Butlins: do they have a fridge in apartments?

johnjameson

We've booked 7 days in Skegness

I looked at the details of the booking
It says that none of the accommodation comes with a fridge!

We need a fridge!
We have a 1 year old and need to store cold milk

We didn't forget this. We looked at the pics... and there was a white machine in the kitchen that couldn't be anything else other than a fridge!!

It's not necessarily the end of the world...
I suppose we could buy a travel fridge for about £30 - but have no use for it otherwise!!

Thanks

Why not look at the Butlins website?

From this webpage it appears that all apartments have a fridge... click on Compare rooms and apartments to see that.

It also shows that if you have not booked an apartment, there will be no fridge.

Their Hire Shop will hire you a fridge if needed... see here===>>>

Click on SKEGNESS, then What can I hire? to see that.

All the apartments have fridges with small freezer compartment at the top.....

room do not have fridges - so you need to check what you have booked a room or an apartment?

When we stayed in a Bognor Regis silver 2 bedroom half board apartment, they did not have a fridge, but we hired a small one from the onsite shop for milk. They also had an onsite supermarket you could buy milk at as well.

We have stayed various times, and always had a fridge in our apartments.

Phone up the site and ask, they will be able to give you a definitive answer.

Just to warn you they can run out of fridges to hire

Hi Susancs

How much did it cost you to hire the fridge? I booked a silver double room for me and my 3 yr old son in June and I need to store milk so that he can have his cocoa bottles on an evening

Thanks

It was a few years now but I seem to remember we paid a £25 refundable deposit and it was about £10 for a weeks hire. The shop is open late at night if you just need to get milk each evening.

Oh okay thanks, I will double check just incase.. something I should have queried before. I always leave things until the last minute :-)

Also just another question, I'm going to Skegness for the 4 night tots break and was wondering if £100 spending money would be enough? I have premium dining added on so were ok for food and am packing snacks, drinks etc but not sure as to how much money I will need. It will be my first time going.
Thanks x

A lot of the entertainment is included and as you have food included in your package, you could probably work out how much you would spend on treats. If you wanted to make savings it is cheaper to bring items with you from the poundshop such as an swim arm bands if your son can't swim, bucket and spade, light up items etc. as these items are usually expensive there. As I said previously it has been a few years since at Butlins, but we found it was worth buying the kids drinking cup (which has fizzy drink in it) and filling it in the apartment with dilute squash before going into the entertainment.
