Butlins Review

Would have been 5 stars but areas are looking tired and dated ,fun fair old and dated outside toilets stuck in the 90s, accomodation dated and worn out food drink and entertainment superb

Ideal for families with children. Lots of entertainment & things for them to do during day as well as night times. Swimming is free for everyone, and under 8's have free rides.

Lovely place to come for long weekend, especially if you have a large age range of guests is: 4 to 75. Plenty to keep everyone entertained. Very clean and staff very friend my.

Grandkids love Bonfire Night love to Great pool as well

All ways have great fun here with the grandkids,Biggest down fall is lack of venue spaces for family especially in peak season when the caravans are fully booked also,queueing starts a good 2hrs before doors open,we do have to pay for the upstairs band as the two grandchildren have special needs but this still doesn't guarantee a seat with proper view of stage,The grounds are always clean and well maintained and the interaction between staff when walking around is always great and friendly....Please Please sort the evening entertainment.

I really love butlins. It's like u in another world. Perfect to relax and ideal for kids.

Bit disappointed with the acts this year. Not up to the usual high standard.

expensive now family holidays long gone but if you got the cash to splash please do

Could of been better it's getting very run down. The room was nice though

Brilliant holiday, really friendly and helpful staff, lots to do and great food.
Awesome swimming pool and great beach access.

Brilliant place food and staff top notch, true in some places it's looking a bit tired but all in all recommended.

Accommodation was fantastic.
Food was varied and very good.
ALL staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Granddaughter got to meet the Teletubbies! Thanks Guys!

Butlins, good music and lots of OK food, thankfully out of season and no kids - must be hell on earth in high season. I'm a grumpy old man with kids grown up. Must be paradise for families during summer!

I really enjoyed good entertainment, friendly people, plenty to do, fantastic fair ground and good food!

Been twice with children staff are great,resort is clean when birds aren't pooing everywhere. Beach is a short walk from resort. Food is good couldnt complain really

Needs a few improvements food was samey everyday nearly but staff were very friendly and helpful my daughters loved it

Yearly family trip for us it has everything a couple of adults and toddlers could want

Nice resort for the family, few rides but still got amusement Lovely Apartment too...

Really enjoyed it, great going swimming as much as we wanted and beach was great

Went for Tots Trip with a 3y and 17m. Great rides for the kids, swimming pool was fab and clean, entertainment put on was good, Red coats were really friendly, entertainers were great with kids between shows. Accommodation was clean, recently refurbished. We stayed in Fairground apt 131. Really nit picking but knife could do with sharpening and hob was difficult to operate as touch function as opposed to knobs. Not many places served lunch so be prepared to eat in the apts. Recommend eating at the Firehouse (like Nandos), avoid the pub opposite (beachcomber, or something like that) food was overcooked, lukewarm on arrival, some of order missing and the other group we were with didn't receive their order for about 20mins after us. Staff seemed more interested in singing the Disney soundtrack on the stereo rather than actually being attentive to customers.
Never been to Butlin before but would definitely return for another Tots week

absolutely fantastic break away over new year ..the little one really enjoyed it and the atmosphere was fab.

I'm so very impressed by the accommodation really enjoyed my holiday

Queues too long for events. Sent us home with suspected tummy bug without medical expertise. Kids were upset! Disgraceful. No bug either!

This place is a dump needs a lot of money throwing at it stayed here for a dance comp. Next time I'm down here I'll stay in a hotel and walk to comp each day.

A great fun place for families of all ages. Lots of shows, entertainment and fun things to do. If you book accommodation packages lots of things are included in the price. My advice is to choose the dining packages as well as they're great value.

Butlins have made a massive change around. Before they used to charge you for everything, now they don't. Loads of things to do, great food selection, and amazing staff! Even the cleaners were great, they taught my son how to shape towels into many different animals. I will be going back here, and would recommend others to go aswell!

The modern Butlins is a far different place these days. We stayed in a Seaside apartment which was really clean and comfortable and a perfect base for access to the many entertainments on offer.

