My three holidays at Butlins have been the best I have ever had. (I am now 40) The whole experience is simply relaxing. As my mother said after our last holiday in June, it is like another world where all the worrying is done for you.

In 1989 - rollerskating, the cinema, tramplining, the skyhigh railway, boating on the lake - all this was free.
Now you pay for most of the entertainment during the daytime and this year there were more gambling machines than ever as these now fill part of the skyline arena.
In 1989 - there were two big venues open at night to entertain families. now there is only one for families and the other - reds - is more for older entertainment,
It all became very boring very quickly.
I think this was ...

I was surprised at the price for a 4 night stay £600 pounds at Butlins, Minehead self catering. I went with holidays in the sun and now realise what a good offer this is compared to the normal price which equates to all inclusive holidays abroad.

Most people who have never been to Butlins assume that it is a destination only for children, but this I have to say is not true. There are venues on site where only adults are allowed such as Jacks which is a night club, the Irish bar and Reds where you can see blue stand up comedy and the like. The beach and town centre of Minehead is only a short walk away, and you are free to leave the Butlins site for a few hours in order to explore the area.
Overall, I would recommend Butlins, Minehead t ...

I am a premier club customer, I have been going twice a year since 1990. I have always enjoyed the holidays and it has changed so much for the better since I first began going. My children always loved the entertainment and still do 18 years on. I think the only fault with Butlins are the prices and the chalets. Everything used to be free on the site however there are more things that have been added which you have to pay for. For a child to have there face painted the price is £2.50 if y ...

The accommodation blighted the holiday - it is the main thing I remember. I know the entertainment was very good and my tot had a brilliant time, but the stress from lack of sleep due to the bed and the noise over-rode everything else.
Maybe Butlins should think about having accommodation for parents with small children in quieter areas away from the main facilities - while Gold Standard had the benefit of being close to the Skyline pavilion. When you are kept awake until 2-3am and your child ...

There is plenty to do for the children i.e play areas, free funfair, swimming pool and beach right on the doorstep. Accommodation is appalling. We booked to go in standard when we arrived we drove to car park which is miles from apartment arriving at 9.30pm with 3 children this was not much fun!! Once we stepped in I wanted to step right back out it smelled of smoke and was very shabby the sofa looked like it has seen its last days carpet was worn in places etc. There was no way I was staying in ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our break at Butlins having stayed in a private luxury caravan on the caravan site there by the lake. There was lots of wildlife around and the park was clean and tidy. Always plenty to do and meals out were surprisingly good value and food in the Sun and Moon pub was excellent even though it was packed in there due to some big football matches being shown.
Titan was amazing and I think I enjoyed this more than the kids! Queues for water rides in the swimming pool were very ...

Just returned from the easter break weather was bad but the room was very warm and comfortable. This was my first stay at Butlins and I must say I really enjoyed it. The entertainment was first class all the staff are very friendly. After reading other reviews I wondered what I had let me and the family in for but I found it very enjoyable will go back .

Stayed in Silver standard 3 bedroom accommodation for adults only 80's weekend - All rooms where tidy and clean and up to date although no towels was poor and pillows where very poor but all round can't really knock the place.
Plenty to do and lots of fun to be had but a long weekend is probably plenty of time to have to fun.
Site was clean and tidy

Shabbly accomodation at Butlins in Minehead, though reasonably clean. Absolutely no security or control around accomodation it seems. We ended up with stinking colds this week as were were shattered after a weekend with no sleep. People shouting and screaming at all hours and people with seemingly no standards of behaviour allowing their kids to shout and scream , and even kick football at the window when playing outside upstairs in the flat we were in (yes kicking a football on an upstairs w ...

My wife and I went to a Butlins Holiday Park 11 years ago in standard accomodation, it was bad but cheap, fair enough.
We went for a 4 day midweek break from the 8th oct 2007. We booked Gold apartment with breakfast and evening meal, costing £340, as we knew standard was bad. What a shock! Gold was worse! In the accomodation, the once red carpet and sofas were sticky and very dirty with ground in grime, the kitchenette and shower room was the same, our 18 month old daughter has never go ...

We went to Butlins Minehead for the first time in May 07, having stayed at various places over the years such as Centre Parcs (the creme a la creme!), British Holidays (a bit grotty but ok) and Haven Holidays (excellent for kids, but I would eat off site!).
Butlins seemed to me to be the grotty end of the market and I was shocked by the smoking - everywhere! - as in Wales the smoking ban had already been introduced, before England.
The enertainment was limited, organised events involved lo ...

We went to butlins in minehead. We will never go there again.
Great for entertainment if you dont mind queuing, Very expensive on most things (ie drinks, food ect), Very little for under 5s to do unless you want to spend a fortune in the arcade.
We had a four day break in from oct 3 - oct 7 2007 in standered self catering ground floor apartment. We paid an extra £10 so we got ground floor because we had four children in our group under 5.
The accomodation was what we were after, b ...
