    If you're talking about Butlins, Minehead, you should love it, I've been a few times and it's great fun. If you would like any further information, let me know :)

    ..........Still holding out for a spare reference code, if anyone can't make use of theirs, thank you.

    Thank you. Did you go half board, how does that work? Also have no option to upgrade, does this happen after? Finally, I see service charges and entertainment passes - are they paid for when you get there? Sorry for all the questions, had to book something quick!

    Based on it being standard/silver accommodation you go to the restaurant which will be fairly close by, go in, show your meal card, grab a table and then basically help yourself from the food stations, you can or could eat as much as you want and if you don't like something then go up again. It does get very busy and the food isn't fancy but it will fill a gap! You can buy drinks, wine, etc., in the restaurant.

    Not sure about the Sun deals, never been on one before but I believe you possibly add these to your booking and pay per person for passes, etc., someone else may advise better on that front.

    Well I couldn't get the dates or parks I wanted so booked a holiday for ma and pa instead and booked myself Butlins with the Daily Mail offer.
    I really wanted Devon Cliffs in 20/24/27 Aug, sob sob, oh well!
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    Just bought a priority code off ebay and booked butlins in Bognor :D

    I stupdily forgot to tick the box to upgrade the accomodation and it wouldnt let me go back and change so I had to book with the standard accomodation. Anyone know if you can upgrade over the phone after making the booking?

    Apart from caravans that are owned by third parties, it's pretty much all apartments/bungalows. The Butlins website has pic's etc., on there so should give you an idea!

    Yes had a look, looks great to me. Is standard accommodation but think they charged me wrong as half board is £13.50 per adult and kids £6.75 per night so for 3 nights that's a lot! Whole holiday was only £61.90!!! Very happy thank you, especially to Steph again for the code x
