I've visited Pontins 4 times, but not for a considerable time, the first being around 1994 at their Blackpool site, The second around 2002 at Brean Sands and the latter 2 at Southport. I have good and bad memories of my 1st visit. It was full board and the majority (if not all the cost) was paid by the Family Fund, a charity aimed at ...  Read the complete review

Our family visited Pontins at Prestatyn in 1992 and it was a really dirty run-down site then, and it seems it still is! On arriving, we actually drove past the entrance twice as I could not believe that this was Pontins! After queuing for a long time to receive keys to chalet, we nervously went to find our 'holiday home'. The ...  Read the complete review

PONTINS BURNHAM BREAN SANDS My wife, I and our (then) two children stayed in Pontins Brean Sands on a Sun holidays cheap deal. We arrived knowing that the apartments would be basic, but boy they were 1960s basic! We immediately upgraded (believe it was about £100 to upgrade) to the top-level apartments which were a lot better and far ...  Read the complete review

I booked our Pontins holiday after receiving a tip off on a cheap deal. I'd never been to Pontins before so I went in with an open mind. We took our then 9 mth old crawling son with us. We stayed in a club appartment in Prestatyn (alledges to be the best accomodation on offer!??) Two bedrooms with two single beds in each, a ...  Read the complete review

As a child we holidayed most years at the Mablethorpe holiday camp near Bridlington. This was in the 1970's, and these holiday camps were the best as far as we kids were concerned. Each family had its own chalet, which, as I recall, lacked for nothing. Days would be spent riding two seater bikes around the other chalets whilst ...  Read the complete review

I first started going to pontins when I was a teenager. It was introduced to me by a group of friends I used to go out with. I was only 18 at the time. They suggested that it was great for entertainment and they when you'd had a few drinks it was only a short distance back to your chalet. They said if you were lucky you could even invite a girl ...  Read the complete review

Pontins Southport..is my Daughters favorite holiday, and it was very cheap and cheerful. I took my 2yr old there for 4 nights in september, on a budget.This was one of the best holidays ive had in England , the perfect break that was needed at the time. I found the site very easy to find as once we hit Southport main train station, we ...  Read the complete review

We recently visited Pontins Camber Sands in October 08. When we booked we went for the club room which is supposed to be one of their best standards of accommodation. We booked this as we would be taking our 5 year old son and our 1 year old son who would be spending a lot of time on the floor. When we arrived we checked in fine and went to our ...  Read the complete review

We went to camber sands in august 08. We stayed in budget accommodation, it was not the best of apartments but was not as horrible as we thought it would be. The seagulls woke us up in the morning because they were so loud. It did not help that people kept feeding them.Daytime was very good for kids who wanted to do activity such as zip wire, ...  Read the complete review

we as a family of 5 went to pontins cambersands august 08.
i thought that the entertainment was pretty good and the shows that were put on, the bluecoats worked hard.
their werent much else really to do not even out of the site.
there wasnt a tesco for miles!
the apartment we stayed in was DISGUSTING!! i had to go and buy my own cleaning stuff to clean it and also over heard others saying the same thing.
also was just wondering if it was chavs week, the week we were down there, everyone looked dirty and smelly!!
it looked like most of them were on income support and the government had paid for them to have a holiday!!
wont be going back!!

just like to say we stayed at pontins brean from 16th - 20th june 08 and had a fantasic time we were a family of 6 which included four kids under 6 there was enough room in our budget accomadation and to be honest the entertainment was very good (look out for the mad hatters )wat a scream they were we cant wait to go back next year only one bad thing though food in the queen vic seemed expensive for the amount you got try else where for food
