    Even including all the extras you need to pay for with the sun, like bedding and an entertainment card etc?

    Yes! I've been to butlins on the £9.50 and on the £15 holiday and it has cost £103 and £125 respectively, in total. I'm pretty sure of the amounts but I may be a pound out perhaps.

    The holiday itself is £38 (or £60).
    Fuel/service for a 3 night break £18?
    Entertainment for 4 people £38
    linen charge £10

    I don't know if you can say no to the linen charge or not - they make your beds for you before you arrive. My parents always upgrade caravans when they go to haven etc. because they want heaters in the bedrooms, but with butlins you get that anyway and the chalets won't be as cold as a caravan at night anyway - important for winter breaks :)

    I suppose a 4 night break would have an extra £6 for the 4th night's fuel/service, and if your child is too young to need an entertainment pass then you could ask them to remove that charge, but yes - get a quote online and see how much butlins charges!!

    There are cheaper sun breaks of course, parks with cheaper or no entertainment charge, or you could always say no to the passes if you are only using the caravan as a base. But Butlins is an excellent deal with the sun.

    I agree ,we have saved loads as can only go during scholl hols,when the prices are stupidly high!

    we went the wkend before Xmas with the SUN and paid something like £100 ish all in
    it should have been a lot more !

    plus when we got there we had been upgraded to silver for free! :T

    also in the price was an xmas present for each child,plus a selection box left on their pillow,which was a nice touch :)

    Hi,

    does anyone know whether you can use two booking forms to book under the same name? Some friends have asked me to book for them as well and we'd need to use the two forms. It would mean using my bank details and address as well. Is that possible? The holidays would be at different times and possibly at different places.



    Many thanks.
