We are in one of these now and they are dirty and very run down with mould in bathroom window frames rotting the whole place needs to be refurbished. For the price very disappointin. One restaurant we went to the cups and plates were dirty( plates still had baked beans stuck on them) bins outside were overflowing.The entertainment seems to repeat itself every 4 days, so book a show Saturday it gets repeat Wednesday and Thursday. Stephen Mulhern is only on for 40 mins ( thought it would be a longer show seeing he is the main attraction) and as soon as the show ends the venue closes within 15 minutes. Would no recommend Butlins too pricey for what you get. Very disappointing all round.

I agree they need to invest in accommodation as it's very old now. I would have done that rather than build the new Xperience centre. This is why I also avoid peak holiday time. It's too busy, and I don't think it's as good value for money as off peak. But I appreciate that a lot of people have no choice.

Hi Kari! Hope you're well & enjoying the sunshine? I'm thinking of booking a break to Minehead as feeling desperately nostalgic. I know the chairlift etc has been removed, but I can't seem to find out if the rapids are still going in the pool? Is it worth travelling all that way? I've found a pretty good mid-week deal in a few weeks time :) Thank you x

It's much bigger than Bognor, if I were to go again, I like the look of the bungalows. It's weird because it's familiar, but not at the same time. I wouldn't go for less than a week, purely because of the distance away from us.

It's about 4 hours by train from Portsmouth & then an hour & 20 mins by bus too, so I'm not sure I can be 'bothered' to travel so long when I've already booked the winter wonderland break at Bognor this year :) The steam train looks fun though & the bungalows look cosy too :)

This is one of the better Premier Plus rooms. It should be understood NOT ALL Premier Plus rooms have walk in showers. Basically, ONLY the hotels built in the last couple of years have them, e.g, Dartford and Faversham, where they've built the rooms from scratch, with the hotel. All the others, e.g. Farnham, Cockermouth, are merely retro-fitted with some Premier Plus additions, but, crucially, as far as I'm concerned, DO NOT have the showers! They still have the old baths, with pimped up rainfall shower, attached to the old shower head, and are useless. My view is, if the rooms have the walk-in showers, they're worth the extra money. If they're just the pimped up baths, NO. The mini-fridge, btw, is pretty small...

Absolutely, the Father Christmas experience this year was outstanding. I really hope they bring that back. They could run it all day every day and still need more slots. It was so popular.

@@KarionTravelling Yes it looked so much fun for the girls :) Would've loved that when we were little, although we had the best Santa's grotto & Christmas parties where my Dad worked, so can't grumble. I've just looked at prices for the 2nd of December! Such good value... So I might have to be a 'little bit naughty' this year...

Forgot to mention I worked a Christmas season in the Butlins store & on photography. Was fun, but exhausting too. Worked 8 consecutive days! We also received a selection box and a chocolate orange from my manager and we all had a superb 3 course Christmas meal, meal out & disco, a fab night with East 17 performing live on stage. It really was a fab & fun time, hence why I wanted to experience the winter wonderland experience again, but as a guest & we weren't disappointed! I would've happily paid more for the break actually.

@Hayley-dm2je I've heard that Butlins have great rewards for staff. It makes such a difference to staff motivation and morale.

@@KarionTravelling Yes you're right. It was such a nice surprise to receive a few unexpected chocolatey treats just before Christmas! I really did appreciate the selection box & the chocolate orange. It made me feel appreciated & valued . The Al you can eat Christmas dinner in the restaurant went down a treat too. I had beef Wellington & turkey :) and a selection of starters too probably! A colleague and I had about 3 desserts because they were just too tempting to resist! haha! A few people complained about things, but I had the time of my life mostly. It was defintely tiring, but also one of the most fun experiences of my life!

That sounds very special. We haven't been over Christmas day yet, but I've heard great things about it. Was it everything you hoped for.

@@KarionTravelling it was! And it was amazing, definitely made Christmas feel a lot more special in it's own ways. Having Christmas dinner in the restaurant with crackers, and elderly man on the table opposite gave my son his last cracker, the dad's wearing their Christmas pj's whilst on the fair rides etc. It didn't feel like a normal Christmas at all, but it was nice seeing everyone else celebrating Christmas at the same time and all the kids having fun x

No, not unless you're close enough to the main building. But I believe you can pay for it at some parks.
