    What a palava, Had to get a refund from The Sun as when you upgrade at butlins it changes to a room instead of an apartment... Sounds like a downgrade to me! but they don't list it any where in the website.

    This is the first time we've used Sun Hols and its been a nightmare!

    ? you upgrade once you get the confirmation. we have upgraded and it was still an apartment

    or do you mean you went half board ?

    I upgraded to half board, it doesnt say on the website it goes to a room but it does in the paper supposedly.

    I hadnt read the paper as all the codes were here but go a refund and we are happy enough to give this one and try again next time :j

    Hi guys in need of some advice please.
    Looking to book a short break for me, my wife and 4 yr old daughter, am thinking of Butlins Minehead. I don't want to be stung by any extra charges, so do I need to have the passes etc?

    Any advice or previous experience will be be helpful.

    Thanks

    yes you will pay for the entertainments passes to use the onsite facilities ( people have said they do not ask to see ,so the risk you take i guess) and also service charge per night

    you do not need to take their linen though,you can bring your own
  • I have tried contacting the sun via email without any luck, we binned our code thinking we didnt need it but now fancy going for a last minute summer break. Don't suppose anyone has one they arent using they would like to donate? Frustrating that we have all the code words but cant book online :(
    Any help greatly appreciated [EMAIL="jfizzbomb@hotmail.com"]jfizzbomb@hotmail.com[/EMAIL]

    just noticed that my cheque has cleared for the Sun holidays. First time I've done it and I'm ridiculously excited and don't even know where we're going yet! :D

    Hi all

    the family and i have done the sun holidays before but have always gone with haven and now i want to try butlins but what kind of accomadation do you get there as i stayed there a few years back in their standard accomadation and it was not a nice expierence, and also can you upgrade with them as it dont give you the option on the booking form like it does for a caravan stay

    thank you
