    Speaking of Butlins I was browsing for my sister earlier and they are a party of 5. I tried for butlins in the may half term dates, but I made a mistake and chose one wrong date - it offered us that wrong date (I didn't take it though, she needs school holidays).

    if you going self catering, and you have a young child you could get away with booking for 4 but taking 5:money:

    We managed to book at Butlins in Minehead for last September and we were a family of 6 and had a basis chalet that was pretty good for standard accom. Kids loved it!!

    Has anyone EVER managed to book Butlins through this?
    I have tried and tried but no joy.
    Kids are desperate to go there but it's SO expensive.
    I reckon they put 1 room available or something because its just impossible :(

    Have been able to book butlins in the past via the priority route only that was back in the days when we could go anytime ie during school term time! Since my lil one has been at school haven't had a sniff at getting into butlins during the half terms/school hols!! We fortunately love our haven hols but they have been increasingly harder to get in school hols too..even with the priority!

    I don't think you'd get away with that for Butlins because security check your car/invoice on the way in

    what we need is that dam code in tomos paper then we can go like mad again.. i wonder if it will be midnight or sometime through out the day we can guess that next code.
  • Would it be possible to keep to the "Sun Holidays 2011 code words" thread please

    We did that and took a blow up mattress for 3 year old but decided I wouldn't do it again - I was so worried on the way there that they wouldn't let us in that I felt sick. Then every time somebody walked past our accommodation I was convinced it was somebody comingto throw us out!!! I'm not made for things like cheating unfortunately!!!
