The Sun's £9.50 Holidays - Do I have to pay for a baby less than 1 year old

[pandy]

I have been collecting the sun holiday vouchers as me, my partner, my sister, and her partner, wanted to have a little holiday with ours and their baby, in october.

The thing is my son is only 7 weeks old and will be be 10 months at the time. My sisters baby is not born yet, but would be around 4 months old at the time (according to her due date).

We were filling in the form today, and wondered...
Do we pay the £9.50 for both the babies or are they free?

Thanks

Ooo good question! I'm doing the sun holiday and hadn't thought about that! Perhaps bumping this up someone else will help.

There's only 3 of us including Tegan so had to pay £38 anyway so can't help sorry. we got ours back yesterday and got Our 4th choice Not the best place But it'll be a nice break away! first time i've done it x

I'll give them a ring tomorrow before I post it Thanks anyway

I'll update on here and let you know if babies have to be paid for

 

[pandy]

I can confirm that babies do have to be paid for, even if the park states "Under 5s Free"

Rip offs! They don't even have a bed! I just read up on cots, you can hire a cot off them (think its a travel cot?) for £7 for short stays (thats the for the park i'm looking into) but i have one anyway but as theres no room in the bedrooms the baby has to go in the living room in his cot..unless of course you have the baby in bed with you but i dont want to start doing that!

I agree. We want to go to Pontins, and they provide one cot for no charge. But I don't think we should have to pay for a baby under 1 year old, because they don't even know what a holiday is, they can't have fun, they're just a baby, so why should we have to pay for a baby to stay in an apartment we was going to stay in anyway

Last year I received a reply months after I sent the form

I think you get confirmation 2 weeks after the closing date which is the 11th I think.

Ye, last year I sent my form too late so i didn't get the park of my choice, but I was emailed a list of parks, and I choose pontins in prestatyn, it was so good we decided to put it on the list this year

I don't think I got a hope in hell of having the one I want as I've only just got my 10th token! Wanted to book Devon Cliffs but I think it's really popular. Anyone else recommend holiday parks in Devon for back ups?

Me and my family have done the sub holiday for the last five years I think and we always go to torquay x

I have no idea, but if you get a different park, dont believe every review you read, as I notice alot of holiday reviews to be untrue
