There was so much for the grandson to do during the day and the evening shows were of a high standard - the feature acts and the butlins singers and dancers were all fabulous. Swimming pool unbelievable , everything done to the Covid standards and more , you are given a hour and half slot and you had to leave in that time , again to be deep cleaned. The pool - None of the jacuzzis worked outside or inside during our stay the wave pool no longer works and the blue slide only opened for two out of our four days! After having our holiday abroad cancelled we decided on something in the UK, we saw Butlins had excellent prices for 3 adults and we decided to go for it, and we're glad we did. The shows have all been good even if you haven't booked we had no issues getting onto them even the most popular like the skyline gang ones we always managed to get in. The best shows for us were teddy goes to the zoo and the skyline gang ones, milkshake was ok show and teletubbies party was ok for what it was.

Social distantancing hasn't been too bad either minus children but you can't blame them for that everything been so well organised it's felt completely safe and comfortable not felt busy at all. The lounge area was comfortable with leather settees and had patio doors opening to a grassy area, which our grandson loved.I’ve been to Butlin’s probably for the last 7 years and it’s got worse over the years, and more expensive with very little free. Having to pay for WiFi is daft most trains and buses provide free unlimited WiFi yet Butlin’s expect you to pay, again so they can get more money out of you. I’ve unlimited data on my phone but for some reason there is very little signal whilst your staying in Butlin’s so they really do have you over a barrel with the WiFi. All of the staff we encountered at the resort were brilliant, they were so friendly and helpful and seemed to genuinely care about the experience of the guests. Once a show has finished you HAD to leave the venue to which the whole venue was then sanitised throughout for the next show.

Brilliant from start to finish , just like we did before Covid, everywhere you went there was sanitising stations and masks must be worn everywhere under cover but not in fresh air situations. We paid for premium dining which we really enjoyed. Plenty of choice of everything including fresh fruit. I hope that in the future they will consider adding more vegan options and marking their dishes as to what allergens they contain as I feel they're a bit behind the times with this. The staff were very helpful and friendly. One night there was not much choice for my pescatarian son so they cooked him some fish fingers which was great. It would be nice to see vegetarian/vegan burgers offered on the live cooking stations. Swimming pool was great, we did manage to book that through the app before we went and it’s so much better when you have to book a slot. The lifeguards were all amazing, giving my kids tips on how to swim better, they were all really friendly and the pool area and changing rooms were immaculate.

The pool was great. My children loved the small slides and my eldest loved the flumes and rapids. We spent hours in there. The changing rooms were disgusting but the pool was good. There are one way systems all over Butlins, sanitiser everywhere and masks are encouraged to be worn so it’s all managed very well.
