[hadabadday]

Has anyone been to Bultins lateley?

Good? Bad? Ugly?

good for kids.

i went last week, to Minehead.

LOVED it. the kids had a great time (5,5,&2). we spent quite alot of money there (for 4 nights) but such a great time. we went all inclusive-fod good, typical english choice iyswim? lots of activities, free things to do, swimming pool fab, etc.

Am going back at Xmas for 'Winter Wonderland', the kids liked it so much!

anything else you want to know?

ohh was just about to post this, have just been looking to book Skegness next year as it seems really cheap.

i been to all the camps and my kids love it they 1 and 2 must say skegness is my fave
think i have a brill time cus the kids love it

oo we're going to Bognor in 5 weeks! Never been before though so can't help! Apparantly (according to rellies) dd(3.2) will love it We'll see!

Eddas have a good time

softmusk thats what we think, as long as the little fishes are happy then we will be. They will be 16m,2.5yrs and 4.5yrs when we go so it seems ideal spot for them. We are going to book Gold in Skegness with DB+B so should be relaxing.

I love it! Have been twice - without kids!!

Minehead was good, prefered skeggy! (Spa at skeggy is awesome if you can get DH to babysit)

ooh tell me more about minehead please. i just agev in to the kids and booked for october. the kid went to biognor one with my mum alst year and loved it, but dh and i have enver been site fans so am apprehensive about it. but think the kids will be in 7th heaven at all the rides etc.

minehead is ok, its been 4yrs since i was there though!

did prefer skeggy, but i think its all about what you do, it was my first time away with my now DH - no kids, so cant really comment on what was there for kids, except the kids disco each evening - hillarious!!!

Nemo2007 we found gold great my kids want there bed by 7pm so the free dvd rental thing was really good for us

found the dinner room great the extra foods u get great and there a little play area kids can play in while u chill over a cupp;a after diiner

We were at Minehead last week, stayed in a Silver Plus bungalow (self catering). It was clean and we had plenty of room, but the plaster was coming off the walls in places.
We didn't cook as often as I thought, so spent loads on eating out, so maybe half board would have been the better option.
The kids LOVED it - they are 7,5 and nearly 3. They liked the Milkshake show, the Skyline Gang shows. the swimming pool and Bob the Builder's yard best.
It wouldn't be mine and DH's number 1 holiday destination, but the kids loved it and were never bored. In fact we all came home exhausted
