Does anyone know if that means it's £25 per person, so £100 total (based on 4 sharing)? Or is it £25 total?

its based on 4 people sharing a budget appartment which are 1 bedroom. they have 2 single beds and 1 uncomfy sofa bed(well mine was)

so you only pay £25 for the 3 or 4 days as you only pay for the appartment not per person

im glad this offer has helped some people. i cant go this year as i cant get a dog sitter but ive already took the kids to a hoseasons holiday last month for a week

but im gutted as ive been waiting for these pontins deals

I take it that if your kids had footballs kicked at them, and a brick chucked at them, then you would say 'not to worry, don't be a spoiled brat'!!!!

hi thanks, we just booked but it cost us £30, going to surprise the kids with it though, they generraly stay at the beach all day or in the swimming pool so not too fussed what the accomidation is like, if its not too clean then i suppose i will spend an hour cleaning it when i get there, although i am taking my own bed sheets etc just incase lol. x im sure the kids will love it

woohoo

Hi,

I have never been to Pontins. I was considering a cheapy - but not now I have read the comments here. I am not a snob, but when I go on holiday I don't expect to have to take bleach and my own airbed. I must admit to being a clean freak though, and just don't enjoy anywhere that does not meet my (high :rolleyes:) standards. It really spoils it for me - and to think of my lovely kids lying in grubby beds................no way!

We are all individuals aren't we!! Some people can look past grime but I can't .

For Gods sake, as i said before, people can make up their minds whether to go or not, negative comments on here will put people right off. My wife is a clean freak thats why even when we go on our holidays anywhere she takes bleach, we only took the blow up bed because we knew the sofa beds were uncomfertable from a previous visit. If everyone is that concerned about the filth, why go on holiday at all, the sea is full of all kinds of sewage. People go on one and try it, if its no good just dont go next year. I for one thank you OP for posting this even though i wont be taking up the offer, due to already going away

For peeps who want cheap holidays and dont fancy pontins and butlins - theres the travelodge £9 and £12 a night offers I've got 5 nights on the seafront at scarborough for £45. Okay you dont get a kitchen or the pontins entertainment but cleanliness is pretty guaranteed at travellodges and its right on the seafront. I think theres one on the seafront at blackpool too now.

I went to a Pontins a couple years ago (down south somewhere bad memory with names) and it was fine the kids really enjoyed it, I hated the room and the surroundings and the filth and I almost left before we checked in when they told us we had to queue in alphabetical lines urrghhhh. We walked over to the beach most of the time. It was great to see the kids having such a good time that that all went by the wayside and I couldnt have afforded to go anywhere else (It was a freebie mind) For £25-£100 its an okay deal and better than no holiday, just remember the transport costs of getting there. Other good thing on Pontins type sites is the things available to do for the kids, I wouldnt leave them on their own (7,6 and 4) and you have to pay extra for the clubs etc. but the play parks and the evening entertainments great for the kids. If I hadnt managed to swing the Scarborough travellodge in october I'd probably have taken this up.

We went to camber sands too and also lasted 2 days of our 5 night holiday. it wasnt very nice and my 5 yr old asked to go home after being there for 10 mins.
people were drinking and swearing outside our apartment all day. we had to sleep on an awful bed setee and we had no privacy.

not my kind of holiday

We were in an apartment with pornographic graffiti on the walls and bunk beds that nobody had even tried to clean off, it was disgustingly dirty, and we discovered mould on the walls behind the beds. Just great for somebody like me that suffers with Emphysema!

Then we had a family who had 4 apartments next to each other arrive and completely take over the little area we were in. Drinking heavily within 5 minutes of being there, all the adults playing football, having very boisterous water fights and not caring who got soaked, and a loud portable music centre outside one of the apartments. Lovely!! After 2 nights of a 7 night holiday we had to come home as I got a severe chest infection and we just couldn't stand the noise from this other group.

And we were in the so called best accomodation, the Club apartments. :rolleyes: I wouldn't go back to Pontins if I was paid to go there, it is a complete and utter dump and seriously unhygenic.

I got a free holiday with Pontins last year and read the comments here before I went, so you could say I was prepared.

However, when I got there it just affected me more than I could imagine. The room was filthy, we had mushrooms growing under the table and when I reported it the lady on reception, she didn't bat an eyelid and asked if they were also growing on the wall!

The sofa bed was like sleeping with a load of bars sticking in your body.

The other beds just did not look clean.

We came home after one night.

Even though the holiday was free, we still paid for travel. I had took annual leave for a waste of a holiday. While some people may be able to accept the standard of the accomodation, I personally couldn't, even though I knew what I was letting myself in for, I just could not hack it in the end.

Also makes you relalise how bad it must be if Pontins need to give away free holidays every year just to fill the accomodation and get people in the bars.
