Butlins (Skegness) Reviews

I have spent many a weekend here at Butlins in Skegness but always the adult 70's themed weekends. They have been brilliant and for about £80 for 4 days and 3 nights its a real bargain. To be honest though i would have no idea about the facilities Butlins has to offer as we were self catering so ate in to save on funds and then partied all ...  Read the complete review

just returned from skegness,ive never come across such a moneymaking scheme in my life ,the fair was not free at all, everywhere you ventured you got kidded into paying out for something,i felt sorry for families who had a few kids with them, most things on the fair were £4 per go,the food was nice but no organisation at meal times, long lines no order whatsoever, what about the great british butlins,full of foreign workers, what about jobs for our people. also lots of money spent i dont know what on,supposed to be apartments there just updated chalets from years ago i wont be returning anyway

Have just returned from a week long break to butlins with my husband and three sons, aged 1,3&5. It was our first visit and we will be definetely going back again. It is such a fun resort with so much to offer for the kids. I think the biggest advantage for us is that there is two funfairs, one for the little ones and one for older children ...  Read the complete review

we are just back from a 4 day half board gold accomadation break at skegness (17th august to 21st august 2009)
There was my wife, our daughter and 2 grand children.
The accomadation, and food at the yacht club was excellent, the entertainment was very good , drink prices ok....bottle coke £1.20p, pint of lager £2.40p so not too bad at all.
We had a real fantastic holiday, and hope to go back again soon, if i could give it marks out of ten i would say 10/10,

We have just returned from Butlins Skegness after a 7 night break, this is the 3rd time our family of 5 have been, and it was brilliant, the food, entertainment and staff were second to none as always, the weather was fab too, You cant fault good ole skeggy, there is plenty to do for the kids and they were kept amused all day from the moment they ...  Read the complete review

recently myself and my husband took our 3 boys ages 12, 10 and 8 years to butlins in skegness for a 7 night break, before we left we did what most families do and look at reviews sent in by other people on the internet and their are a lot of reviews some good some bad, but to be honest we went with an open mind and were very impressed, a holiday ...  Read the complete review

Having just returned from my third holiday at Butlins in Skegness, I thought I needed to explain just why my family keep going back and why we'll no doubt be going back in the future. Butlins is without doubt the most famous and original holiday park in the UK, with the Skegness site joined by parks in Minehead and Bognor Regis. For anybody who ...  Read the complete review

When I was small my family and I would often spend our summer holidays at the seaside here in the UK, often this was at an independent hotel, B&B or caravan park but occasionally we went to Butlins and I have many happy memories of those times. Now, many years later I find myself taking my holidays here in the UK again and so I've been back ...  Read the complete review

I've never visited the Minehead site, mainly as it was only 24 miles from Taunton (where I used to live) it felt too local, Minehead was little run-down and as until recently it didn't even have a beach. I've been to Skegness twice, and of the 2 Butlins sites I've visited in my mind this has to be the better one. Luckily, on the 3 ...  Read the complete review

I have just come back from a week in butlins skegness. We have a 2.5year old daughter and we thouroughly enjoyed our break away. We were worried at first because the break was so cheap we thought it would be rubbish but we couldnt have been more wrong. We booked a silver half board room(£295) - the room was immaculate, tastefully decorated, clean, ...  Read the complete review

I stayed at butlins skegness 2 years ago now with my husband and at the time 12 month old baby. The complex itself was very good, clean and lots for the younger ones to do. The accomodation was shocking though, it was pure filth, we stayed in standard accomodation but I at least expected it to be clean but we had to clean it before we slept as it ...  Read the complete review

We spent a memorable long weekend at the Sixties Soul Weekend Break at the Skegness Butlins in the Spring of 2000. It was brilliant. My best mate's brother-in-law, Steve, booked it over the internet and most of her family went - Steve, his wife, 2 kids and a friend, my mate and her hubby, one of her kids and his girlfriend, and me. Enough of us to ...  Read the complete review

I visit Skegness a lot, as my Gran owns a caravan on the Butlins site. I have been visiting since i was little, as it's a great place to visit for any age and somewhere you never get bored off. Also being next to the seaside, it's a great place to visit throughout. Butlins in Skegness is host too many facilities and event. This includes ...  Read the complete review

We have visited butlins skegness for the last two years. Both visits have been during the february half term. *The booking process* We paid for the holiday using tesco clubcard deals. This meant we had to book by phone and pay for the full brochure price. However the vouchers were treated as cash and we had no problem using ...  Read the complete review

Logistically, the Butlins camp in Skegness is the easiest to get to if you live anywhere north of London. The camp itself has not really been renovated since the company trimmed its camps from 6 to 3 and erected the hugely impressive Skyline pavilions at the remaining 3 camps in Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness, so that needs addressing fairly ...  Read the complete review

We went to Butlins Skegness over the christmas period and I must say it was the worse experience we have had at Butlins especially over christmas. We went to Centre Stage the night we got there 23/12/08 and we had to wear wrist bands which we all had but because they weren't round our wrists the security on the door (as if it was a night club in a ...  Read the complete review

We were lucky enough to get Butlins at Skegness as the location for our £9.50 sun holiday. I had high expectations having visited Minehead Butlins about 20 years earlier and loved every minuet of my time there. Arrival -------- Check in for standard accommodation was at 4pm. When you enter the grounds you are pointed ...  Read the complete review

12 of us have just been on my daughters hen party we booked in the standard accom didn't expect too much but what we got was disgusting. i wouldn,t even leave a dog in it. the appartment was filthy, stickey carpets,mouldy shower curtains black mould all round the bath room it still had previous occupants dirty socks and used toothbrush. you couldnt sit on the mouldy damp sofa and the kitchen was covered in burnt stains. as for the beds they all tilted down towards the wall holes in the sheets and human hair in nearly all beds. and the dust was at least inch thick everywhere. we complained and were moved up a standard what a difference, ??for the price they charge cant see why they cant upgrade the accom as for the camp loads of entertainment close to beach shame about accomomdation. clean it. or loose it.

All i can say is for all of you who say you rarely seen any red coats and that they were unhappy my holiday was completly the oppisite the main thing i loved about it was the red coats (especially Bobby his dancing is so funny i love it) they were all so happy and friendly i went to the reds every night until closing time.
I wish i never left i wanted to add a few more days to my holiday but it was already fully booked.

Can't wait to go back next year.
