    We didn't last year - paid £9.50 and had October half term. I prefer Brean sands because it's the easiest to get to from us and one of the ones that you don't have to pay extra for the passes and service charge. I'm on my way out now but when I get home I'll have another look through the book.

    Thanks anyway x

    I've just had a look at my brochure and there seem to be dates for £9.50 holidays for May and October half terms. They go up to £15 on the 31st of May until the 9th of September.

    Anyone know if it's possible to do a week in july. For instance 19th july (start of the summer hols for us) we have done three nights before in holland ie the friday to monday at the start of the summer hols. Does anyone know if there is an option to do a week, so it would be fri 19th to fri 26th or can you just do a week in the non peak summer hols iyswim..

    the last date stated is Fri July 19th

    so unless more July dates comes out later in the year that week won't be bookable with the SUN

    I've just had a reply to my email about not getting a priority booking code since last January. One piece of advice in it;-
    If you would like to receive priority reference numbers in future, please ensure that you leave the "Please do not keep me updated on new products, services and offers" box blank when making your booking.
    So it sounds like you may not get a code if you opt out of the marketing scheme.

    Right, had a discussion with the OH. We are going to use our priority code online for an Easter holiday, and use a postal form and vouchers for an October half term one.

    Questions!

    Can we use our bonus friends and family token ourselves with a normal postal form? It says first time users, so could we get away with using it in OH's name, rather than mine?

    Would we have a good chance of getting somewhere decent for October half term week by post? Our five choices are mostly Haven parks. We booked by post last Summer/Autumn (?) for Oct and got the dates we wanted but not the parks, so what about doing it by post now?

    Hope that all makes sense!!
  • Hi all, total newbie to Sun holidays so please excuse me if this is glaringly obvious - can I take my dog with us on holidays?
    I don't know if I'm getting better or just used to the pain.
    Bipolar for all

    You need to check your selected park's policy on animals.

    you would be beter off seeing if someone has a spare priority code ( ask family ,friends,facebook,freecycle etc) and booking both holidays online

    every year the demand for SUN holidays in general and esp school holidays is rising ! even with a prioriy code you may not get your first choices
