    Hi,

    With Haven if you aint fussy where you go wait till the week before and then book on the web. With Butlins, if you live near any of them they have a booking shop on site, pay the day fee, go in and book and they refund the fee... its really worth doing as we save a bundle... for example we are going in sept, for two kids, two adults, top accom and top dining package its cost us £700 for a week. The same holiday on the web is £13000 at the mo. If you don't live near a Butlins call them and haggle abit with Sales they are very accomdating :)

    Hope this helps

    Unfortunately, Ive always found with these companies, the earlier you book, the cheaper the price. (Or as already said if you can get onsite and book in person you get even better rates)

    I booked with hoseasons in january and got 40% off. Cant see that amount of discount being offered again between now and august, as alot of sites already have limited availability, espec in the lower end accommodation

    Hi Flea,

    https://www.butlins.com/sw/BAddonsExtra.do?extId=A141E650000013F72C02F1800015A74&r=consumer

    Yep, the above to give you an idea of Butlins prices... they have gone through the roof, we are stopping in a Gold apartment so was more then this but they have sold out. I always go with food tho, don't like cooking on holiday

    MrsGeee,

    You put 13 thousand, £13000.... not One thousand three hundred, £1300.... you added an extra 0, thats why Flea questioned you!!!!!
