    Went to Butlins Skegness last year via the sun booked with my friends code she didn't need that time. It works out loads cheaper if you don't fall for the hype and buy lots of extras and upgrades. we found we didn't need passes anyway so I am so glad we didn't pay for them.

    Good tip thanks. What about the bedding charge? don't really want to lug duvets and pillows too lol x

    I have been to Butlins with the Sun and yes they work out cheaper that's what were hoping for this time

    Me too,but not a disaster if I don't get it as my 5 yr old Grandaughter loves Felixtowe Beach.
    With the Docks next door and the dock train running at all hours it's not grown ups favorite place but she was there in September and still talks about it.

    I've got a week at Butlins,Bognor in JUly for two of my other Grandchildren and another Chalet for my sons girlfriends family from the January offer.

    Has anyone been to Butlins through the Sun? Wondered if it works out cheaper? x

    I literally just got back from a holiday to Butlins Minehead last Friday that I booked through the Sun.

    I have been 4-5 times now through the Sun.

    It is much cheaper than paying direct through Butlins for half term breaks but apparently you may get it cheaper through Butlins direct if you are booking term time.

    I'm looking to try and book a 7 night holiday in August to Butlins which I have worked out as £571 for 3 people half board in Silver accommodation. Booking direct with Butlins would cost me £1,384! So a whacking great saving.

    Last week (Easter half term) cost me £268 half board in a Silver room and would have cost just under £600 if booked through Butlins.

    I hope this has helped. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Also, some has asked before about the accomodation. If you choose half board then you just get a room, which is okay for us as we only use it to sleep in. If you don't pay half board you then get a self catering apartment which means room, kitchen diner with seating area. You can pay a small fee pp for an upgrade to silver, which I highly recommend. But if you upgrade any further then you are paying the full park price and won't get any savings by booking through the Sun.

    I got Butlins in Sept at Skegness, it was cheaper though our accommodation was so dirty we left the day after we arrived. Others have had a better experience but Butlins customer service was appalling.

    £11,860.00 needed = £1,106 in savings

    Applied for a railcard earlier - but my LO is under 5 so doesn't get a ticket in any case. Do the family tickets work for just adults ?
