  • Do you have to pay for Linen and it seems too good to be true?

    Its usually an extra so bring some along :)

    Saying that we always cancel linen with Park Resorts and its always been included but we always bring some just in case
  • How can it be so cheap? as on park resorts website, its like £150+

    on these Break Free or Sun holidays the price you pay on the website is very cheap BUT you also need to pay for compulsory service charge per unit per night pupn - for gas and electric which adds on about £30 and then you can choose if you want entertainment passes - different prices at different sites - but maybe £30 for a family of 4 plus you pay for linen if you want it ....£14 at haven sites for a family of 4...

    so we always turn down the linen and take our own duvets/ sheets etc plus take extra sleeping bags as caravans get cold....

    but we always book ents passes and the swimming pool is what we go for...

    so holidays usually cost between £90 - £120 for our family of 4 depending on site chosen and time of year BUT given as we only go in school holidays ie this year we have had an Easter break, a JUbillee weekend break, and have an August break and Oct half term break all booked for on average £100 a holiday - then that is a VERY good deal..


    BUT if you are booking out of season dates it might be cheaper to book direct with the site..

    Because they fill empty caravans, they would rather make something rather than nothing, keeps the club busy etc

    I got the bill trough yesterday its cost me a total cost of £94.75 for 3 night including passes and power charge for 4 people , bearing in mind this is bank holiday weekend and school holidays i consider that a serious bargain

    Thats a great price and sad to see caravans still empty for summer hols esp bank holiday weekend . Out of that £95 the home owner will be lucky to see £25.
    :cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:

    The bad weather has really hurt the travel industry this year, every weekend we plan to go out and then it rains so don't bother, businesses must be hurting so bad :(

    Same as this weekend we were going to go to the seaside today but its chucking it down and wont bother again

    It's that tricky word "from" every time isn't it... I'd love a £15/night holiday..... but there's always the small print to make it £60.

    Some of the Sun £9.50 hols are actually that - there are certain parks & dates where service charge & entertainment passes are free. But of course you might not want to go where & when they are...

    Thought this would give me a good price for me and the bf but none of the parks allow pets and the prices are based on four people. Shame, but should be a bargain for larger (pet-free) parties
