Butlin's Skegness 4+

Thank you for our break

I honestly thought it was going to be another summer at home. I went on the butlins website by chance and I thought there was an error when I saw the prices. Things have gone from bad to worse since covid financially and I was getting run down with it all. Winter is only around the corner and I am fully expecting more price rises and bad weather. I was getting down. I’ve been able to bring my two younger children away for a much needed break. I am very grateful. We aren’t the most outgoing family so haven’t used up all the activities but there has been plenty to do and the weather has been incredible. Someone has definitely looked over me and the children the last week.
I am aware there is some bad press at the moment with norovirus and my anxiety has been extremely high but I felt we should take a chance. Fingers crossed we will be okay. I will update on this later but for now thank you Butlins.

Review

We’ve been very happy at Butlins as usual.

However I’m not at all happy with your new policy coming out from Jan 25. This is to not allow single people to book.
I have been coming to Butlins since I was 17. I am now 63. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. Butlins is my happy place. I love the vibe, mixing with families and I feel very safe.
I understand the health & safety aspect but when you have been coming for so many years, you will be on record.

If I loose my husband who is 17 years older than me, it upsets me so much to think that Butlins will become the end of an era. Why should I not still be able to enjoy what time I have got left in my happy place.

I spend a lot of money in Butlins and book premium dining, I am not after just a cheap room.

Adult Weekends would not be my scene unfortunately but this policy saddens me so much and it seems like you are discriminating single/widowed people.

I’ve brought my own son up at Butlins but now he is grown up.

I always feel better at Butlins because I know exactly the routine and enjoy the shows day and night.

I’m sure I’m not the only one to raise this issue but I urge you to review your policy
