Pontins

Advantages: Great Family Entertainment
Disadvantages: Ants in the challet

Pontins at Brean Sands Somerset Holiday Camps. No longer a hi-di-hi experience with heavy tents that falls down in the midnight rainstorm, or the dirty dancing encounter where your parents assume that you love to sit huddled in the corner whilst some drab old man stands on the stage telling ridiculous and un-funny jokes that make you wish you had stayed at the bottom of the pool and never emerged. These days holiday camps have had a vast improvement ...
...Somerset to the campsite of Pontins where we recently stayed for a week. ***Location : Brean, Somerset*** Brean is situated on the coast of Somerset between Burnham-on-sea and Weston Super-Mare. Brean itself is a very quaint and quiet village size place with sandy beaches running right next to the Pontins campsite right through to Berrow which is another small village size area just down the road. It is about 15 minutes away from Burnam and about ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap holday, entertainment
Disadvantages: Minor irritations

...have I been?...I've been to Pontins to check out the scene!! I first went to Pontins at their Blackpool site three years ago with my husband. I won a three day holiday there courtesy of my local bingo hall, very appropriately on mothers day! Eager to have a small break from family life (three very energetic kiddies) hubby and I pottered off on an all expenses paid trip to sunny Blackpool !! Despite winning on Mothers day, it was in fact September ...
...had booked the entire of Pontins for the break and had awarded holidays to every club in the country (also Scotland). Travel was laid on with coaches and activities above and beyond Pontins own were arranged. Several thing particularly struck me about the holiday... firstly that this was not how Pontins would usually function, typically being aimed at families, now being over run by bingo addicts all over 18!! Secondly they had obviously gone out ... Read review

Advantages: Are you being bloody funny?
Disadvantages: Don't know where to start, just read the opinion.

...have only stayed at a Pontins just the once (Thankfully), so I don’t claim to know the ins and outs, the regular prices and places where you may find a Pontins Holiday Camp, I am just writing about my one and only experience. So this opinion will not include the usual information, I’m sure there are plenty of excellent opinions that already tell you the basics; this is basically just a rant about the place. Right, now that’s out ...
...offer for holidays in various Pontins Holiday Camps, whilst reading through the locations, she noticed one of the camps was in Devon, to be precise it was actually a place called Brixham in South Devon and they were offering a 5 day stay for only £10 per person (as it was the off-peak season), well anyway, my sister suggested we phone up and go down there for a short break, as knowing Devon to be a very nice place, surely the Pontins down there would ...

Advantages: close to beach and amusements
Disadvantages: everything else, cheap, shabby, poor

We stayed at Pontins Brean Sands near Burnham on Sea in Somerset in October 2007. We booked this through The Sun Newspaper holiday scheme, so it cost us £38 for 3 nights and a further £12 for entertainment passes. We decided to take our own bed linen to save another £6. Electricity was thrown in free as part of the deal. This would have cost us around £70 by booking direct with Pontins through the internet, for a weekend in October. We have stayed ...
...basic and then there is Pontins idea of basic! This review is my opinion of the Brean Sands holiday park based on the 2 nights that we stayed there. (We went home early as we could not stand it any longer!). The review feels like a bit of a moan at times, but I really can't think of anything else nice to say about the place! LOCATION ++++++++++ The location is actually very good, the park is across the road from Berrow beach and next door to ... Read review

Advantages: Plenty to do
Disadvantages: Price of the drinks!

...there's only one road and Pontins is on it. So we get there at about 1pm but we cant book in until 4pm, however we get to use the facilities, so we spent a few hours having a drink and splashing about in the pool. Booking in was not quite the horror others have described. They had 6 Bluecoats working, you handed over your booking letter and received an envelope with your key, directions and some vouchers. Where you got to go was luck of the draw. ...
...Classic apartment we paid for, or the cheaper Budget one, the only difference is the distance to the entertainment's. If we did end up in a Budget apartment then we paid £50 for our linen hire, but we are enquiring and will let you know what happens. We trotted off to see if we were really in Stallag 13 and were pleasantly surprised. They were in two storey blocks, but tastefully painted with lots of greenery and trees around. Quite a few did look ... Read review
