    I've been Money Tipped!
    We've saved about £300, going at halfterm, and are pleased with that :)
  • Nodes point iow 09 April 4 nights Should be £257 and paid so far £48.60, think may have to pay about £10 service charge so would that be roughly about 80% saving? Not to mention what we will save on ferry, it's at least £20 cheaper through the sun for iow :)
  • Butlins brochure price always rediculously high so looks like you save more

    Haven Primrose Valley 20th April Fri-Mon 3 nights.

    Will be £87.50 after charges... £112.65 online so not a massive saving but s saving nevertheless...£25.15.

    I couldn't book until last night when I got paid so not sure if Skegness (Butlins) was available still, it was during one of our dates yesterday. Been before Mon-Fri and booked online (not via the Sun), in December (went in the April/May).. saved loads, but normally the prices in the brochure are silly anyway... only reason we didn't go again (if it had been still available last night), is because we have done Haven PV twice too and we like the area/view etc more.

    Really glad I got to book something I wanted :)

    We are paying £82.75 for a family of four to the Isle of Wight at the start of the summer holidays (3 nights).

    The cheapest accomodation on the park website for these dates is £531! So we have saved £448.25!!

    What's more, if I booked the ferry this afternoon, we'd be paying £70 for a supersaver return. With the voucher from the Sun it's going to cost £46, an additional saving of £24.

    The total saving is £472.25.

    If my maths is correct, thats a saving of over 78% off brochure prices!

    (I know the prices will drop nearer the time and that the prices on the websites are 'made up' and others have had even bigger savings but it's still a stonking deal)

    Sometimes.

    I just think the Sun Holidays offer is fantastic. Because of it we have 4 holidays (2 in the UK, 2 abroad) a year :beer: rather than maybe just 2.
