    Going on holiday with a bunch of Sun readers sounds like a catch to me.
    I love horses, best of all the animals. I love horses, they're my friends.

    Went on a few a couple of years back
    were ok for the money think we had to pay extra for bedding etc on them but no hidden catches as far as I can remember
    Good value for money, cheap and cheerful holiday

    We went a few years and I can't remember there being any hidden costs.

    Book early if you can because the best resorts tend to go quickly.

    We ended up going to Devon at the end of March and it p*****d down the entire weekend.

    Been on a few (mother-in-law collects tokens). You usually have to pay for bedding, entertainment passes and elec. the last one we went on cost less than £100 for me, wife and 2 kids all in.

    We ended up at Pontins Prestatyn...it cost £38 and I very nearly asked for my money back :lol: It was like an Eastern-Bloc prison :? When we looked into upgrading Pontins wanted £70 for a slighly less sh!t "cell".We declined and grin&beared it :roll:
    I think it's been done up recently though.
    Went to Rhyl....won't go again :lol:

    I might not be going now anyway as I posted it all off on Friday and one of the girls who works for me found the cheque that was supposed to go with it on the floor of the office earlier. Doh!

    Just waiting to hear back from them.

    What the hell do you expect for £38?!

    Like everything, in the tourism industry you get what you pay for. If you pay £38 for a holiday you'd be a fool not to expect the worst. Holiday parks have bills to pay you know.

    Why are the estate agents selling holidays? :wink:
  • That's true... Travel agents maybe?

    Could probably buy a house for £12 in Prestatyn though!
  • no drawbacks as long as you go to one of the camps that has lots to do nearby and you carry a set of earplugs to get to sleep at night. Otherwise it's a 1970's style cabaret hell with candidates for social services protection orders running around.
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.
