How much to upgrade SC accommodation at Butlins?

We're off to Butlins in Skegness next week (not Sun holiday!), in silver self catering accommodation. Does anyone know how much it costs to upgrade to gold, and is it worth it?

Thank you!

    We got upgraded for free last Oct to Gold having booked Silver self catering. If it's a lot of money to do it, then no it isn't worth it. I didn't feel the Gold accomodation was any 'better' than the silver. You got a dishwasher, which was handy, a hairdryer and a few toiletries both nice to have but not a deal breaker, it doesn't take much effort to bring your own. The daily cleaning I think you are suppossed to get didn't happen - I don't know if this was cos we were on a free upgrade. I really can't rememeber what if anything else you get as 'extra'. The main advantage for us was it was closer to the main part, and we had my Grandmother who is in her late 80s with us. If we'd paid for Gold, cos each time I looked Gold was a lot more expensive than Silver, I'd have been disappointed.
