We stayed there in January this year. I am a chef and we were told that they: "ran out of poached eggs, but they had fried eggs if we want them instead!" Think about that for a second...

I so feel for the room attendants who have to make up those bunk beds! When beds fit so snuggly against the walls like that, they are an absolute mare to make! I've had many a sweary moment doing those in my time! 🤣 But there's no excuse for poor hoovering.

I used to work at Bognor Butlins and as a rule of thumb. The shoreline is a family hotel for families with younger children. The wave is for families with older children and the Ocean is more for adults. It's a great place to work and a nice place for a holiday. Food can be a bit hit or miss though. :)

Hi Tim, love your videos! I work at Butlins Bognor Regis and have done for 10yrs. I just wanted to say (and I know it’s too late now), but if you wanted to go for a walk along the beach, all you need to do is just go through main gate (the one you drive in from) you will see a little gap in the hedge. If you take a left as soon as you walking through the gap, just carry on walking straight and then carry on walking down the pavement for less than five minutes where the corner bends you can take a right and an immediate left by a blue house, you will see the sea front and the promenade. This is the same promenade (just the other end) that you walked in your day visit to Bognor/Butlins back in 2020. Not sure if you would have known this but if you ventured out you will see a cafe call the Lobster Pot, this is one of the best places to outside but local to Butlins if you don’t want to go anywhere into town. I hope that you stay on resort was still a pleasant. I wish to have met you and would have loved to have served you one of my resort famous crepes. But maybe another time when you come down with the family 🙂. Take care of yourself. Dean K.

As someone who lives on the coast (Eastbourne) I can relate to the dirty exterior. If you repaint it, it will go green in about a year with the sea air down here. Best to stick to plain brick :)

I am always amazed when I stay at a hotel and the room has stains everywhere. How difficult is it for housekeeping to treat those stains or just do a general once over of the room to look for things like stains on the walls or on the carpet? That suggests to me that either the staff is under a lot of pressure or they just don't care. Neither is acceptable to me as a paying patron.

Great video Tim. Stayed at the Shoreline Hotel this time last year (Rockaway Beach) and having worked on it when it was being built in 2005 I must say it is showing its age a bit. In case anyone is wondering - which I am sure they're not! - I did the drawings for all those internal and external 'Juliet' balconies, also the balustrades on the internal staircases, also those big curved glass balustrades on the south facing balconies, also loads of other little bits and bobs of metalwork like a plant room access ladder if I remember correctly. So it's nice to point out to my friends what bits I did the drawings for, they really appreciate that as you can imagine! 🤣🤣🤣Going there tomorrow for the weekend for this year's Rockaway Beach, not to the Shoreline Hotel but to the Ocean Hotel which was the second hotel to be built on the site. Can't wait!

Use to be a red coat there and we now have a yearly reunion every year love bognor and butlins

As a London kid in the 1970s, my parents took us to Butlins every year. Clacton-on-Sea, Bognor Regis, Minehead and even Barry Island. Obviously, never up North, lol. - In the early years they still had communal washrooms and we used to bring our own sheets, pillows and toilet paper with us. Live in Florida now, but would love to go to those 80s/90s weekends! Fantastic family memories....

I love how thoughtful they are towards the kids!

Lovely video Tim, the hotel looks lovely even with the partial sea view. The carpet and curtains look like it needed a deep clean. It was nice they had something for the kids too.

Took the family to Butlins Bognor in December one year. The sea had been rough and flooded the swimming pool! Were given apologies and vouchers to compensate. The vouchers were worth 10x what I had had paid for the holiday! Went home with food for a month!!

Correction: the vast majority of hotels and motels in America have coffee makers with cups, sugar, artificial sweeteners, powdered cream, etc in the rooms. Furthermore, many if not most, have coffee urns and the amenities in the lobby of the establishments from morning through evening. Tea not so much, but that is a cultural difference.

For that price, looked quite a bargain if you want a cheap getaway as room looked good apart from a few cleaning issues, but didn't need a close up of the curtain thank-you😸

Just checked and amazingly cheap on 22nd January at Skegness. 4 nights from £40! You can get the best apartment going. The seaside apartment for only £89. Cheaper than living at home at that time of the year!

