    No everything is free passes, but bring bedding/towels and you have to pay for elec which is no more than £3-4 tops bargain :)

    Oh well just being helpful !!! Otherwise the free holiday won't be.

    The speed limit changes about four times in a mile, can be a bit dunting for someone who hasn't been to the area.

    And no I don't speed, but this is the area where 1 mile over and ...................................................................

    Hi Lilaclily, I hope not.

    I went through that area yesterday and didn't see them until too late and I am sure I was doing just over 30.

    Hiya all,

    Many thanks to the OP for this post, called on Saturday night and managed to book 4 nights in Prestatyn starting on Mon 2nd.. Just one query, I have never been to Pontins and money is not at a premium, does anyone have any tips for taking this holiday in a money saving fashion?? I have a 2 yr old DS and am worried that the activites etc are going to cost a fortune!!

    Thanks,

    Sarah xx
