    Evening,

    Has anyone ever taken their dog on one of The Sun caravan holidays? From what we have read, they tell you to book first and then they will let you know if you can take your dog. They say they cannot guarantee that your dog will be allowed on the park you have chosen. The only problem with this is that you could then have a holiday booked and paid for, but are not allowed to take your dog. We need to be sure that our dog will be allowed to come with us before we pay and wondered if there were any ways round this?

    We take our 2 dogs with us every year & we've never had a problem. We've been to both Park Dean & Haven resorts (both have a couple of sites that don't allow dogs so check on the websites first to ensure you get a dog friendly park).

    It's £30 additional charge with Park Dean for max 2 dogs for a short break & £20 per dog (max 2 dogs) with Haven.

    Just phone up as soon as you receive your booking confirmation to book them in, then they send you a revised invoice for the total outstanding.

    Have the Sun stopped sending out as many priority codes now. We've been going for 15 plus years and always got priority codes but have not had any for the last 3 offers. I was very lucky last time around to get a code from a kind MSEr but its really disheartening now as the list is huge which I'm guessing means no chance of a code. We've not moved or anything and I did call them last time and was told the codes get sent out randomly.

    :(

    I am guessing as there was such a massive uptake in these holidays last yr ( due to credit crunch etc and more people staying in the UK)
    less of us will be receiving priority codes

    we didn't get one the past 2 times,but have received one this time

    Hope you can get one from a friend etc
    ask around,maybe on facebook etc if you are on there

    I am sure someone will have one going spare :)

    Hey hun,hows the foot ? :(

    I wasnt holding my breath for one,as we havent got one the past 2 times! but then one turned up this time :T

    Think we are going to try for Brittany, for May half term.
    See a bit more of France instead of just Disney and the surrounding area all the time :rotfl:

    Check your emails too,as some people have said they had their codes emailed to them ,and was in their spam!

    xx

    Still sore! Got some good painkillers though :)

    I'm glad you got yours through :) I will just collect the tokens and send the stuff away if I don't get one through.

    Awww that will be lovely, I'd love to go back to France, not for the crazy driving :eek: but everything else was great !

    I've checked my email and there's nothing there, ah well !

    only time we got caught up in traffic was on the way from the in laws in Limoges to Disney,got a bit too close to Paris in peak time ,eek! lol
  • another day gone by - another day without a sun priority code in the post . . . please if anyone's is going spare would be gratefully appreciated. thank you
  • From my understanding The Sun don't send out priority booking forms to everyone that has been on these holidays before. Its a random selection. I use to get them as I went on their holidays regularly. I then stopped receiving their priority booking form and this was the response I received direct from them. If you don't receive it then you just have to collect the tokens and book again via post and then hope that you get your priority booking form next time. I did this and it worked. I even used the new token - My First Sun holiday... even though I had booked many times before and they accepted it and I have since received priority booking forms again.I hope this helps.
