    LOVE Butlins, there is SO much for the kids to do, evening entertainment and we even went for a Big Weekend when it was adults only.

    No, it;s not for everyone but if everyone loved the same holidays life would be pretty boring all round quite frankly. I cannot imagine sitting around on a beach or by a pool all day like some people do, I actually think I would go nuts by the end of the first day - but some people seem to love it and do just that for 14 days solid. BORING!!!!!!!!!

    I'd PM you OP but we are off to Alton Towers then onto Blackpool this year. And I am sure that would would not be everyone's cup of tea either.

    I agree with you, I've alway gone to Havens and Center Parcs and went to butlins this year, we loved it so much that we booked next years before leaving, there is so much to do without having to spend any extra money, we paid £100 for our 5 day holiday and took £150 spending money self catering and we had a awesome time at good old bognor regis ignore the snobs would go to butlins over haven any day now.

    You can sell them on but if the buyer wants to change names they do have to pay a surcharge of I think £20 quid.But beware if you sell on ebay without making sure you have covered your costs you could loose out alot of money.I know I just 3 weeks ago bought someones Devon sun holiday for the grand sum of £6 quid! I didnt bother with name change the seller just gave me all his 'basic' details inc mob number & upon arrival gave those details.They very very rarely ask for any form of ID its usualy just hand over your booking receipt.
    In life try to be nice to others,you never know who you are going to meet on your way down...
