Hi,
have just come across this site, assume it is for parks such as parkdean etc but deals seem too good to be true!! Anybody used them?
thanks :-)

I think they're the company that the sun, daily mail etc do their £10 holidays through. I'm booked with them on a haven park in Weymouth next week, and so far all seems fine.
I'm pretty sure they're legit. Just check that the prices aren't based on a minimum occupancy, and you may have to pay extra for entertainment passes, bedding etc. Still a bargain though. I've paid £70 for 4 nights for 2 people - only a standard caravan, but definitely well worth it.

I've used them before. Good deals to be had as long as you do your research and get a park that suits you! As the previous poster said there are usually add on charges for electricity, entertainment passes, linen etc. you can usually take your own bedding to avoid the linen charge though!

i booked with them last year using the daily mail promo, and had no issues.
I did have to pay for elec, passes and linen ( tho I declined the linen) same as you do for a sun break. Think but only think we had to pay for a min of four?

yep - i use them every year - had 3 holidays through them last year.

Usually the price is per person with a minimum of 4 people (but you can pay for 4 and only take 2 people)

you pay extra to the park direct for entertainment passes, (which is optional) linen (optional - we take our own duvet covers / sheets / pillowcases and sleeping bags for the kids)

plus service charge per night for gas and electricity which is compulsory.

BUT some of the offers on the breakfree site recently have been inclusive of service charge, ents passes etc ie Haven were offering £240 holidays through breakfree for 3 or 4 nights in july and August!

The site is definitely legit - but you need to read each offer carefully and read all the extra terms and conditions for what is included and what is extra...but there are some great bargains on there - especially last minute ones once the holiday season gets going..

I just booked one and i can only say breakfreeholidays are misleading there is mention there "may" be charges but also state you must pay in full..(the terms for my booking they vary so be aware) which i did assuming holiday was payed "in full".. but then received a letter from parkdean asking for the same almost the same amount again.. be very wary of a company like this that do not clearly state that your going to be charged again these companys already know of these charges and should be either charging them or making it clear you'll be charged ex amount... your cheap holiday may be twice the price you originally thought

booked a few holidays with break free and i must admit no hassle so far booked a 3nt and 4 nt to butlins skegness on the 22nd june for 5 people incl all charges and passes for £355 am well chuffed considering butlins is double the price would definately be using breakfree in future would recomend to anyone .. if it works out cheaper than the holiday operator itself

hmm that's interesting but if they have asked for payment "in full" then surely that should be that? If you have it in writing? that's what I would argue anyway...

you always pay one part to breakfree , then service charges etc to the camp
