Branners Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I am looking at booking a cheap family holiday in August. As always the prices are sky high for anything but I have found something that looks good in Skegness. Anybody been there for a family holiday? Is it like Blackpool but without the scousers (calm down, its a joke) or is it actually a really nice family resort which could do with a rename? Anything else nice in the area to go and see? Im a south coast kind of person, so its my first family holiday up north that isnt in the Lakes or Scotland. thanks JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 You have done well there its all based around price. Anywhere looks good if its not costing me £1000 for 7 days in a caravan. £400 is more my budget which sadly in august usually gets me a 2 day break in Southampton and a trip to London.

Branners Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 well doesnt sound too bad. Just looked up Bultins for the holiday period and its £900 for a week. The place Im looking at is Southview Leisure Park or RIchmond Holiday Centre. Both right near Skegness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 We stayed at the butlins last year. We had a really good time there, there's plenty to do with the kids. We would certainly go back. Just come back from Yarmouth yesterday, So skegy or blackpool next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