I stayed in the ocean Hotel in 2016 , we overlooked the fair and sea , it was really nice

Lovely blog, room looked very nice and roomy thanks for sharing, x😊

Thank you for showing us around. I’ve never been to a Butlins hotel/camp or Pontins, so it’s very interesting to see what it’s like.

Great video thanks, didn’t know that Butlins had hotels, looks great for families shame that it looked tired in places👍🏻❤️

The holiday park videos are my favorite!! Tim should do some of the adult-only weekenders (or aftermath!). I watched the Butlins Minehead video before I went - and did find those abandoned chalets haha. But nothing prepared me for the insanity that ensued during the Back to 00s weekender! 😂

Thanks for the video Tim! Fond memories of butlins as a kid in the 90s- hotel looks very different to the chalets I stayed in with my family back in the day! As someone aged 37 with no kids if I went there on my own I’d love to stay in the kids area of the room with the disco light! 🤣

Great, looking forward to seeing 'what the difference' is with this Butlins Tim!😊

was there for tots week at the beginning of the month, couldn't fault them we were in one ofthe deluxe suites,was clean,comfortable and up to date

Hey Tim, from Ireland and love the videos. Would love to see you and the missus go to Bognor for one of the adult only weekends. Me and some friends travel from Dublin each year for the 80’s weekends they have there. Fantastic place for a mini festival.

I clean some really high end holiday homes for a living and they all have the same switches as those. Glass cleaner works wonders for getting them shiny.

Absolutely love your reviews! I would travel around Great Britain with a railcard and staying in a wide range of accommodation! Before the internet so not posted our experiences, myself, a mixture of my daughters and foster children! We stayed in so many interesting places!

I used to work for a hotel who asked for upfront payment for breakfast and most hotels I’ve been to check if you have prepaid or ask you to pay upfront before entering. Honestly I think it is a tactic to try and prevent people complaining and even if they do it is easier to argue a part refund. Tbh from personal experience that “sorry” from the staff sounds like someone wasn’t at the door to get your payment prior to you entering and they were told to get it ASAP. The staff hate it, the guests hate it but management demand those sale figures.

Hey Tim, you make the start to the weekend great with your videos, plus these are my favourite kind, good work mate 👍

Been to butlins bognor regis 3 times and always stayed in shoreline hotel. Last we have been was 5 years ago and stayed in one of the Nelson suite which is the one with balcony. Nice to see how shoreline hotel looks like now. Would like to go back there again even though the kids are bigger now.

Hi Tim ! Great to see a hotel vlog at Butlins. Looks OK shame it looked like a bit of a prison. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

When we visit we stay at the Ocean Hotel, never had any issues, very clean, the restaurant is what you would expect but again always clean.

Hi Tim another excellent video and the hotel at Butlins looked okay. The room looked nice you stayed in. Thank you for making this video.

Just got home from a rewind adults only weekend ,brilliant the fancy dress ball was wow and we got to see Mcbusted all in all our apartment was clean but had a few damage bits . We were where behind the gate to the beach. 9 of us ...we are definitely coming back 😊

We literally checked out of that hotel today lol we stayed in 139, the carpet was grey and looked fairly new so clearly you had an old carpet. Food was hit and miss, some nights were quite good but others weren’t great. Was heaving with families everywhere which was quite off putting at times

Your videos are beyond fascinating. I know it's a family style hotel, but it looks like a shopping centre by the sea.

I love your content!! Keep up the great work, much blessings 😊

Great vlog Tim. The last time I stayed at Butlins Bognor was around 17 years ago and obviously it was a lot different then. It's a shame Gaby and Casper couldn't join you...maybe next time 💕

Heading to Mighty Hoopla in January next year so it's interesting to see where you can go eat and what the rooms are like!

Hi tim love your videos and i'm from bognor regis and used to work as a kitchen porter in the shoreline hotel

Nice to see the uPVC window frames that I made years ago actually installed! LOL.

