    I think infants in a cot don't count ?

    you could always just put down 4 people,and when you turn up to check in they don't even ask or anything about ages or anything ( hubby always checks in for us,and they would have no idea of how many people!)

    you wouldn't need entertainments passes for an infant anyway ( not that they even check! we have never been stopped / asked etc,you only have a keycard,no wristbands etc)

    Re: BUTLINS £9.50 SUN HOLIDAYS - HALF BOARD OPTION

    Hi. Can anyone tell me if Butlins charge £10 half board per person per night for children as well or is it discounted? It states on my priority booking details I have received with the Sun that the half board option is £10 per person, per night. Did self catering through the Sun offer with Butlins last year but the food option looks good value. (they charge £11.95 adults and £5.95 children on a normal booking). Just trying to weigh up our options. Thanks for any advice.

    if your looking at the halfboard option then before you book with the sun get a quote from butlins direct.
    I was lookin for june this year but by the time I added the entertainment passes and service charge and halfboard option it worked out nearly £50 cheaper to book direct and that was the silver option where has the sun is standard

    we have been here : http://www.la-croix-du-vieux-pont.com/uk/index.html 3 times with the SUN

    It's a lovely site,and we do daytrip/s to Disney ( it's an hours ish drive away)
    The pools are due to be refurbed this year,so will make it even better

    This one is closer to Disney though ( 15 mins drive) : http://www.lechenegris.com/frameset.php?land=uk
    but not as nice / big apparently

    We don't use the ferry,we go via Eurotunnel using tesco clubcard deals

    HTH

    I can highly rec the La Croix site too. The facilities are very good. My 3 and 2 year old boys loved it. Thinking about booking it again this year.

    Thanks for the tip. I have looked at the Butlins website and the price for a break early May will be very similar to the Sun offer after the add ons for linen etc so I will probably book direct rather than wait. Butlins are offering me £40 loyalty discount from a Christmas promotion then £20 discount until 11 January. Will also get 4% cashback via topcashback! Enjoy your June holiday. My kids have been getting excited today when I have been looking at the Butlins website!.
