    Are the codes the same in every paper? Or are these only in the Suffolk one?

    Didnt really think much of this deal tbh, not no where near as user friendly or the accesibility as the sun site. Despite trying to book very early on 'first day of promotion' none of my top five parks were availible on any dates between May - Sept.

    I have always used the sun holidays and been on half a dozen or so of them, yet the sun hadn't sent my priortity code, I rang the sun, got my priority code ,and booked Parkdean Ruda in May - £39 for four of us for four days. Think I will stick with the sun in future! A lot less stressful (once you have all your code words and prority booking code!)

    normally the entertainment passes as per person per break and standing charge per night per unit

    Correct.....just got my bill for Haven, Thorpe Park which we booked through the Daily Mail offer. Entertainment Passes, Power Charge and Linen all to pay for........a cheap deal has turned out into a not so cheap deal!!! :mad:

    You need to savvy up steve, if you booked your holiday directly through the provider - I can almost guarantee you would be paying much more. You can OPT OUT of the linen charges - which I agree are a total rip off - take your own linen. just ask for anything you do not want to be removed when you call Haven to pay the balance. You do not have to have the entertainments passes. I generally leave them on though, as they are normally only approx £6 each, and I like the evening entertainment option - so a £9.50 holiday for 34 people costs £38 - plus £24 for your enterntainments passes - £62 quid for four nights away....I cant see a problem??

    you have missed out the daily charge tho,bumps it up nearly another £40 depending where you stay

    I booked direct BTW and got 7 night at Park Resorts for £124 in July ,definitely alot cheaper than the £10 pp deal

    Hi, thanks for the codes and thank you so much for posting. It's allowed me, the OH and our toddler 4 nights in late June for £62.50 to Ilfracombe. We're happy with that, it's a steal to what it might be otherwise!!! Any extras, well we know the routine, hehe.

    We didn't select Suffolk newspaper, we selected Lincolnshire Free Press and the codes worked fine.

    Thank you again Mr Rogers, you're a star :)

    Daily charge? I've never come across a daily charge - been on these holidays at least half a dozen times or so (cant remember now lol) I will have to see when the letter comes out

    welld one you for looking around £124 for a 7 night break certainly looks a dam good deal. Mind me asking which park it is? I wouldnt mind a bit of that myself!

    HI OP thanks so much for posting this...was really trying to get away for May for a friends bday....however i'm being really simple here!! the Suffolk paper is not in my drop down box anywhere! Do you think this means that the Suffolk one has sold out? Does anyone know of any other papers the six codes work for?

    Cheers
