Advantages: Great family holiday.

..., sports, comedy, kid’s specials and even a religious festival-spring harvest. For details on the upcoming events and next years spring harvest visit WWW.Butlinsonline.co.uk What’s on off camp- Well Minehead is quite a small place, in fact there’s probably more on site than off, but they do have a small shopping area as well as the beach, there is the steam rail station and just up the road in Dunster is Dunster castle and medieval village. There is also the station at Watchet, the Tropiquaria and if you are willing to travel a little you can get a bus from Minehead to Taunton (for about £4 return) Minehead itself has several supermarkets including a good sized Tesco, it has a gym and holds a market every Tuesday and Thursday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Experience- Ahh so...

Disadvantages: You get what you pay for.

...We went to Butlins Minehead this July for 4 nights. We stayed in Silver Half Board accomadation whihc means breakfast and dinner are included. Booking: Booking was easy. I booked on-line at www.butlins.co.uk. It cost a total of £250 for 5 nights half board. This was for 2 adults and 1 child under 3 years. I booked early as you get special offers on the website and this holiday was one of them. First thoughts: We got there late. Our car broke down on the 6 hour journey there so we missed the checking in times and didn't actually arrive until 11pm at night! All you need with a tired 2 year old in the back seat. We were put in a standard room for the night until our own keys were found then next morning. I was just so tired by this point we did not argue, any room was better then none. Standard accomadation is ok... Read review

...We just spent a fabulous weekend break at butlins in Minehead. Despite the poor weather.. sleet and snow and lots of rain! We found our day non stop :) The children we absolutely shattered every night and we got to spend some time together as a couple too! There was a range of activities from shows for both adults and children to ten pin bowling (deals available), swimming (total charge ..30p for a locker), the fair (mostly free) and redcoats run clubs (free) to entertain the children giving you time to enjoy a coffee! We chose Gold accomodation self catering and the appartment was brilliant. It was clean, freshly decorated and had everything you would need for a weekend/ week break. All we had to take was ourselves, food, drink and clothes to wear! The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. We did eat out in pizza hut... Read review
