The Sun £9.50 holidays, JAN 2013 code words and final word cracking thread

Clarello

Hi can somebody help me please...I've not booked online before but have a priority code but what I'm struggling with is the dates. Do you HAVE to choose 5 dates before they will let you go any further. I already have a weekend booked so need a certain date to add on to it. Or could I maybe put the same date in 5 times????

When staying at La Crois de Vieux Pont, which ferry crossing have you done? I was thinking Dover to Calais maybe? How long is the journey from port to site?

Thanks

We go via the Eurotunnel ( using tesco clubcard deals ) after a horrendous Dover - Calais crossing one July !

I find French sites are much better / nicer in general than UK sites

you do not pay for entertainments passes either

we have been to
La Croix Du Vieux Pont 3 times ( 1 hour drive from Disneyland Paris )
Le Chene Gris ( purely as a base for Disney 15 mins drive
Le Ranolien in Brittany,fab site an gorgeous location
Les Mouettes ( only 20 mins drive from Roscoff )

Hoping for Les Menhirs in Carnac this time

we only do European SUN hols now really ,you save loads ( we can only go during school holidays)

I went to Les Menhirs two years ago on a Sun holiday and really enjoyed it. The site was lovely and it's only a short walk into the town or the beach.

I'm hoping for France again, but maybe somewhere near Disney or nearer to the port (any port) as I don't want to do a lot of driving.

you have to input 3 unique dates and 3 unique parks

Butlins in school holidays are always popular,so put those in as your "dummy" ones,cos chances are you wont get them !

Can you use the spa facilities in Le Ranolien?

hi all.
thanks for the codes i missed tuesdays. i did not manage to get booked lat year as i can only do school holiday and there was nothing, any advice?


also iv never been abroad with these how does it work and what are the extra costs involved. thanks/

same as the UK ie min of 4 x £9.50 ( or £15)
then service charge of approx £7 per night
£15 insurance damage waiver thingy

no charge for entertainments passes either

if we get the holiday we want,we will pay £140 for 7 nights and with Eurocamp it would be at least £346 !

you also get discounted ferry with the SUN ie we paid £200 istead of £500 odd last year ( Plymouth - Roscoff overnight with a cabin )

Hey, we are looking at IOW this year, was the park good? Don't know anyone that's been, so not sure which park to look at.

We went to Rookley Country Park (156) a couple of years ago & it was very good. Fishing lake in the middle. The pool is a bit small but fine.
