Aye, can't complain at all, are you all sharing a large apartment? Actually, it must be a caravan if it's Saturday-Saturday is it?

Yeah its a caravan, we used http://www.karensholidays.co.uk/ stayed in 1 of there vans last year and it was very clean and the deposit was returned 1 week after our stay.

Nice one, I'll check them out for next year.
Actually, just compared with willis holidays and willis seems cheaper, might be different depending on dates but worth checking out the difference.

Depends how old kids. Been 3 years in a row now with son who is is now 4 n half. He loves it. Free rides. Arcades. Bowling. Beach. Footie pitch and class pool. Whats not to like. Food is not too bad either on the dining plan. Sometimes gotta ignore some of the plank of families that go there but thats what gold apartments are for. Keeps ya away from them a bit

The caravans did that too. I found that although some families did look like a bunch of chavs (many of them ended up being mags) - they were mainly ok and didn't cause bother.
I'm staying in the gold apartments next time, cheap as chips, a bit out of the way though?

Southport Weekender has finished now so I believe (although sure it'll come back as something else)

They have just done those ones up. Werent gonna have a holiday this year with havin 4 month old but booked one last minute and got seaside apartments. They were the lowest ones last year but have done a brill job of doing them up and adding the decking/seating area outside
All ive ever stayed in other than this year where i stayed in the seaside. The gold have extra little stuff such as dishwasher etc they have double and 4 single beds so next time im payin for family and invitin mother down aswell see if we can get away with it. In terms of the walk its nowt from the gold to main bit. Nice walk on a night to chill out as it gets warm in entertainment places

About the same age by the sounds of it. Hoping booking the gold will keep us away from whole families wearing barcodes to be fair...

Never been to Butlins OR Skeggy but we're booked in for a weekend festival in December!! Sharing a 2 b/r apartment - £70 for the festival and digs!! Can't grumble.

That'll work as you don't really need a pass except for in reds and even then not always.
Saying that though, do they even charge extra based on party size? I thought you paid based on the accommodation?
How many bags of pork scratchings did he have with his pint?

I went last year for one of the adult only weekends, I don't remember a whole lot but I do know I had a very good time.
