    I feel as though I am missing out not ever being on a Sun Holiday. Can I ask please, are the codes etc., you share enough to book online or do I need something or other from the newspaper to make a booking?

    Yes,I will post enough codewords for all to be able to book so no need to buy the newspaper.
    You will need a total of 10 codewords and use this booking office.

    I know that Easter dates 2016 are available for priority bookers. Does anyone know if the European parks are available then(the ones that are open obviously)

    Has anyone managed to get any euro parks for the following year booking in this promotion?
    I have only ever booked October in the july set of dates.
    Looks like they are included.
    I found this post on the netmums forum

    Hi we went on a Sun holiday for the first time last April, to Siblu Les Charmettes south of La Rochelle in France. Based on our experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it:

    - ferry to France half price
    - very impressive caravan, clean and with everything we needed
    - our holiday was DEFINITELY cheaper than the brochure price (rising to £1500 per week in peak season)
    - even though it was still April, nearly all of the camp's facilities were open (but I made it my business to check this before booking)

    We plan to go closer to home (Brittany) next year to cut down on travelling once in France.

    Essex boy, the euro sun holidays are definitely worth doing if you have to go in school holidays. We go at least once a year, either in the May or October half term and we save loads.

    We have been to the three
    Paris sites and all are great for doing Disney. One if the sites La Croix run a shuttle bus to Disney a couple of days a week, and another one, Le Chene Gris has a train station at the entrance t the site.

    We pay for the tunnel with Tesco vouchers, or look around for a good ferry deal which brings the cost down even more.

    Agree, the Paris sites are great, as are plenty others in France.

    However a word of caution, many of the sites are typically French insofar as they don't allow you to wear swimshorts in the pool, men are forced to wear budgie smugglers! Thankfully, it now highlights if this is the case next to the online listings on the 9.50 site - worth keeping in mind if you're like me and not a fan of this.

    I did Hafan-Y-Mor last year, in easy reach for the train ride up Snowdonia, also Portmadoc for the Bleanau Ffestiniog railways to the Slate Quarries.


    If you were in to the series `The Prisoner` Portmeirion is well worth a visit also.


    Hafan Y Mor has not got a good beach but a mile or two down the coast to Creccieth for easy parking on the beach road.




    Be aware there is a Sewrage Plant next to the site just off the beach, and if you draw the short straw you may want to upgrade.


    Hope that helps.

    Hi, I have a sun holiday booked for August and I haven't received anything from them for this promotion? Do I use the same reference number as last time but have to wait for all the codes to come out as I have no priority code?

    Sorry if that's a dumb question but I only usually book 1 a year so I'm a newbie to multiple bookings

    Thanks

    It probably won't work.
    Best thing to do is contact them

    Yes agree about European sites, used both La Croix Du View Point and Le Chene Gris in October half term Always had good caravans and never any problems. Le C.G. is closer to Disneyland e.g. 15mins but we felt site facilities were poor. La C.V.P. is very good location for Paris, Parc Asterix and lovely towns and villages close by. Also been to sites in Brittany, Loire and always good enjoyed. You also don't pay for entertainment passes, all other options are available e.g.linen, welcome pack etc

    is it possible to book for more than 8 people on one holiday or is it possible to book 2 holidays with one code.

    You can book unlimited holidays online (but you need 10 codes rather than 1). When booking any holiday you need to give a choice of 4 parks and a choice of 4 dates, so there is no guarantee that you would all be allocated the same date and/or same park.
