Actually a bit sad, there's probably poor families who have legitimately gone to this place for a holiday because its the best they can do for their kids. Imagine being that parent knowing your walking into a run down place but trying to make it seem great for your kids
I've seen some other creators knocking Pontins and other places but i think its a little cringe turning it into entertainment. Its like kicking someone when they're down. We know these places exist, let them be i say.

I went on tons of these £9.50 Sun holidays as a kid, every year to the same place - Butlins which later turned into Haven in Ayrshire in Scotland. It would always be the same weekend, first Thursday-Monday of July. I have some of my fondest memories as a kid there, with my grandparents at the arcades, go-karting and playing mini golf. The accommodation was shockingly similar to this, clearly nothing has changed in 15 years. But when you're 9 years old you don't notice that, you love the crap entertainment they put on and all the lights of the arcades. I'm really glad in retrospect I went every year from I was maybe 6 right until I was about 14 and got too old for it. That time spent with my grandparents was magical, and it was all captured on a camcorder my by granddad which was later converted to VHS. My grandparents have now all passed on, and I pop the videos on every now and again to relive a time in my life I was probably the happiest. I don't really have a point to make here, just that when you're a child and your parents can't afford to go abroad, you look forward to holidays like this every year more than Christmas. And not to sound like a complete boomer aged 26, but maybe that feeling is missing now as places like this become a thing of the past
@@bcryan9465 disagree. You clearly didn’t watch the video. They reviewed the accommodation (which was poor, no matter what your financial state but also were mindful of the cost. They laughed at funny reviews and then were positive and upbeat despite everything being closed
@@bcryan9465 yeah also massively disagreeing here. These dudes are two people in their twenties going to a holiday park with shitty accom, all the activities closed and very boring entertainment. I'd have a similar experience if it were me. My point was how magical these sort of places felt as a child, when in reality they weren't very good at all if you look at it from an adult perspective. I thought the video and review were very good and a pretty accurate reflection on what these sort of places are like
I remember staying at somewhere similar to this when I was a kid and there was....dog poop.... on the carpet in our chalet so they upgraded us to a caravan 🤭
I actually worked there in 2019, I left just before the ceiling accident, safe to say it was absolutely horrible I worked in the fish and chip shop and do many other cooking jobs around the site, everything was unhygienic and out of place, I lived on site due to living 2 hours away and even then it was just not okay, luckily as staff I could take cleaning equipment and clean my self which gave me piece of mind
I think the problem is is that the place is literally the same as it was when it opened. There is a reason I feel for why Pontins is struggling. It's because they're simply not moving with the times and they're also not trying anymore. The stuff just looks so dated now. Stayed at this resort a few years ago and can confirm, it's really not pretty. Great video btw and loved watching you guys play bingo 😂
Remember guys, this is what some of the UK population have to do in order to get away from day to day life. Eye opener for many people, but this is a reality & some people’s yearly holiday.
I used this scheme to go on holiday a few years back, ended up being £33 but it was actually a really nice resort in the south of France, a bargain in the end !
Okay but we grew up reaaly poor and this was the only way we could go on holiday. now, we would go to haven not Pontins. but it was the best part of the year. it's fun when you make it fun!!
@@afras9433 Nah not really most avarage famillies in the uk can afford an annual holiday in Europe in a 4 star hotel flying British Airways. Even the working-class can go to Spain or Greece in a 3 star flying Ryanair. Going to one of these filthy holiday parks is only for the really poor. It's not priviliged to go abroad and even if it is, it should not be treated as a negative thing and it's actually quite a positive thing.
When u aren't materialistic rich or just content to spend time with people who enjoy the company of... its perfect. I would choose this type of holiday over dubai
If I won the euromillions I’d love to buy this place and do it up so that children who’s parents can only afford to go here at least have somewhere clean and safe to stay.
That is one of the most wonderful things for anyone to say :) I was even more impoverished in my youth. I was so poor as a child and a teenager I never once had any holidays ever so this sentiment means even more knowing that children who have parents that struggle would be able to make some magical memories together.
I went to Pontins every year as a kid (Camber Sands) and I remember it being epic. Looking back I do now realise it wasn’t that great but as a kid I did love it
I used to work for a well known British holiday company in the call centre hated sun holiday times coz they didn't tell the poor people that it isn't actually 9.50 and you have to buy,the bedding and the entertainment prices and the 9.50 is a guide price
I went to Butlins in Minehead once. Opened the door to the chalet and there were 2 inch mushrooms growing out of the carpet. Asked to be changed to another chalet, which they did. Only to find the previous guest had left their sex toys on top of the wardrobe. They were massive too.
Dont as someone who as a kid used and went on the sun holidays I can tell you now it was some of my favourite memories with my family and it was some of my most happiest times and brought me alot of joy to see how happy my mum was
@@connor9356 no I agree with this, we had so much fun going on these holidays as kids, and we were even excited to go buy the paper each week because we knew the voucher was in it lol. as cheesy as it sounds, its not where you go, it's who you go with!!
I used to holiday here all the time growing up, we had little money so this was an obvious choice for my family. Frankly, I've only got good memories from that place.
I think watching your budget, hotels, holiday parks, and things are your best ones, there so funny but will help so many people that are looking for cheap options! Please do more!
Used to go on these holidays all the time as a kid and have some really fond memories, you don't notice the disrepair when you're young, the shiny arcade lights and flashy shows were enough to keep me & my siblings entertained haha. I do remember more of the attractions, golf, go karting etc, being open. so it's pretty sad to see the state a lot of these holiday parks are in these days but i'll always have the memories.
Lucky escape!! My mum's maiden name is Geraghty. ... Loads better places you can go for 9.50 than this dump. .. I do go on the sun hols, you can get some nice parks. I would not go here.
I used to be a bluecoat, when I was 20 (I'm turning 40 in 4 weeks), down in Wall Park, Brixham, Devon. This is absolutely cringe worthy to see how grim they have turned out. I can hand on heart say that it wasn't like this sh*t show 20 years ago 🎉
If for some reason I want to go or if u got to the one next to it (which is very nice I would recommend) go to the beach and go to the sand dunes it’s very fun
I hope people know that alot of the other places you can go on the £9.50 holidays are amazing, just down the road from where they are is Unity park resort which is great.
I remember going to Butlins Barry Island as a kid which was amazing, a real shame how these places have become so unpopular and left to fall into disrepair.
Just back from brean pontins the shed you had was luxury to the one I was in it was the dirtiest place I have ever stayed in .we had to disinfect every thing the smell was stuffy and damp plus a health hazard. That's all I can say at the moment. Still in shock.

I used to be a doorman at a bar close to this pontins and the riff raff that used to be there on sun holidays was shocking. Spend pennies on the family holiday but hundreds on booze. Mum n dad in the bar from 8am till 2am 5nights a week while the kids look after themselves type of people
I used to go to pontins as a kid, it’s crazy to think how amazing it was to me as a young mind with less to compare to! Although it was Camber Sands so had a nice beach and other nice local places to spend days out
We grew up with the annual pontins holiday mostly at the broadreeds camp, now a housing estate ...Great times there with life long family friends the Williams family from cov! Great times fondly remembered.
I don't get why people would expect *** service and a reacharound for UKP10. The place wasn't any worse than some of the hostels i stayed in couple of decades ago. At least you got a bed and a shower. Thanks for sharing.
