Butlins Skegness is a great family holiday that offers something for children or all ages. There is entertainment for tots and grown ups alike.
The accommodation varies in style and grade, from a basic "traditional" two bedroom chalet which offeres two bedrooms and a basic bathroom (shower, sink and toilet) but no living area up to "gold" apartments which offers living areas, kitchens with cooker, fridge, microwave and even a dishwasher, and a daily maid service. There is little difference between gold and silver accommodation, and to be fair in general all the accommodation is looking a little tired. Apart from the new "seaside" apartments which have been newly updated, to offer balconies and a more modern feel. If you book one of these you may be disappointed to find that its not as "seaside" as you may think.
There are catering options to suit varying pallete and budget. But if you decide to go self catering the on site offerings can feel a little limited. That said, there is a large Tesco, Lidl and Morrison supermarket in Skegness (5 mins by car).
The pool offers varying aquatic fun, in the form a slides and has a dedicated todler/baby pool. There is currently little in the way of poolside catering (drinks, crisps, ice cream).
The changing rooms offer family sized cubicles as well as many disabled facilities.
It can get very busy. Check out the time table for late night fun.
