Thanks for that Peter. It took a while wading through the small print etc. but I have managed to secure a 3 night break over the Aldershot weekend. Needless to say with all the add ons the £10 a person has become £37, but hey it's a good deal anyway as they have promised to stock up the fridge! I shall sImply get prepared for all the sales speel as to why I should buy a caravan!!

B.T.W. I enjoyed reading the Plymouth Herald

The link's been zapped.

Could be a bit lonely then

As this was booked through an agent I shall be ringing Haven direct as I now smell a rather large RAT. Peter I hold you responsible if it goes tits up!

[Plain Peter]

Found it again. Hope it works!

Mark - which one are you and Mary staying at for the Aldershot game?

[Ntini]

I looked at one of these. The price said £15ea for 2 people on the one's i looked at, with a big 'Book Now' button next to it. But when I pressed that button, the next page revealed that the price had mysteriously risen to £65!!!

I know it said there was a booking fee, but that was of £2, so where did the other £33 come from???

Maybe the button should have read 'Magical Calculator'...

[Plain Peter]

The details are down the left-hand side of the opening page.
Based on 4 people, 4 x £15 = £60
Booking Fee = £2
Don't know where the other £3 comes from.

There'll also be a service charge to be paid direct to the holiday park.
So I reckon the botton line total for what you looked at will be around £78.
Not bad in my book.

Got my bill for add-ons from the Holiday Park (Haven) this morning:

(1) Entertainment passes x 4 - £36
(2) Daily utility charge 4 x £6.50) - £26
(3) Linen Charge - £14

On the Terms & Conditions (1) and (3) and optional.
But the bill I got this morning never mentioned optional, and they asked for the full wack of £76!
No chance. I've deducted £50.
Total cost of holiday - £86 + £2 booking fee.

You're a cheapskate in Standard

You have just shot yourself in the foot because ours is a Luxury Plus!!

That'll be £18 and 2 foot wider than yours

Shall look forward to the bill dropping through the letter box

The Haven bill has arrived as expected although the surprise add on is a $19.50p Power Charge!!

Thanks for this cheap weekend Peter!

Anyone that is coming down to the area is welcome to use our power supply!

[outsider]

Peter just a tip, with Haven you need the ents passes to use any of the stuff on camp, ie pools bars etc, I went to Primrose Vally last sumer with the kids, thought i could save a few bob and got some from ebay, but they were the wrong ones for that week, diff pics on them each week, so ended up paying twice, that was high season tho so gestapo might not be so enforcing when you go

Are you really staying in Hastings for an away game at Aldershot?
You'd have been welcome to come and stay with me and Doris.

We're staying at Burnham-on-Sea.
Stayed before, the sea-front and town centre are only a 5 minute walk.
We won't be using any of the onsite facilities, just get a carry-out if we need to.
Thanks for the tip though.

I have got them down to 2 entertainment passes = £16.90 (can take 2 extra people if we wish)

Even tho the original terms & conditions say "gas & Electric included" they still want a "power charge" as you need pipes and wires to receive the free gas and electric!!

Linen as you say is £14 but you don't have to pay this if you take your own.

Total cost for our "Holidays from £10 p.p.p.n."

= £120 for our Luxury plus model! (for 3 nights on a Haven is still good value)

The entertainment passes are actually well worth the money for the entertainment, bar, swimming pool etc. If you are quite happy looking at the walls within your tin trailer you will be fine Peter!

If we come back with 3 points that is $40 a point. I think that is a real bargain!

Wakey Wakey - T&C's say that 'service charge' of at least £3.50 per night per unit includes gas and electric.

Outdoor swimming pool in October! Not even in Zummerzet would I consider that
Entertainment? I used to be in the Diplomatic Corps, and used to international caberet tha' knows. I'll stick to spying on't locals in Wetherspoons on Burnham prom

£88 all-in - 4 nights.
Not even Parceldave can put a package together like that
