Diamond review   I've just been to Butlins.. Now I need a Holiday!
Review of Butlins by rosillew

Advantages: Great fun for kids...Nice food and plenty of it!
Disadvantages: Very noisy, crowded lots of queues and kids everywhere.

...have some lovely memories of Butlins Skegness and Clacton as a child, I also enjoyed staying at Butlins Skegness, Minehead, and the Butlins hotel in Brighton and Margate later in life when my children were growing up. Prior to this latest holiday I hadn't been to Butlins for about 15 years. The last time being when my oldest grandson was a toddler…. We found the accommodation very shabby and not very clean (so we never went back again) That ... Read review

HI-DE-HI !
Review of Butlins by Christina666

Advantages: Cheap! Lots of entertainment, party atmosphere
Disadvantages: My addiction to the teddy bear machines!

...can book future holidays at Butlins whilst you are there, and this is who I spoke to about my late booking. Initially I went through to a voice mail which asked me to leave my number for someone to call me back as all the representatives where busy, but since I'd taken their number from customer services, I thought I'd just call back myself. I tried a couple more time, each time getting the voicemail, and although I was convinced nobody would call ... Read review

Butlins Minehead...It Rocks.
Review of Butlins by Trixie_Firecracker

Advantages: Great fun, lots to do, well themed, brilliant location, very atmospheric
Disadvantages: Expensive on site, get fat from all the drinking and junk food.

Now, this review of Butlins Minehead, despite it being advertised as a family holiday complex, would probably appeal more to 18year olds and people round that age region, "young adults", due to the nature of my party and our activities. This in itself shows the versatility of the place, it caters for pretty much everyone and a fantastic time can be had by all. I went to Butlins Minehead for 7 nights during July of 2004. I was 17 at the time, and ... Read review

Butlins Minehead - Fun Fun Fun
Review of Butlins by Toniq

Advantages: Entertainment, Location
Disadvantages: Noisy, crowded.

...I received a call from Butlins asking if I wanted to upgrade to Silver Plus, which were newly decorated chalets with better TV's, this cost £36 but was worth it to have a new clean chalet. The chalets terraced, the rows are quite close together with a strip of lawn inbetween. The boys referred to it as 'our hut' as it reminded them of the prefab huts at school. There was not really any room to relax outside. Once inside the rooms were basic, but ... Read review

Butlins Minehead - The Fun Never Ends!
Review of Butlins by PrincessDi

Advantages: Lots to do for people of all ages
Disadvantages: Don't want to go to bed at night and certainly don't want to come home!

My family and I started going here in 1992 and went again 2 years later and then virtually every year after that, until 2003! So, we've had plenty of time to try most of the activities and facilities mentioned in this review. In 1992 my family consisted of myself and my husband, my eldest daughter aged 7 and my son aged 4. In 1994 I had another daughter. So, we've had experience of facilities for lots of age groups. As well as the usual weeks, ... Read review

The Redcoats Must Be Sponsored By Red Bull
Review of Butlins by minxette

Advantages: Great fun, not too expensive, not too far to stagger back to your room after a boozy night out!
Disadvantages: Aimed at kids therefore a regression of age takes place; it could be months before I reintegrate into society!!!

...Butlin opened the very first Butlins Holiday Camp in Skegness in 1936. The appeal of low price family holidays hit a nerve with the British public and the popularity soared. Camps were soon opened in Clacton (1938), Filey (1945), Pwhelli and Ayr (1947), Mosney (1948), Bognor Regis (1960), Minehead (1962) and Barry Island (1966). During the early years, the camps did make more of a passing resemblance to “Hi de Hi”, with early wake up tannoy ... Read review

Diamond review   Sexy weekend or family fun....Butlins have it all
Review of Butlins by MandyMinx

Advantages: A quick and convenient short break, lots of fun and plenty for your money.
Disadvantages: Self catering is an expensive alternative if you eat on the camp.

...we grab for the Butlins brochure, work out how soon we can afford to get away, and then run for it as fast as we can, as soon as we can. The purpose of writing this op is of course to share with you my personal opinion about my holiday and hopefully to give you all the information you might need to decide if this is the type of break that would appeal to you. I think the most effective way for me to do that is to separate it out into sections.I ... Read review

Best for the kids
Review of Butlins by charlotetc

Advantages: brilliant for the kids
Disadvantages: can spend more then you plan for

...weekend, we all went to Butlins in Bognor Regis (when I say all of us there was a total of 12 including myself and my daughter). Bognor Regis is a small town by the seaside, and is only an hour and a half from London by car. It has been years since I went to Butlins and all has changed since my last visit. I will try and explain the best I can as I’m not to sure of prices as my darling partner paid for everything. *** Accommodation ... Read review

Dont forget the Caravan Park by the Lakeside
Review of Butlins by windyfishface

Advantages: Lots to do , loads of fun
Disadvantages: Can spend a fortune, you never know who your booking with!

...the last. Please check with Butlins caravan sales if you are one of the unfortunate people who have booked this caravan. Butlins were very helpful but had trouble finding us somewhere else sot stay as they were fully booked and it was only by chance tht one of the other owners had decided not to go to his caravan that we were able to rent it (At our cost) Please be warned there are good and bad out there. A lot of the caravan owners use an agent ... Read review

Butlins at Bognor Regis - good for entertainment
Review of Butlins by Alison3

Advantages: It was fairly close to where we live
Disadvantages: too noisy

...having read many reviews about Butlins in Bognor Regis that were not at all good, with only the odd one saying a few nice things, I was really dreading my time there. However I have been very pleasantly surprised indeed. At the beginning of the year I decided to save the tokens from the Daily Express newspaper for a short break to a choice of venues around the South Coast. After completing all the forms and sending the relevant tokens, a cheque ... Read review

Butlins: how many chavs can you fit in a tent?
Review of Butlins by kellie_louise

Advantages: Great for children or chavs
Disadvantages: Bad food, accomodation, prices

...had never been to a Butlins resort before, so when my husband found a great deal on the internet, we thought why not, looks like fun and booked for 4 days in May, half board for the bargain price of £99 for both of us. Shortly after booking, we had a phone call from butlins offering to upgrade our accomodation to silver for a small charge, which means we would get a shower and also maid service. We chose to do this. After looking forward to our ... Read review

Gosh is it time to go home?
Review of Butlins by Groovee

Advantages: lots to do, plenty of fun, reasonable prices
Disadvantages: Can be far away

Having just returned from Butlins at Skegness I thought I would write about our experience! This is based around having young children under the age of 5! Butlins at Skegness is on the A52 road and is very well signed posted to find it! It's not far from Maplethorpe! It says in the brochure that you can see the main pavilion from 7 miles away. It took us to be about 3 miles before we started to see the top of it and that was coming thru the ... Read review
