Butlins Skegness is cheap and cheerful. You really do get what you pay for. We usually go gold with premium dining and find this very good value for money. Don't expect perfect surroundings, accomodation is basic but fine and clean, although a little tired outside. Entertainment is excellent and if you plan activities when you arrive and book in advance... More

We love Butlins, having been coming to Skegness for many years whilst our family were growing up.The food & accommodation are great value but the only gripe is that not all holidaymakers want to be constantly surrounded by screaming children & loud music. There should be an adult only area where you can just sit & enjoy a drink /... More

Was very run down in my opinion and needed some TLC, looked very dated from the outside and the fair was awful, nothing for a 10yr old to do. Food was awful, chips and more chips

We stayed in a silver room and took premium dining. The entertainment was fine however the whole place was dirty and smelled of urine. The room was unimpressive and the food was stodgy and disappointing. However, the nursery was excellent, the staff were lovely. Beach was also very nice. We won't be coming back though as it has went downhill... More

Butlins has really been brought up to date... dismiss the whole 'hi-de-hi' image because it's not like that at all.... I go several times a year because the entertainment and atmosphere is really great

In door pool was immaculate loads of life guards very safe for kids, the outdoor pool is being rebuilt. The weather was... More

We had an excellent holiday here, Monday to Friday. We paid £225 for the 3 of us (2 adults and 1 child) to stay in standard accommodation with food court dining. Before we left we looked at some reviews and they weren't very positive! I couldnt fault the place. Our accommodation was very clean and the food in our package... More
