I recently took my family to Skegness Butlins for a weeks self catering holiday and I must say at first sight of our accomodation I wasn't over impressed, we had a 3 bedroomed chalet far enough we did book basic accommadation, but it was a bit dirty and a few things broken, the toilet seat was cracked and our kettle didn't work, we did report these faults to customer service and recieved a new kettle. The rooms were ample enough and quite comfortable, but once we had a look around the site we were pleased. The site has plenty of facilitys, good swimming pool, crazy golf, amusments, shops and plenty of eating places, but the best thing was the entertainment. They had a great family entertainment lounge which was a lovely size and plenty of seating, there was activities like face painting for the children and they were selling balloons and all illuminated gadgets. The entertainment staff were fantastic and had the children joining in with all the party songs. They covered entertainment for all ages, and had adult only entertainment lounges. This is a great family holiday and at under £200 it was a real bargin.

I have tried alot of the butlins too and agree that basic is often what it says basic not always do you have everything in unit and some breakages,but it is often sorted out quickly. good first effort welcome aboard so to speak.
