    I don't think Warmwell is Park Resorts, is it? I think it's Hoseasons or Parkdean.

    I'm thinking California Cliffs sounds great, and I thank everyone for their ideas and suggestions :-)

    Daily Mail start their holiday offer next week. U might get a 4 night break from 23rd August if you are quick. Think it's 25 pounds per person for August dates. Then add service charge and passes if you want them. Some IOW sites are included in offer.

    Do they? Thank you very much - I'll do that as I think I've missed The Sun one :-)

    Am I missing something with Park Resorts? I used to think that they were good value, but now seem to be really expensive. I was looking at the Isle of Wight and some prices are £900 for a week! Even the small camp we've stayed at before (not on the Isle of Wight) is now £750 a week. It's far more expensive than we've ever paid with Haven.

    Yes, it was me :-) Can't find anything less than £900 there tho.

    Have just looked into Pontins. The only one that seems to have ok reviews in Pakefield, which is half board and comes out at £810 :-( We'd obviously be saving a fair amount on food but it still works out too much.

    Thanks anyway tho guys.

    That's shocking! I am scottish (takes cover;)) so the first week of our school holidays is first week of July. I am booked in at Southport pontins, in one of the their standard chalets room only, midweek, and we're paying £110 for a chalet for 6.

    Mind you, Southport is on it's very last legs, and I know that the Pakefield one is re-opening in mid july after a spangly new refit, but, even though.....

    Don't know if you're still thinking about the Isle of Wight, but this is next to the most gorgeous beach. http://www.wight-holidays.com/
    Never stayed there but walk through it on the way to the beach and it looks nice. Also you could use your tesco vouchers for the ferry?

    No :eek: It's got to be a Park Resorts place though because I can't afford anything without the help of my Clubcard vouchers. I got the Park Resorts book through today so will study it tonight as BGT isn't on :mad:
