Butlins Minehead Resort Tour and Entertainment 2022

[@jackkinseyoutdoors1321]

Me and my partner have started going for cheap weekends once a year to get away from the kids and have drinks and parties and it’s given us so many good memories that don’t break the bank

[@KarionTravelling]

If you book them far in advance, during the sales or use Tesco clubcard vouchers, these breaks can be an absolute steal. We book midweek breaks in Feb/March or Nov for under £50.

Awesome video Kari 👍, thank you very much for sharing, I really love your video, have a very beautiful and blessed day 👍.

[@KarionTravelling]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment on my videos, I really appreciate it and looking forward to seeing the messages from you each week. 🙂

[@godsinspiration2546]

@@KarionTravelling your welcome, I really appreciate all you do for us your fans 👍, thank you very much.

[@Splashysalt]

Hello I’ve haven’t checked for a While I’m normally on my other accounts SplashEditzVFX or Hand Dryers with splashy and I only tend to comment on butlins videos because I get interested in the dryers that they use as me and someone else has filmed the whole on Skegness and they had White heatstore Tornado selects with the Green triangle!

[@KarionTravelling]

Hey, nice to see you back.

[@brettkeepin808]

Can’t wait to go back, went for Easter break now looking forward to our summer break in August 👍

[@KarionTravelling]

I hope you have a nice break in August, and hopefully more of the rides will be open by then 😊

[@brettkeepin808]

@@KarionTravelling 👍

[@KarionTravelling]

They were either down for maintenance or unable to open due to lack of staff. I really wanted to try the rides in the swimming pool but sadly they didn't have enough people to open them.

[@sophiemudge5529]

Currently here at butlins but sadly going home tomorrow so I’m watching this to make me feel better

[@KarionTravelling]

Aww, that's the worst bit isn't it. It sounds like you've had a great time though. 😊

[@Hayley-dm2je]

Hi Kari! Hope you're well & enjoying the sunshine? I'm thinking of booking a break to Minehead as feeling desperately nostalgic. I know the chairlift etc has been removed, but I can't seem to find out if the rapids are still going in the pool? Is it worth travelling all that way? I've found a pretty good mid-week deal in a few weeks time :) Thank you x

[@KarionTravelling]

It's much bigger than Bognor, if I were to go again, I like the look of the bungalows. It's weird because it's familiar, but not at the same time. I wouldn't go for less than a week, purely because of the distance away from us.

[@Hayley-dm2je]

@@KarionTravelling Yes that's true. It's about 4 hours by train from Portsmouth & then an hour & 20 mins by bus too, so I'm not sure I can be 'bothered' to travel so long when I've already booked the winter wonderland break at Bognor this year :) The steam train looks fun though & the bungalows look cosy too :)

[@KarionTravelling]

I don't think Minehead has great links for public transport, especially the train. Have you been to Skegness? It's still on my wish list, but with so many great places to visit, it's hard to justify a long drive and the price in school holidays.

[@rysn3_]

Love it xx

[@KarionTravelling]

Thank you 😊

[@n40m3h]

I’m thinking of going with my husband and our 2 year old for the first weekend in September. I’ll be 9 months pregnant. Do you think it would be suitable for the toddler and for me - meaning there’s enough for her to do without me running around after her?

[@KarionTravelling]

Yes, the little fair and shows are great and I think you will all have a lovely time. It's great for letting them have a little independence but still being able to keep an eye on her. I would definitely pay a little extra and book somewhere close to the main complex, unless you like a lot of walking. 😊

[@amyhambridge9005]

Take a hospital bag, baby clothes, baby supplies and a car seat with you just incase.

[@charlotteg5567]

We are going on the 4 of July do u think it will has busy has holidays

[@KarionTravelling]

I think early July is just before most children break up from school so it won't be as busy as early August, but it does get busier towards the summer. I hope you have a lovely time.

[@angelawilliams7106]

Your awesome😘😝

[@KarionTravelling]

Thank you very much 😊

[@Ruberry1979]

What equipment you filming on? looks great.

[@KarionTravelling]

Thank you, this was filmed on my Samsung phone as my camera gave up. I'm currently researching my next camera as i'm not 100% happy with the audio on my phone, especially for outdoor recording, even with a mic.

[@Ruberry1979]

@@KarionTravelling I'm using a gopro 9 but your video looks great, think i need to change my settings.

[@KarionTravelling]

If you're having trouble with focus, check there isn't a tiny spec of dirt behind the lense that the gopro is trying to focus on - I've had that before. Or as you said try different settings, I've been trying new things this year, some have worked some not so well - but if you don't try you won't know 😉

[@Ruberry1979]

@@KarionTravelling been looking at video bitrates trying to figure that out.

