    absolutely brill cant fault the place loved the food and entertainment kids loved it cracking pool even skegness is bubbly and vibrant and reasonably priced if you are to visit you must try the beachcomber pub next to butlins it really rocks in there and does nice food and has a outside food van that stays open for as long as you are there butlins was as good as the brochure if not better

    me and my 6 year old son got back from a week at skegness butlins on 24/8/09. overall the holiday was fantastic. we stayed silver bed breakfast with meals. the food was great the entertainment was great the rooms were not brilliant but no worse than any other b&b i have stayed at. the one thing that let it down was the drinks. you expect to pay more but the lager cider and bitter on draught is FLAT. it is barely drinkable. a tip if you want to drink in the skyline pavillion dont go to the bar go ...

    Went to Butlins Skegness start of August 09. Stayed in Gold self catering.

    Gold check in is excellent we were only ones there although arrived what we thought would be busy time, very friendly. Apartment oh dear. The pretty pictures of the lit up gold apartment was not what we got. Outside was tired and windows filthy. Inside worse with tired decor, cigarette burns in furniture and carpets, not well cleaned. The wife politely complained and eventually got moved, to what I can only describe as a ...

    Bacicly i don't know how anyone could not like Butlins There just so much to do, the Master Blaster is great you go all around the pool and the Space Bowl where you spin in that bowl and you may land head first, or back first the best ever swimming pool anyone who thinks there are better pools should stick to there own and the entertainment at Butlins is the best ever anyone who thinks different has bad taste And theres a bonus if you go to Skegness there Fantasy Island 1 of the best ever theme ...

    Got back yesterday from a week at Butlins Skegness. Thirteen year old daughter enjoyed it. 11 month old son enjoyed it but, he wouldn't know any different. Stayed in Silver apartment with bed and breakfast. Chalet floor was absolutely filthy - in the end managed to get it wet vacced, after son had come out in a rash all over him. Housekeeping supposedly came in each day but seemed to choose one item that they'd do each day ie. one day they might empty the bin, another day put a glass away. Despi ...

    Butlins, Skegness, what an experience! Grandchildren loved it, at 6 and 7 years old it was exciting and fun. As grandparents we loathed it, good manners, civility, humour, everything that used to typify the great British way of life, gone and never more evident than here. Saw one show, Looney Tunes, which was ticket only, so managed to get 4 tickets. Not a chance of getting into Reds or Centre Stage. People queued for 4 hours and then others push in. Do not go thinking you will see any of the Br ...

    My 5 year old daughter have just returned from butlins skegness we stayed silver bed, breakfast and dinner. we had a fantastic time, the room was very clean the food was lovely and so much choice! the staff and red coats were really friendly and welcoming. On the second day my daughter and I were waiting to go into the swimming pool and she got stung by a wasp on her bottom lip, her lip started to swell, we went to guest services and they got us a 1st aider and as we didn't have transport at the ...

    This is the worst holiday i had ever been on. I hated the food.The Butlins staff shouted at me just because i wasnt out of the room when the lady came to clean it half way through my holiday.The beds are like twigs they keep poking you in the back. By now you probally are thinking that i was in a 1 star chalet but i was actually a five star guest living in a five star chalet.

    We have just come back from a 5 night break at Butlins Skegness. We stayed in Gold and it is now starting to look dated. The TV picture was bad and our view was of a brick wall! The entertainment was poor, no wrestling or decent shows. It cost £6.80 for a round of cokes at the bar, daylight robbery! We have been twice a year for the last 5 years and we will not be going back. People queued for shows for over 2.5 hours...sad people! The swimming pool changing rooms were filthy. Woul ...

    We have just come back from a 5 night break at Butlins Skegness. We stayed in Gold and the accommodation is now starting to look very dated...top of tap missing in the bathroom. No hot water twice and rubbish TV picture all week...reported both, water sorted but told that they are up-grading to digital TV so we had to put up with rubbish reception. To top it all the bathroom light stopped working at the end of the week...could'nt be bothered to report it again! Pool changing rooms and toilet ...

    We went last June, self catering, but I didnt want to cook this year so went this year Half Board in June and it was great, we stayed in a standard room, which was fine, we only paid 190 for the week, for 2 adults and one 5 year old it was great value! The food was excellent, fried breakfast every morning and my little one ate all of her tea! The entertainment was great, we had to queue to get into the evening entertainment, but only as I wanted to sit right at the front so I could see my little ...

    Butlins was the biggest waste of my time and paitience i have ever been unfortunate enough to suffer. i wouldn't even recomend it to my worst enemy. everywhere was packed and to actually see anything you had to get there 3-4 hours early.
    which doesnt leave you much option but to either go to the arcades (which was extortion, with less chance of winning than the lotto) or go to a resturant (with main courses that wouldn't feed a small child)
    to summerise: if you like to set fire to your money the ...

    We arrived on the 26th June and we travelled as a family of 5. 4 adults and 1 infant of 16 months. On self-catering Silver.

    The accommodation was clean, tidy, lots of dishes, pots and pans. But take a chopping board and a wooden spoon, then your set. It did feel damp but with our accom being next to the sea, it meant it took the full force of the sea mists which, unless butlins pay to put a de-humidifier in each apartment, which could end up pointless, its to be expected. You did get used ...

    butlins was one of the best holidays we have had our son was thee and he loved every minute, the chalet was lovely and clean. we found that with most activities included in the price and it was hard to spend your own money and took plenty of money home which is unusual for us. we went in sept 08 and our son didnt want to go abroad this year because he wanted to go butlins again. the weather rained all weekend which didnt matter because the was so much to do. the swimming centre is excelent and ...
