I want to have a short break with just me and DS (aged 4) before he starts school. I noticed that Butlins have some good deals on first week in September...but....
Is Butlins (Skegness) ok? I'm a bit of a snob used to quite high standards...
Feel [embarrassed] to ask this really!!!

Well....I'm afraid I've changed my mind now....there were too many negative reviews!
I've booked Centre Parcs instead

Hi there
As this isn't really an AIBU, we've moved it to the 'UK Travel' section.
Thanks

Didn't use the crèche. Not something I'd be keen to do as DS is quite clingy and it's only work if I did settling in sessions I think. If I dumped and ran I'm pretty sure they'd be on the phone asking me to collect him 
I admit do like centre parcs especially at 4 he be happy with pool and park , ( I do find Elverden better as is smaller )

It's ok but gold accommodation is a must IMO, avoid the canteens and eat in the bar and restaurants.
The kids love it and that is why you go in the first place isn't it?