[@KarionTravelling]

Most of the people I've spoken to film in 1080 or 4k, and 30 frames. I like 1080, because I've had issues with 4k causing major lag and a lot of people watch on their phones so 4k might not be that advantageous. 😊

[@roxiesgalaxyclub6568]

Did u prefer minehead to the bognor one?

[@KarionTravelling]

Ohhh that's hard, Bognor is my usual so it was nice to try somewhere different. Minehead is more spread out and I certainly felt that at the end of the day when we trekked back to our apartment. I think at Minehead everything is a little bigger, and I missed Bognor's compactness.

[@elijahomoruyi7218]

Do they have the the pip pillow cus i have tried Bognor ,skegness

[@KarionTravelling]

@@elijahomoruyi7218 it might be worth looking for a Minehead FB group and asking someone who is onsite 😊

[@Thewoodenworkbench]

@@KarionTravelling What about Skegness

[@KarionTravelling]

I haven't been to Skegness yet, but it's on my list. I would like to visit all of them so I can compare.

[@gacha_1account]

I'm going to Butlins on August 5th!

[@KarionTravelling]

I hope you have a great time 😊

[@queeny2311]

Can you do one of buttlines Bognor Regis because I saw you have done one but it’s a just for tots week

[@KarionTravelling]

Hi, i do have a tour video of Butlins Bognor, here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGjXcqt4lNKLpMU although it was filmed during tots week, a lot of the entertainment is the same. :)

[@rayc9854]

We loved Goldilocks so much. It was hilarious. We missed our Xmas panto coz We all came down with covid. This deff made up for it.

[@KarionTravelling]

Ahh that's such a shame, Christmas Fantasy is good fun. The panto is fantastic isn't it, I believe it was written by the dame at Bognor (but don't quote me on that), I've seen it two dozen times and I still laugh every show. 😆

[@rayc9854]

We've booked to go to Bognor in February. Can't wait.

[@KarionTravelling]

Have you been to Bognor before?

[@rayc9854]

Once when my daughter was 3. She'll be 8 when we go again. We went on a toddler week and saw Justin Fletcher. Don't remember much about it anymore tbh. I remember it being smaller than minehead. Our apartment was right at the back in minehead, we all knackered coming home lol.

[@KarionTravelling]

@@rayc9854 Bognor is more compact that Minehead. We were at the back too and it was a trek at the end of a long day. Bognor pool is nice, but no rides, and Studio 36 has toilets and a bar.

[@EsportsEcho]

I went here it was so fun been going here since i was 3 and now im 15 so…..

[@EsportsEcho]

*On my way back home now*

[@KarionTravelling]

It was our first time at Minehead, and I look forward to going back one day. I've been going to Bognor since I was about 10, it's been interesting to go back after a long break and see how it's changed and what is still the same - I bet you feel the same seeing the changes at Minehead.

[@EsportsEcho]

@@KarionTravelling yeah there used to be a spa and now its gone

[@EsportsEcho]

@@KarionTravelling and on the last day we went to fantasy island

[@KarionTravelling]

The spa and hairdressers at Bognor used to be near where the chip shop is, now the spa has moved to the Ocean hotel. I like looking back at old photos and comparing. 😁

[@shannonclaire7800]

We booked a trip here at Minehead for 5 days and the conditions of the accommodations were horrendous, we had blood, faeces, mould and other stains over the bedding and pillows and the mattresses where badly stained. Broken window glass in the bedroom, mould in the bathroom and so on, food still left up the floor from previous guests, broken drawers in bedrooms, stains and drip marks up the walls, the list goes on. Got the cleaners back out to clean the day we came and they didn’t make a difference, we had to sleep their that night with are 4 children ( didn’t get no sleep ) called them again the next morning they changed the bedding ( not the mattresses ) but replaced them with more stained bedding and mould over the pillowcases. We asked for a refund because at this point we just wanted to go home, only to be told that if we waited awhile longer they would move us to 2 different apartments in 2 different locations and split our family up because the accommodation they offered was too small/ downsized/down graded than what we paid for, went and had a look because they practically made us and it they were just has dirty has the one we were in, we continued to ask for a refund and kept being told to wait, turns out it was because they were waiting so they could close and we would have to stay another night, after 5 hours of waiting around talking to a number of staff that were absolutely no help we decided to make the 3 hour journey home with our 4 children at 8 o’clock at night without a refund or even a sorry for that matter. Please avoid.

[@KarionTravelling]

It sounds like you had an awful time and such a shame that your holiday was ruined. I've generally found their customer services to be pretty good, but I agree that some of the accommodation is in shocking condition. We're hoping to stay in one of the newly refurbed apartments when we return to see if they are any better now. Fingers crossed
