We really enjoyed our recent visit the shows were excellent and plenty to do. They would get 5 stars except for the fact that the reduced pool facilities on the arrival day and leaving. The Friday you are welcome to use facilities from 12 except nothing is open until at least 2pm then 3/4 of the pool is shut. Very disappointing.

Hi there, Thank you for your sharing your feedback. We are glad you had an enjoyable time on your Butlin's break and we will take your review on board. Hope to see you again soon!
Verry disappointment
Shambles
Visit
Overall good visit we had the premium food package which was excellent and we purchased the drinks package which was very good. Could do with a few golf buggy’s going around the park to pick people up and take them to the main area as we was quite far with a 5 year old and wasn’t allowed to hire a pushchair also think the reds club need re organising as needs a proper dance floor for everyone to dance on atmosphere in the club not as it used to be at butlins but lovely weekend enjoyed it.

We appreciate absolutely all feedback and will make sure that we pass yours around our Reds venue directly over to our Minehead team. Other than that, it sounds like you had a fantastic weekend!
Half term
Took grandchildren 11 and 8 for half term week as have done for last 9 years apart from Covid year. Had Gold apartment which was great. Premium dining and food was very good this year.
Building new Skypark and have taken golf out which was disappointing for the children
Shows are all in Studion 36 or Reds at the moment due to Centre Stage being refurbished. Kids enjoyed Stephen Mulhern and Electric Wonderland but some of the shows were boring for their age group at times
Fair - don’t know whether they have changed height rules as last year my grandson drive a go kart on his own yet this year he couldn’t and he’s a year older and definitely taller than last year so he was very disappointed at this
I have already booked for next year as the kids live it and still had a great time

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, sounds like you had a fab time and we can't wait to see you again next year!
Lack of spaces available
I was a little disappointed when I went to book a activity or show that there were no spaces left.
Also a bit disappointed that the fairground rides were not all available.

Lovely break away
I can’t fault Butlins. We love it. We had silver rooms which were very clean. The TV was tiny though. We did premium food dining. Couldn’t fault it.
Our boys 4 and 2 love it. There is so much for them to do.
It wasn’t very busy because of the flood damage. The swimming was pleasant normally it stresses me out. The only issue we have with the whole holiday. The changing rooms in the pool are not family friendly. The cubicles are not big enough for a family. They need a refurb

Short break
On arrival we eventually found our suite as the incorrect number was printed on our invoice,we were let in by cleaner early,to find settee stained phoned customer service and they sent a cleaner to rectify the next day,no problem,the food package was well worth the money as the food was exceptional choice and taste and plenty of places to choose from we found everything we did was enjoyable and plenty to do we did read reviews which we were sceptical but we were pleasantly surprised with staff helpfulness and cleanliness of the whole place,l must add it may be a different experience in the summer months as we went in September it was busy but not overcrowded,l would recommend it from our experiences but l wouldn’t take a lot of notice of the negative feedback as you cannot please everyone???one last thing the entertainment again was very professional and enjoyable(will be booking again)

Good but not great.
Great evening entertainment which could be easily booked via phone app. Premier dining was good but had to arrive early, otherwise very busy. Long queues for swimming…shame this wasn’t also bookable. Comfort Apartment nice but 8/10 for cleanliness. Shower was okay until other apartments started using the water.

Butlins Minehead
The app is good but could do with a few extra details for example- opening and closing times for each shop and bar, they all seem to open and shut at different times. Things which don’t need booking and also booked activities, it would be helpful if you could create an itinerary for your week with everything you want to do so you don’t miss anything. To be able to add or take things off your itinerary so you can plan your week. We missed a few shows due to not realising the time.

Can’t access the booking in the app
Allow guests to to register the booking number into the app.
No Wi-Fi
No Wi-Fi in the chalet so could not load the programs to tell us what was on we had to ask people
Minehead Half Term
Enjoying the atmosphere and the entertainment. Shame staff are not so welcoming. Being told we were lazy for ordering nuts to go with our drinks was too much!
Almost 5 stars
It’s awesome to be able to view the activities, as well as book them. You can view you booked upcoming activities in your wallet.. However, I would give 5 stars if these went to an itinerary where you could also save the non-bootable activities (the free to come along activities that you don’t need a booking for)
This would be super helpful for the holiday as you can then add everything you’re interested in on one page, in order of date and time. Including photo opportunities etc.
Now when I look at the activities page at the things I can’t save, I have to flit between the booked activities and the activity page to look at times etc.
I would love a reminder at least for when to go get pictures with my sons favourite characters.

My holiday at Butlins
I gave this 3 stars because, on the first day, we went into the caravan and the wallpaper was off my aunties wall, rust along the towel barrier,half of wallpaper off my wall, and I went on the high ropes and the staff was so rude, but it is indeed a good place.
Great to book activities but limitations let it down
Why oh why can’t you amend bookings via the Ap? Having to traipse round site (because the Leisure Hub is closed or if open they say they can’t help anyway) is silly. And please please list the shows and activities in time order and give details on what they are!
Great time
Staff very helpful and friendly, plenty for children to do. Food great and Dine Around made choosing easy. Very peaceful at night for the first half of the week, then noisy, inconsiderate neighbours for the second half. Guest services only operate 9-5 so not aware of anyone who could have had a word with them?

Butlin’s Minehead
Had a great week at Butlin’s Minehead the comfort apartments was very clean and big. Entertainment was brilliant at night couldn’t find anything wrong with that. The only problems we found as a family with older kids was with the fair the rides for the older kids wasn’t working. Also you can book on the app for the entertainment and found this wasn’t controlled good in most of the areas at night. Where the people who hadn’t booked was allowed in at the same time so really no point booking in advance. the only place what made sure this happened was in Studio 36.

App is a disappointment
Butlin’s was great. This app is not.
Opening times are sometimes wrong
Map hard to use due to the way everything is overlaid on top of each other
Often gets stuck in list mode
Eats through battery
No way to filter out full events
Lots of events from past years shown.

Useless
App would only work as a map. Had to phone customer services to book anything by which time everything we wanted to do was already full. Couldn’t even book a table for the meals. Couldn’t add the existing holiday booking - it kept wanting me to book a new holiday.
