I don't know if this is a common problem but I was trying to book a weekend in Butlins but I had to put four parks in. One of the four I put in just to fill the three other boxes was a Haven site and it was the only one coming up as available for the dates I was using. Once I changed the Haven park for a different park in my four, Butlins came up as available! So does it default to only show you Haven sites if you've selected one as an option?
This is useful to know, thank you. It shows that it is worth having a bit of a play with options in order to try and get the one you want.0 -

The Sun ferry offer does not cover the May mid term break.
So yes this is an option, but is not available at a reduced rate.Smiles are as perfect a gift as hugs...

I was looking at Eurotunnel and using tesco vouchers, it's worth a look.0 -
I couldn't get Duinrell last night but managed a back to back booking (using 2 codes) at Hendra in Cornwall. I telephoned them today to ask if we could have the same MH for the week rather than move half way and they said we could but it would be an extra £12!! I thought this was a bit cheeky, especially as us staying in the same caravan would save them having to clean 2!!

I would do that, except I flattened my tesco points getting my DS Beats headphones when they were on special for Christmas. I am therefore going to have to part with hard cash to get to Duinrell

Yes this is the right way to do it...I only ever go for butlins bognor and notice they go very quickly. I did not get my 1st choice date of 23/05 I actually don't think its available.
A tip I learnt from here a few years ago on how to finesse even further is to put your 1st choice date n park for 1st n second choices then for the others put down really hard to get parks (Europe or Devon one's) then sought after dates (half term/bank hols) doing it that way brings up your available options....but remember sometimes dates n parks listed are just not available rather than all gone...0 -
Hi yes, I got 3 nights at Butlins Skegness. I actually got two holidays there but am selling one for no profit as booked the wrong dates originally! - see my previous post, its Friday 6th June to Monday 9th if interested.mrsgreenwood wrote: »Anyone managed to get butlins Skegness?
