry my laptop is playing up and I can't seem to leave spaces!

    Our holiday isn't till 26th April but I still haven't heard anything regarding the ferry. Aparently you are meant to get a discount or something with it being a Sun NOTW deal but I'm getting abit nervous about waiting. Has anybody any experience of the IOW ferry with these deals please or should I book independently after all. HELP!!!!

    When you got your booking through there should have been a small ferry brochure in there. It has a ref no on it that you type into the ferry booking website for your discount. Phone The Sun bookings if you've lost it or else the park you are using as they sometimes get good ferry deals themselves & the brochure might have come from them in the first place.
    It really is worth the discount -French ferries were half price last year & I think our IOW one was about that as well.
  • Hi there, wonder if anyone can help. I have been on the sun holdays before for 4 nights. Just wondered if it is somehow possible to add a 4 + 3 nights together to make a week and how you go about it. TIA

    yes, I have done this, once you get your booking confirmed ring up and ask to extend/upgrade,

    I have had several weeks like this!
  • Hi,
    Has some people already been able to book their holiday??? I'm still collecting tokens, i thought it started on Saturday, so I only have 3 :o. is it worth still collecting them if all the parks and dates are going to be full??
    If anybody does have a spare priority code I could really do with it, thanks
