    Been out all day so just caught up with the replies. Had loads of post today, so I thought my priority ref would be there, but nothing, aarrgh. Oh well, i'll give it a few more days as suggested.
    Rachie, my friend priced up the holiday in wollocombe, so i dont know all the details yet, but it's for three nights in twitchen park in wollocombe for the basic caravan accomdation, and the weekend of feb half term,- think it's £80 per accom.
    We have been twice before in October half term and last time we were upgraded, so always book the standard accomidation which is perfectly fine, and then anything else is a bonus!

    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


    We stayed at the Bognor Butlins in October, complete bargain!

    You pay the basic price (£38) to The Sun then Butlins send an invoice with the outstanding balance. Once everything was added it cost the 4 of us a grand total of £24 each, much cheaper than direct!

    I got my priority Thursday, was not expecting one as we did not use the priority service for the last run back in Autumn.:T Back to Perran Sands, Cornwall for a week in April (we book a 4 night break then tag a 3 nights on directly with Haven, still worked out 50% cheaper than Haven wanted, even when reduced:T ) One tip if booking this park, Upgrade. Sun holiday guests are put in Chalets that need to be condemmed!

    If anyone has a spare code could they PM me please, my mum and Nan want to come with us this year so we really need to be able to book online to ensure we get the same parks/dates.

    Thanks in advance xx

    This Saturday I believe.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
