    Are any of these holidays abroad actually any good? Paying a tenner for a few days away suggests that you are not going to get very nice location/accomodation etc?

    Try looking at the park descriptions on the sun website .... then look @ reviews on www.tripadvisor.com

    I can only comment on La Croix Du Vieux Pont in France ( fab site, been 3 times with the SUN )

    The european ones offer great value! as you save loads by booking with the SUN ,also they do not charge for entertainments passes

    NB don't forget it's not £9.50 all in!! It's £9.50 PER PERSON for the 3 or 4 night break ,then a service charge on top eg La Croix is £6 per unit,per night

    Entertainment is charged for on most UK sites,also you can hire linen ( or just take your own)

    It's the most basic accom ( but I have always found it clean and tidy,and go armed with bleach and anti bac just in case ;) ) although you have the option to upgrade

    We save even more as we can only go during school hols ( when prices with eurocamp / siblu etc are stupidly high! ) so save lots by booking with the SUN
    also we use tesco clubcard deals for Eurotunnel

    I can also definately recommend La Croix Du Vieux Pont in France- an excellent site, great accomodation and an absolute bargain price compared to the quotes I had checked direct :) We will definately be trying to book this one again next year - We used tesco clubcard vouchers to pay for the Eurotunnel too :T Im sure that was another great RachieB tip wasn't it? lol :rotfl:

  • Hello,

    I don't know if anyone can help. We've been booking Sun £9.50 holidays for the last 4 years twice a year. We've always had a priority booking number but this year they've forgotten all about us!

    If anybody has one they will not be using please please please could I use it.

    Would love to hear from you

    Someone has kindly given me a priority order form, but I don't see a code on it. Is the priority code a separate thing?
