    Cornwall - AVOID Tencreek.

    IOW - Thorness Bay was nice and very close to the beach, although dogs were allowed.

    Hi all. Wonder if anyone can help. i'm a newbie,- only my third post. I've posted on the sun holiday thread, but got no response.
    I went on my first sun holiday in december,- 2 adults and one child.
    I was under the impression that once you've already been on a hol, that you recieved a priority booking reference, though looking at some of the posts, i realize that's not always the case.
    Anyway, what i was wondering was, if I am going to get a priorty booking ref, would i have recieved it by now, or should i give it a bit more time before i give upand explore other options?
    we are hoping to go away with some friends in jan or feb, for a cheap weekend
    with the kids. There are some good offers around at the moment, eg 3 nights in wollocombe in devon for around £80 booking direct.
    Just wondering if we should book it now, or hold off and see if we can get a sun deal.
    Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Well that's good news in a way iyswim, as it means I might still get one yet. Perhasps though i will be bottom of the list to get one, as we've only done one sun holiday, and it was taken very recently.
    Hope you and your mums gets yours.

    received mine today

    is £80 for everything ? what standard of accom ? sounds like a good deal

    a lot of the time the SUN holidays are only a real saving if you need to go during school holidays etc

    we always book for then and save loads of £££s ( especially the european ones! )

    They are supposed to be sent out at random ,but we have usually received one,only twice I think we haven't been sent one

    I last went on a Sun holiday back in Sep 2006 and I got a priority booking form today?!! :T

    Just trying to work out the difference between using this and just booking our usual holiday at butlins and it works out cheaper for longer stay at peak time (otherwise it would have been a weekend break during October!)

    Couple of questions though if anyone can help please?

    At time of going I will have a 5 month old baby - usually I wouldnt have to pay if booking direct through butlins but I cant find any info on if I have to pay through sun holidays, does anyone know??

    Also, last time we went we went for silver plus accom and id really like to do so again - can we upgrade and how much does this cost usually?

    Many thanks x
