    I managed to book half an hour ago but the site kept crashing.... it has now booked the same holiday twice!!!! This happened to me two years ago, they say they do not give refunds after confirmation is sent out. I still have more holidays to book so will have to keep trying.

    Sorry to here that, the booking site was a nightmare last night. I hope everything went smoothly with your other hols.

    I managed to get 3 of the 5 hols I wanted. The two I've missed out on are

    Charlton Mere (Suffolk) on the 1st of April which only had Premier Plus available at £33.50 per person making the total cost of the holiday £148 compared to £98 if you book direct with the park !

    and

    Dovercourt (Essex) on the 5th of April which again only had Premier Plus available at £42.50 per person making the total cost of the holiday £215.20 compared to £169 if you book direct with the park !

    l will try the Sun's £9.50 hols for those.

    Breakfree added more hols to their website at around lunch time on booking day this time last year. So if like me you have missed out on the hols you want, it's still worth trying again later today.

    Fingers crossed for you, like you say they may release a few more on the breakfree site later on so keep checking. Thanks for all your help last night, I managed 4/5 (plus the duplicate!) I'm so tired today, the last thing I feel like doing is trying to sort out a refund. When it happened two years ago I had to go through my bank, it took ages to sort out and the bank only went and refunded ALL of my holidays which were then cancelled by breakfree, I was able to rebook but what a nightmare.

    At least you got your money back last time, it's such an unnecessary pain though.

    The site couldn't have been live until 10.30 ish yesterday evening. The words TRAVEL and BUCKET (which are both valid codes) were on my list of 100 codes from previous promotions which I was entering very time the code boxes reappeared on the booking site.

    The booking site is showing no availability anywhere on any date now, so hopefully it is down due to new hols being added.
