In a nutshell
The Skegness Butlins holiday park is "fab especially for older kids" offering an "energetic action-packed weekend." "The kids can go off and do their own thing while you do yours" and "there's loads to choose from - swimming, cinema, shows, soft play - all included in the price." The accomodation is "basic but clean and perfectly nice." And it all comes at an affordable price: "Butlins provided the perfect weekend away of a budget."
Mumsnet tip: "Discounted breaks are common and can be substantial, be sure to check around before you book."