Really impressed, I've been to other holiday parks which felt more like concentration camps. This is clean, well maintained with loads to do for the kids.

We took our 2yr old and my sister has a 3yr old. Both families loved it. The girls had plenty to do and the prices weren't as expensive on site as I expected. Things we loved: every member of staff we came into contact with was friendly whether they were part of the entertainment team or the guy cutting the grass, they were all good with kids. The fairground rides are fantastic because the kids are well strapped in and you can go on some of the bigger rides with them. Butlin's is clearly set up for families and they do it well.

Great holiday with very helpful staff and good entertainment

dirty apartment, doors didn't comply to fire regs and didn't close properly , metal steps up to apartments were loose and very slippy

Very nice. Like the gold food package where you can get what you want and kids can try different things

Brilliant few days away, cost more than I hoped as my children are older now so need more entertainment than the younger children, but as advertised something for everyone

Amazing place we are from the US and visited family in Skeg during Christmas. We went to Butlins on our last day there and the kids loved it!! Wonderful place to make amazing memories!

Lively entertainment at night; food is mediocre at best.

We had worse holiday from start to finish and from now on taking a wide birth felt like a prison and customer service was ridiculous

Fab 80's weekend, just disappointed that the fun fair wasn't open.

Visited for the Toddler event and found it excellent value (the booking). Food is overpriced but that is the price you pay for convenience.

A great place for all the family to get away and enjoy plenty of activities. Loads to keep the kids amused, with entertainment, funfair, activities and arcades. Adults can relax at the bar or at one of the places to eat. We certainly will consider returning.

Butlins is a great place to stay with family. They have entertainment all day and activities to keep you busy e.g the swimming pool, which is my favorite bit especially the vortex and if swimming isn't your thing don't worry they have a fairground with a range of rides etc.

70's night is an outrageous experience. The group Souled Out was great. Loads of special guests.

Brilliant time with the family. Love the entertainment and the setting. Fantastic for all ages.

Brilliant family resort definitely be back next year

Lovely staff especially pool staff

Very very helpful from the

It's a great place to come with family and friends for a fun weekend break

Fantastic place for my children we all always have a great time. The pool is particularily good and both my children love the shows.

It is a very large complex which is very clean. The music has been great and varied with different venues to choose from. The complex itself has quite a lot of options for families, couples or individuals from the pool, gym, golf etc

An interesting places for holidays and to have a good time

Great holiday...just couldn't get into swimming every day like we usually can only got to go twice.

Lots of activities to do, plenty of shows to see kids kept busy. Lovely apartments to stay in but rock hard beds only thing that let it down.

We enjoy Butlins we loved the new discovery animal part with a tad small, super hot and crowded but overall great!

So much for the children and families to do. Great entertainment, leisure activities and a brilliant Swimming pool

So much to do for the kids. Much better value than Centre Parcs. Accommodation great, we wanted security chains putting on the front door to stop kids opening it, they were fitted within 10mins of me asking! Spa lovely too!

Enjoy Butlins skegness good 60 sixty weekend some good group and some bad ones but overall I enjoyed it thanks

Always have a great time here!
Loads of brilliant shows and entertainment for the kids, staff are always friendly and helpful, and accommodation is always clean and comfortable!

There is literally something for everyone. The beach is beautiful and not too busy. Food outlets and restaurants are a bit expensive, but you can go self catering to keep costs down.

Butlin's Skegness is a great place to visit and stay overnight because of the free (mostly) fairground and excellent room quality and cleanliness, however the only set back for me though is the price of the food but there is a variety of pubs and restaurants in walking distance to butlin's so overall you can't really go wrong here :) hope that this helps

Great place for everyone, generation thing for me, you have to take the kiddies at least once, however this is our 2nd time and we should be back again next year

Nice day out. But was dissapointed about having to pay for private rides on the grounds when we had already paid for a days pass. Bar was also too exspensice. Would have given more stars if it wasn't for that!!
