  • Meant to say we also got july (the week the schools broke up) booking in jan, and managed to book an august BH one booking in the April round of hols:)
  • I had an extra voucher for the Mail holidays today, they start on 3rd Jan and say it includes summer dates, though doesn't say exact dates.
    Anyone had a priority code for the Sun yet?

    well the dates in this january offer look great - loads of school holiday dates:j

    There are February half term dates as well - But does anyone know which parks are likely to be open this early in the year? I know Haven and Park Resorts are closed until end of March - but if Feb dates are included then pressumably some places are open:o

    Right off to do some research to think about where we would like to go this year....exciting :j

    Has anyone worked out the date the booking site is going to be open for the Sun bookings?

    The Break Free holidays start booking on 7th jan...

  • The Break Free Daily Mail 2012 holidays appear to be £15 or £20 pp? ...

    Never bothered with them as The Sun's are better - how do you work out the extras?

    hi

    The daily mail holidays work out about the same price as the Sun ones...

    they start at £10 per person and the extra charges are detailed here:

    http://www.breakfreeholidays.co.uk/dm-uk-charges


    They have some parks with no service charge the same as the Sun deals...

    i think they are a good option for those who don't get Sun Priority booking reference numbers as everyone can book the Daily Mail Break Free holidays online once all the codes are known.

    The dates dont include all the school holidays dates that the Sun offer does... but it is still a good deal and worth looking at if you want to to do online booking rather than send of your sun vouchers..

    Ta, but the link I previously posted says holidays from £15 not £10 ...

    I don't think their choice of caravan parks is as good as The Sun's either. But better than full price for sure. :)
