Sun newspaper holidays

[Wrenniecat1970]

Thinking of doing this offer with my 13 year old and 10 year old. Any experiances/ advice? Had a few negative comments from people who have never been. I think they may be being a bit snobbish so thought I would seek a more informed opinion. All I really want is clean accommodation.

They're great if you pick the right park. Church farm near Chichester is lovely. The one in Hastings was horrible - dirty, over-crowded and saw loads of young lads in the bar with tags on .

Mind you this was a few years back, might be diff now.

If all you want is clan accommodation choose your park carefully and read the reviews in tripadvisor to avoid grubby places.
My friend goes on and them and has had some great times, some less good times. By time you add on cost of entertainment pass etc it can mount up.

Thanks for your comments. Really helpful.

My sil did one but it ended up costing a fortune by the time they added all the extras on and they didn't like it anyway.

We've been to several and always had a lovely time. I read reviews on trip advisor first and don't always book the most basic caravan depending on the time of year. They do end up costing nearer £150 for 4 by the time you add up entertainment passes, electric and linen (though you can take your own).

I went last year. Did a 'girly' break with three other women in their thirties. I'd say great, but obviously basic. Agree with PP that you have to factor in the entertainment pass (if relevant).

I have a couple years ago, really good a little caravan place down in Devon/Cornwall. You have to pay £15 for bed linen. But we had a great view and were right on the beach.

Ooo. Sounds lovely Mrs TT. Thanks for the confidence boost. Want to give it a go as i Can't bring my self to pay 1500 pounds for a week at Devon Cliffs.... what if it rains all Week ( again ).
