Sun Holidays have been around for a whopping 27 years and money savers LOVE them because it promises a break for just £9.50.
Well… they aren’t quite £9.50 (there are PLENTY of add-ons), but you can bag yourself a seriously cheap holiday for a fraction of the price. In fact, my friend the brilliant Ashleigh Swan from Ashleigh Money Saver has just booked herself a Butlins holiday through Sun Holidays for £180 instead of £474 for her family.
It’s not just UK holidays (which they are famous for), but destinations also include France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Croatia).

How to book a Sun Holiday
So now you have the codes, don’t hang around because the best venues go quickly.
Choose your four favourite parks and four date preferences (the school bank holidays are by far the most popular).
Parks seriously vary in quality, so do your research on TripAdvisor so you know what you’re getting – and make sure you find out if there are and service charge costs so you don’t get a shock.
Booking opens Sunday, January 15th for previous bookers and Monday January 16th for new bookers.
Just input the above codes and you’ll find out if your chosen dates are available
You can book either a three-night weekend break or a four-night midweek break from just £9.50 a head.
This sounds a bit too good to be true
Sure, the basic cost is £9.50 for the three or four nights – but there are A LOT of extras which really add up, which means it is very unlikely you’ll every actually get a holiday for £9.50.
You always have to pay for AT LEAST four people, even if less of you are going – which is pretty annoying.
Also, a lot of the parks add a cheeky service charge (for cleaning, gas and electricity) on top which can add up to £60 to the total cost.
Have you been before or are going this year? Let me know! (I’m nosey!)
Up at 5:45 this morning: 3 nights at beginning of school summer hols for the 5 of us £126 (booked at 5:58) and then 4 nights in May half term, again for all 5 of us £94 (booked at 6:02). These are a couple of the cheaper parks, not chains, but we loved the one booked for July when we stayed there last July (Forest Glade in Devon) and can’t wait to try Anwoth in Scotland this May. Sun Holidays are simply brilliant value and I wish I’d not been put off them for years after a horror at Pontins in 2011, only trying them again last year.
Brilliant bargain! Now to find a cheap way to get to Scotland… ha!
Booked for probably Baltic Berwick in March, total cost with train tickets for 2 adults just under £100, booking for 4 nights direct through haven is at least £106 so with train tickets it would be £130, so that’s 30 quid in our pocket to spend . Booked via this offer last year so knew it was good but thanks for the reminder.
Woo! Have fun – I’m jealous.
Got 2 on Sunday. North Devon June and October @ £15 and £9.50pp . 4 day breaks. Also got Dover in April already booked. Bargains.
Nice one – I love Devon.