Extremely interesting. I visited Bognor Butlins around 1985 with my then young family. Then it was all chalets and generally rather tatty but there was so much to do for the children. All that seems to be left is the gate that opens onto the promenade! Obviously the accommodation is now vastly better!

Hello Tim 😊 The room was nice. I liked the mood lighting and the light in the kids room was good also. 👍

I'm staying in a wave hotel apartment here over Xmas. Can't wait!

Crunchy hash browns...mmm Now when I go into a hotel room I do a "Tim" and look for stains, and there are just some stains you shouldn't think about. From now on I'll just convince myself previous guests have been throwing tea bags, which I had not considered before! I thought the way they had thought about children in the room design was excellent.

Great vlogs, thanks for sharing!

I did not know that Butlins still existed. Good that there is something for a family.

i highly recomend the oceon hotel. if you are on the top floor looking over the park then you can see the oceon as well.

Casper would definitely love the bunk beds when he is a tad older but I think maybe Holly is too old for them 😂

love your videos always fun and interesting ❤

Hi Tim I was here in September . With my wife and daughter we stayed in the delux suites they was nice and we ate in the deck restraint no complaints was nice. Hope you have a good time Ryan 🎉

fan from Wairarapa in New Zealand. enjoy your reviews. I find you're commentary informative as well as hilarious.

4 nights for £99 is a bargain, Tim. Looks pretty good for a cheap break with the family too :) I guess the hotel looks grotty on the outside because of the sea air?

I had no idea these existed, I remember going to a butlins hotel with my gran in Margate back in I think 98, that’s been closed for years

Hi Tim. Love watching your videos. Just wondered if you ever get recognised, either by other guests staying in the hotels or out and about whilst you’re filming or by any of the staff at the places where you stay?. 😊

We stayed there 2 months ago. We stayed at Ocean. Right on the top floor and had a better view but it was not a very nice week. - people smoking underneath - took 2 hours to get to the room they had.1 lift working and 300 people all wanted to check in at the same time. Restaurant was packed and it was so cramped. Will never stay there again

Love the carpark/seaview

Ayyy!! We love it there, we stay in the shoreline, think we were 217!! Haha that was Lucy that asked for your payment, she was lovely

Looks lovely x

Definitely different from those Pontins Chalets you stayed in with Gaby & Casper! Speaking of Casper he would love the playthings on the wall as you said Tim I bet it would give him a few happy hours. And the Kiddie Colour Changing Lamp was perfect for him i can imagine Casper smiling at that! I always love those coloured Lava Lamps even now! Definitely looks like they were adding to the Hotel you with all the Scaffolding up! How odd that little microwave in the Hotel Corridor! The Room was definitely in need of a deep clean & shame the bouncy Carpet was stained. I've never felt a bouncy Carpet beneath my feet! Liked the little Sofa. Didn't like that big air conditioning above the Bunk Bed waffing down cold air brrr! But you looked cosy in the top bunk Tim! Liked the full length Mirror with the handy hooks for Jackets. And great storage for your clothes. And I did like that swing mirror with space for make up or small items. Didn't like the Bed head it reminded me of a padded cell a bit. I don't like a badly made up Bed either Tim. But it was a nice basic room with an excellent view of the Car Park. The Sea view was considerably smaller!😂 The Bathroom looked cleaner. The Little Kiddies Toilet Seat is essential to stop accidents like I had🤣 falling in! The Buffet restaurant shame it didn't float your Boat. Certainly a bit more luxury that the other Butlins you have previously stayed in. The other food outlets looked interesting too! The weather was lovely for you there Tim in Bognor Regis! Hope you haven't suffered with this Storm Babet!

We stay at many different Marriott hotels from budget lines with various kitchen models to the highest end historical hotels. We always get a suite due to our point system and level. I can say we have had amazing experiences all over Europe, Canada, and the US. This line looks like the bottom level Marriott line we would stay in for a night on the way to where we want to end up for a week’s stay.

Luxurious i was a part time security officer/medic early 2000 Only called to chalets but im impressed

You should try the sea view apartments at Butlins Minehead Tim, they're about 7 years old now I believe and they are really close to the beach.

