Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sat 11-Jul-09 22:41:13
oh right thanks grin
haven't heard of parkdean before, but is probably the same parent company

if we book early we always get it half price, will have a look and see if it's on at the moment, also if you book on park for your next break before you go home it's usually 50% off and something like a free upgrade of accomadation.

We did our first haven hol as a sun newspaper one, then ever since have booked direct with Haven. smile

ooh when is the haven 50% sale and is haven the same as parkdean blush
Just wanted to say, usually works out cheaper to book direct with Haven when tey ae doing 50% off. Plus can choose your park and dates more specifically. We usually get a Mon-Fri break in nice big caravan for about £90.

Sun hols are from £9.50 per person then depending on parks you may have to pay entertainment charge, service charge, linen charge. . .

Primrose Valley very nice if looking for north east park. smile
needcoffee thank you, was hoping we would manage without as we prob wont bother with eve entertainment, oh well never mind will just have to sit in the bar to make most of the passes grin

Short answer is no, everyone will have a different no. I;ve booked my hol (I know you dont really want to hear that!) but on the confirmation there is a tel no of 0870 1253344. Prob hard to get thru but may be worth a try?

Hi,can anyone help? I've tried booking online but it keeps saying that my holiday pin is invalid. I'm definitely typing it in as it is shown on the letter but no joy. Is the reference number the same for everyone?
metatron-its only if you have a priority code that you can book online, it tells you on the letter where to book

Eddas-it quite often does open early, its annoying when you don't realise though, and you've missed all the good ones!

dyls-youneed a pass for everything, the pool, clubhouse, amusements
i've booked the daily mail holiday, do i need the pass to use the pool or is that just for the bars etc??
not quite sure why it was open early but thanks for posting, i've booked us a break in October half term. I wanted to book for Easted but it didn't let me but still October half term is greatsmile
Where can you book online? <thicko>
booking is now open online

words are
sale
line
four
year
sole
lyon
gray
beak

good luck
If you've got the codes you can now book online.
thanks to all who've posted codes, i'm so disorganised I keep forgetting to buy the bloomin paperblush <<rolls eyes at herself>>

Thanks for that Eddas. Does anyone have more than the first five codes for The Sun £9.50 Holiday offer as I have seen them posted on here before now before they appear in the papers. With many thanks
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Tue 07-Jul-09 13:12:21
Is it too late to start today?? When do the tokens finish?? Thanks!
scottiedog I think they're booking the Daily Mail ones smile

Does anyone have the words so far? I've not been able to get any papers as I have been without a car. I do have sundays NOTW and there's a bonus token in that. I'll post the code later. I'd be very grateful if anyone can post the codessmile I will make sure I buy tomorrows paper and post the code on here
Just come back from a Sun holiday in Woolacombe - had a great time despite crap weather. Not my usual sort of holiday, I'm a Guardian reader lol! Never normally do caravans and clubs at all, but for £90 all in for 3 nights you can't complain. caravan was cramped but clean and as someone said you just use it as a base (bit too much of a base as it pissed down all weekend but there you go). Will definitely do it again next summer!

Hi folks. I have a priority booking reference number and am collecting the codes but how come some of you have already managed to book your holidays? I would love to know so I could book somewhere nice for my kids. Thanks a lot.

Does anyone have the codes on the tokens so far from the Sun and NotW?
No probs! we're off to Tenby.
Thank you James! Just booked Porthmadog for Oct half term - I can show ds all the places I played when I was little and go and pay my respects at family graves (this is not morbid, honest, beautiful graveyard and happy memories). smile

has anyone been on one of these b4 - im new to this - i realise now its extra for passes - do i need these just to use the pool and not the 'entertainment' and what grade of caravan do you get?

Greenacres is lovely if North Wales isn't too far.
Does anyone have a recommendation for one of these resorts in the middle/northish end of the country pretty please? Would love to book one but have no idea which are good or bad!
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sun 05-Jul-09 08:26:16
Wow - just did it! A weekend in Greenacres for £40!! We went there a few years ago and it's lovely - right on the beach! grin

Thanks Jamesandthegiantbanana - will be a lovely weekend at the end of the summer holiday! smile

i just got them to work and booked a weekend beginning sept for £60 - thanks am v pleased though a little concerned about what rating of caravan we will end up in as it never said - will it be the ones the dogs are allowed to dump in?
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sat 04-Jul-09 16:12:57
I can't get the Mail codes to work either?
Is anyone else having trouble with the evening mail holiday?

Got very excited at getting the weekend and location I wanted but it won't let me get past the log-in details! Have entered name and details but keeps bumping me back without telling me what I've done wrong sad.
Thanks for posting that James, I think I'm gonna book one from there toosmile
The one we went on last week was Pontins, not the best of places but I had to be in the area for something so I thought we may as well. The ones I've managed to book this time are both Haven, gone for the 'luxury' caravan and managed to get Weymouth too which i've never got before. No more searching for mini breaks hoorah.
Thanks for that James, saves alot of time smile. I have managed to book 2 breaks. One for Sept 4th and 1 for Oct 23rd yay. I went on a breakfree weekend last weekend too. 3 nights is just enough at these places I think and dd has a fab time. Thanks again smile
The daily mail one (caravans from £40-£60, 90 parks throughout UK, both Park Resorts and Haven) is also bookable now. In fact I have the codes here if anybody is interested?:

SUMMER
FAMILY
CARAVAN
FUN
BEACH
HOLIDAY
SWIM

Book here

We've done these a few times and are thinking of one for October half term. They're great value, although the other guests can be a bit (cant quite think how to put it!). I sat in the 'show bar' once cleaning the tab le with wipes and think that I felt like the posh woman in 'Benidorm'. However the kids love it (aged 10 & 7) and the caravans are usually really nice. You can just use it as a base, you dont have to join in!
yep and all the sun holiday guests have to wear special hats so everyone knows winkgrin
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 17:27:44
do you have to hang around with loads of sun readers wink?
korma pretty much yes! The paper with the form in will tell you how to do it.

It's for holidays in the autumn so basically Sept-Nov 09

no idea about Spain, i've only ever done a uk one
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 14:23:36
Has anyone been to Spain on a sun holiday? if so what prices for travel? Tia
thanks eddas so i just one copy of the sun everyday for 8 days, one of which must have the booking form in ?

simples
When will this lot of holidays be for?
Yep just buy the paper, you'll need to buy 8 as you need 8 tokens(must be different days) one of the papers will have the form in and a list of the parks(I think the form's normally in tuedays's paper, definately not in the first one like i'd expected when I first did it!), then once you have them all together you just post the form off with your cheque.
how does this work please ?
do you just but a copy of the paper ?
I had my form in the post todaysmile
