Just completed our third annual stay at Butlins Skegness in the February Half term. It started 3 years ago when we where looking for something to look forwards to, to get us over the winter - Butlins in Skeggy seemed to have all of the answers. This year we went for a silver room and premium dining - that is a comfortable 2 bedroom (sleeps 4) 1 bathroom suite of rooms in a dual storey terrace of rooms/ suites - our rooms where clean and comfortable and included a TV with freeview in both bedroom, a reasonable shower and tea and coffee / kettle tray. It was a bit like a Travel lodge / HI Express room with the added advantage that they don't expect the kids to share your ..  Read the complete review

We have been to Butlins three times now and enjoyed every minute! There is so much to do, so plan your day carefully. The shows and entertainment are first class. The kids just have a great time. I would recommend going halfboard the food is brilliant, there is such a variety and when we went the kids had the option of eating wholesome and healthy Annabel Karmel meals. We have been in the summer and for a christmas wonderland break, which in my opinion was completely magical. The looks on the kids faces was just priceless! There is something for everyone at Butlin's and watching your children immersed in a fantasy land is worth every penny. If you don't want to stay on ..  Read the complete review

I have just returned from a long weekend at Butlins Skegness so thought it would only be right to write a review on it. Whilst reading remember it is my experience there was lots more things to do than what I did, I can only comment on what I did.

On entering Butlings we were asked to show our letter and thne told which line to follow to the appropriate check in office. I thought this was good cuts down on the waiting time for all. We were in the basic accomadation which after ...  Read the complete review

I've been going to butlins since 2006 and each holiday has been amazing and each better than the last. Although not the cheapest hoiday you will ever have, it's definatley the place to go for entertainment and all round, all weather fun! Okay, so the facilities are really good in my opinion. There's a spa on site (looks really nice although I've never been in myself), swimming pool with flumes and rides and inflateables and anything else you can think of! The three main entertainment venues are the Skyline Pavillion, Reds and Centre Stage. The Skyline Pavillion is the big white tent right in the heart of the resort and is just so unique and amazing. The ...  Read the complete review

Butlins is a name synomous with British holidays. Ever since Billy Butlin opened the first holiday camp at Skegness in 1936, the idea has grown and evolved, hitting a peak in the 1950s and 1960s just before the foreign package holiday took off. Two family holidays in the 1970s left a lasting impression on me. Back then Butlins had holiday camps all over the country, and I have very fond memories of family holidays in the camps in Ayr and in Filey. Of course what I didn't realise then was that the package holiday was already killing the holiday camps off, and despite the popularity of the TV show "Hi de Hi" in the 1980s, which took a ...  Read the complete review
