Within five minutes of checking in we were lost, then we spotted a "blue coat" and he was ...  Read the complete review

Butlins in Minehead was certainly one of the best holidays I have spent in such a park for a very long time. Back in the 80`s Butlins had a very bad press as a whole but it seems now that the park has got its act together and everything seems to be running smoothly and efficiently. The entertainment provided by the red coats was exceptional. ...  Read the complete review

As an ex-Butlins staff member, I have "inside information" on how the place is ran. Firstly, accomodation... Staff should be going round to clean accom. units regularly, then another staff should go and check that it has been cleaned properly and has the right equipment, (e.g, cutlery, clean linen, hoovered etc) and then about ...  Read the complete review

We have just returned from a weeks break at Butlins in Minehead and we all had a fabulous time! Booking We booked our break quite late – about 6 weeks before we were due to go.
