Butlins minehead

[roundthebend4]

ok has anyone been , ds has been so groggy and grotty while we languish in hotel Addenbrooks and he saw advert yesterday and got all excited ,I went and booked it last night with out thinking or checking it out from sn views

Were going in November half board in sliver apartment on ground floor , but when comes to shows etc is there any wheelchair spaces etc that can be reserved ,

Went just for the day yesterday..( we're doing days at a time so ds2 can cope).. So I don't know anything about the accommodation, however we fou d the staff very friendly and helpful.. I'd give them a call.

In the swimming pool I noticed a wheelchair for entry into the pool.. In the pool area and ready for use..
In the main tent bit there would be room to park a wheelchair for puppet shows no problem... It all very flat in the pavillion outside and outside from the carpark. No stairs or steps in the swimming pool and disabled changing just outside the family changing area ( family changing has disabled/ family on the doors but it was too small and I would avoid.. But the changing room just before that bit looks a good size.. Again staff were lovely).
The only issue we had was with staff being a bit over friendly with ds2 ( as/asc).

Ty good to know ds is shy at first but soon comes out,long as can get ds chair near enough can just hoik him in yet.he will bable away make no sense but will love puppets and sill slapstick humor

Ds2 ( actually a the dc's) really enjoyed it there.. Like I say we are doing day at a time, where ds2 can sleep at home. Never done butlins before but dh and I both have said we are going to book long weekends a few times a year for next year instead of a family holiday all in one go.. All of us found it a total break!

Just an add... The pool and pavillion was very noisy background and some sudden noises.. If this is an issue ear plugs would be my big reccommondation.

suddern noise might do make him jump but background is ok lol never though be an advanta ge to using signing.Fingers crossed might be bit quiter in November after half term

We did cp last year in november and that was fab but there was as not much free stuff for the younger 2 and aware we was very lucky with the weather so could least go for walks

Yes in the summer we do days out rather than big holidays or go camping

Mind figuring im going to need a holiday after this

So pleased that ds was awake enough to see the advert and get excited
Must have made you feel a bit better.
Butlins is great for children with sn and lots for your other dc to do.
We have been to skegness and bogner and enjoyed it,we are east of england so hav,nt made it to minehead yet,try not to do more than 4 hours journey with dd.

Hope hospital have sorted ds medication now.
And yes you must need a good holiday after being stuck in there.x

were in he south East but luckily ds likes the train
