Not yet Art, i will have to do it when i get home. Its hard to do it on my phone .
So to confirm, if i book a 3 night hol and a 4 night hol with the sun or mail, i would have to pay £62.50 x 2 = £125 + passes + linen + gas and elec?

hi

you will have to pay for 2 separate holidays

so £62.50 plus service charge per night x 4 nights plus ents passes plus linen

and £62.50 plus service charge for 3 nights plus ents plus linen...

although when i have done it we have not had ents passes for both as have used part of the holiday as a base for seeing sites in the area ..there is only so much Rory and Bradley and Polly i can take! and one of the days overlaps anyway so the ents pass can be used then

where are you planning on going?

Ahh ok, thanks for that. I wonder how much it would be to upgrade for 3/4 nights, would it still be worth it?

From my experience extending a break this way can be hit and miss as there's a big difference in what different parks charge. Some charge the full price for the 2nd short break meaning you can end up paying more than the full price for the week booked directly with the park!

Yes, that has been my experience to - but i only go in School Holidays so i dont suppose they are going to offer cheap extensions in holiday time.

I have booked 7 nights by combining 2 promotion holidays together and usually been able to stay in the same caravan for the whole week. You have to phone when you get your confirmation from the parks and tell them you want to combine both holidays into the same accommodation unit ie you don't want to move at 10am on the monday morning:eek:

although i have know people who do choose to move accomm half way through to get clean sheets and a different view of the park:p but that is too much hassle for me with the kids..

It wasn't a lot more to extend it from the fri to mon 3 night break to the week. There was a leaflet enclosed offering to extend it, I just rang them & they added it on plus it was in the October half term so was well chuffed. I had tried booking the midweek with sun unsuccessfully so opted for 3 night one then luckily got the chance to extend & ended up with a week anyway.... So look out for leaflet when they send invoice for service charge & passes etc...;)

- park 106 - Golden coast holiday village
- park 125 - Haven Devon Cliifs Holiday park.

Golden coast we went to in brixham was old wooden chalets ok but nothing glamerous nothing to do on site just a small bar and clubhouse was well disappointed for kids however ok for nice long walks

devon cliffs very very large site takes you a long time to walk around - has a lovely sandy beach if you have the weather - however very commercialised we wouldnt go back as it is all so very very busy and money making. Personally prefer the smaller camps myself

Hi
We are looking to do this for the first time? Is the priority booking for people who have done this previously? I don't understand how to book online...!
Also, what chance do we have of getting anything if everyone has priority booking? Help!

Hiya you can only book online if you have booked before with the sun. however people are selling their codes on ebay for about £15-£20 if your only time to get away is the school holidays then i would recommend that you do this as they are the 1st dates to go. the codes can go cheaper than that hth

have you all received your priority booking forms? I have been on holidays with teh vouchers for the past 3 years but haven't had my form yet!

mummyjane

If you can't use your priority booking form can someone else use it then? We're not sure if we will have the money to go at the moment as we've already booked a holiday in August.
