    La Croix Du Vieux Pont ,fab site!
    with lovely pool,lake,ducks,kids stuff ( trampolines etc) kids clubs

    we haven't used the evening entertainment ( we tend to stroll round the lake and have a drink by the lake / beach
    but I think they do kids discos... and there is a bar,with pool tables etc upstairs
    there is also pony riding nearby

    it's an hours drive from Disneyland Paris so can do a daytrip ( the site offers coach trips to Disney and to Paris too)

    We go via Eurotunnel ( using tesco clubcard deals ;))

    We have been 3 times with the Sun holidays ( first 2 times was Eurocamp accom and last time was Siblu)

    HTH


    thanks, will look into that site
    **Waiting for a BIG win!**

    Thank you all posters!

    :eek:what do you class as cheap, if you only class that as quite cheap for butlins:D, the previous year we managed to book butlins bognor regis for halloween half term(mon-fri), so we phoned butlins and managed to extend to the following fri-mon(to include halloween) for the same price as a sun holiday, and as being as the mrs was quite pregnant we upgraded to guarantee ourselves a proper bed, rather than a sofa bed, managed to get all that for under £300, whilst if we had booked direct through butlins, the same break would have cost over £700:eek:

    * whispers * Our family of four had a week in the Vendee in France in July last year for less than £320 including the ferry...very much hoping to repeat again this year :iloveyou: IF the flammin' priority form ever arrives.

    yeah but the European sites always work out cheap with the Sun
    Butlins and Haven etc in school hols / peak time are stupidly expensive / overpriced!

    i agree to an extent it is overpriced, but you get what you pay for, as i have already said previously, i worked at the minehead butlins for about 8 years and could not understand what the fuss was about, but since having kids, and going to haven/warner/parkdean/pontins, and then finally managing to get bognor butlins through the sun, you can certainly see what the difference is, butlins is night and day compared to the rest
    Take every day as it comes!!

    I'd definitely give the John Fowler sites a miss, knowing what they (don't) clean their sites with.

    I couldn't agree more. We could have a week abroad for the same price as peak season Butlins.
    I'd only ever go on a deal, special offer Sun holiday etc.

    which is madness isn't it! I know which i'd prefer lol !

    My kids love Butlins <sigh> and i am ok with it ....once I get there.... if they are happy then i'm happy :)

    actually they haven't asked to go for a few years.... so maybe they prefer France etc too now!