It's changed a bit since I first went all inclusive in 1973 but The Beachcomber Bar still exists I see!

You find some of the most interesting places, Tim. And that seagull was stalking you like nobody's business.🤣😆🤣

We go Christmas. Get the food package and you get all you can eat breakfast. Gold apartments are pretty good. Reds in the evening that time of year is great fun

£ 99 is a darned good deal !

My friend once had me in stitches when he called Butlins Bognor "The Colditz experience by Butlins"... We used to go (with out wives) for the '70s experience.

Brilliant review. Seamless editing, and excellent engagement. One of the best UK overviews.

I stayed in the shoreline hotel with my mum in August 2023 it was really really nice!!☺☺😌😌

Think I was that hotel being built when I went went to Butlins when I was a kid. I haven't been to Butlins for 11 years and so much has change big time.

We stayed there 2 years ago. Around the same time of year. We stopped in The wave hotel and it was nice. Better sea views! Id like to stop in the ocean hotel next time. :)

I've been to Butlins Bognor quite a few times, just this year with a few bands! The Wave Hotel is the best hotel there hands down 😊

Great video Tim the room looked ok apart from the carpet Casper would be in his element there well done x

As a friend of mine likes to say when you get the kiddie toilet seat.. "Hey, look! The toilet has an "Expert" mode!"

They were just starting to build this resort when I was in Bognor in the late 90s

Drove past there a few weeks ago and thought just how dirty and run down the exterior and other buildings looked, but £99 wasn't a bad price but it wouldn't encourage me to stay. But enjoyed the look behind the gates and fences

I’m only a few minutes in watching your video and I have to say the car park looks fantastic! I stayed in Butlins Minehead last September and the car park looked like a huge bomb had gone off in it. Craters and potholes everywhere. The buffet ‘food’ on offer was horrific as well. Accommodation was functional but I wouldn’t be rushing back there tbh.

Hi them u definitely have to try the wave hotel because I’ve gone to that for the last three years and the two top floors for the Seaview is amazing and the wave hotel and the ocean hotel kid friendly as they are family hotels as well

I worked in the kitchens at Butlins one summer many years ago, we had fried eggs then we used to flick them onto a wall a take bets as to which one reached the floor the quickest, those were the eays 😂😂🐣

How Butlins have changed, as a kid some 50 years ago iwas so excited to stay at Clacton Butlins and meet Ploot and Toot.

Looks good, I can't wait to go back to Butlins.

As someone who lived in bognor for 3 years for uni, the prison fence is necessary to keep out the locals 😂

WWMTim, a very positive start. The parking was outstanding. 👏 👏 😂

So interesting to see what Bognor looks like today. I worked in Bognor about 30 years ago. Looks almost totally different. You needed to ask the staff if they can still live on camp and if they do are the wages knocked in half because of rent, mine was. Yea you had to pay rent to Butlins out of your wages Butlins paid you. Also are staff in the staff canteen sill given 'left overs'? When I was at Butlins whatever people that went full-board had to eat one day we got it the next day!

I've stayed at the ocean hotel was great nice stare design as u walk in

Looks nice,thanks for the video

Hi Tim that’s the Shoreline hotel shape of a ship and it Butlins first hotel I’m gonna do the three Hotels been inside the ocean hotel so nice

I very happy i saw this now bc jmgoing to butlins😊

The bench you're standing at me and the kids call "break bench" Welcome to sunny Bognor!!

I never have commented in over a year on your channel before Tim but I very much enjoy your trips , I am surprised you are not working for One of the major TV Channels as you are so professional and enjoyable to watch

Loving the vids mate

I'm going to stay at buttons in may 2024 but I'm going mine head I'm really excited but apparently it got flooded so they are currently doing some work

Not sure what hotels you stayed at in US, but there are always coffee services in the IHG and Hilton hotels I usually stay at. Microwaves as well.

I live quite close to there. We locals joke that the fences are there to keep the guests IN !! :D

Makes me miss the weather

Great video, Tim!

Great video Tim!

Live in New Zealand you are so lucky to have Butlins

Great vido as always tim, what a bargain that was❤
