Guest's review of Butlins, Minehead

“What a Fantastic Break!”

★★★★★

written by on 22/10/2012

Having read some less than enthusiastic reviews (after having booked!) my husband and I, both in our late 70's, travelled in fear and apprehension. From the time we arrived, all staff were friendly and helpful. Our rooms and bed were spotlessly clean and comfortable, the food was very well prepared, plentiful and with loads of choice.
The site itself was well maintained and clean - not once did we see any rubbish lying around.
The entertainment looked inviting but we chose to take a walk after our evening meal then spend the rest of the evening quietly in our room. Unfortunately there was only one comfortable chair and a stool. We would have appreciated a second bucket chair.
On arrival, one of the heaters was not working. However, this was attended to within half an hour of reporting it.
A few more signposts would have been helpful as the plan, though clear, was not easy to see in the dark evenings and without reading glasses (for those of us who need them).
The thing that disturbed us most was the greed of some of the guests who piled their plates with food then left much of it on their plates. There was absolutely no need of this as everyone was free to return to the food stations in the food court as many times as they wished.
Having never been keen on the idea of a holiday at Butlins, we are now smitten and have already booked for next year!
THANK YOU BUTLINS!
