Savvy dad bags bargain Butlins family holiday with £555 discount

A dad has shared how he got a family holiday away for a bargain.

With the summer holidays right round the corner, many will be planning a getaway with the kids and one dad has found a bargain at Butlins.

Posting on popular Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, Matthew wrote: "So Butlins (Minehead) has a huge discount on for June so I taken a look for myself and it was supposed to be £713 but now £158 that's a whopping £555 saving."

He shared that he had booked the Silver room that consists of three bedrooms - one double bed and two twin beds and a shower room.

You can see online it was originally priced at £713 for the dates June 13 to June 17 - but the discount brings it down to just £158.

We decided to check it out ourselves and it looks like the prices can fluctuate - so if you find a good deal, it's probably best to book it there and then.

The silver room we found was £110 down from £389.

The post gathered 1.3k likes with many impressed with the price, especially as the food at Butlins can be on the more expensive side, as one visitor mentioned.

They said: "We have just come back from Butlins at Minehead, it was utterly fantastic!!!! Shows were all free, majority of activities are free, there are some to pay for but it's not extortionate. Meals out are a little expensive, we are a family of 4, a meal out would cost around £55, drinks are expensive, I'd advise to take your own."

Another added: "Add the food court dining on. Definitely worth it."

One mum wrote: "Took my niece for a midweek break last month and paid £70! Absolute bargain, booked in again to go next year! She had the best time."

Although with the silver room is sounds like you're in charge of your own cleaning as one mum warned.

She commented: "I've just came back from Butlins Easter weekend. Was packed, I had silver room paid extra for fridge but was awful having to wash dishes in bathroom sink won't be having the silver suite next time."
