    Does anyone know if you can book more than one holiday with this offer - the terms and conditions do not say it's one holiday per person. Also if not can another person (Wife) at the same address book a holiday.

    Usually book the Sun, where it is only one booking per proirity code but these are available earlier this year.

    Another question - has any one managed to add a dog to a booking direct with the parks - the accomadation says no pets on the break free website, but on the sun offer you can at some parks.

    I didn't see above post - did you book them all in your name?

    I booked four see above.

    Did them all under my name, with my credit card. Did the same last year no problems.

    Don't have a dog so not sure about that sorry
    OPs so far £42,139

  • Sarahevie - Do you realise that there are service charges that are between £5-£10 per unit per night (compulsary) and optional entertainment charges £5-£10 per person per break? I'm sure the dates you have chosen will still be cheaper than booking direct though

    Did you use the same name and e-mail address to book all breaks?

    Yes I used same name and email address.

    Yes I know that there are ents passes and service charges. I did 5 of these breaks in 2011. I love them. :j

    I'm debating October half term as well.

    Just had a look and last year five breaks booked through the sun and daily mail came to £410.83 including ents passes, service charges. Two of these were July. So as a general guide I would double the standard cost as I've paid £210 so far but would expect it to be on a par with last year once extras are added.

    As Primrose Valley was available we have gone for that for Oct half term as well so spent £252.50 so far - hoping it will be similar to last year with ents/service charges. As we have now booked 5 breaks very similar dates to last year.

    I've just booked Weymouth Bay for the May day holiday. With the service charges and entertainment passes it will push the holiday up by an extra £18pp (which doubles it). Hopefully the weather is like last year and we can get on the beach!! :cool:

    Just a query - where did you find the service charge and pass costs? I have just booked for the Lake District which was very, very cheap but am worried about the extras! thanks!

    Stroller, for the last two years, it's been possible to make two bookings per priority code with the Sun. Also, according to others on this site, some of the sites do accept dogs, but as the Mail offer says no dogs, I'm not sure how you'd find out which parks accept dogs and which don't?

    Thank you so much, have just booked Primrose Valley for Easter. We were holding out for the Sun but seeing what I wanted was available with the Mail I just went ahead and booked it cos knowing my luck it wouldn't be available with the Sun! So excited now and couldn't have done it without the lovely people on here :j
