You do realise that the reason they offer these deals is because when it's not the school holiday they have much lower demand. Don't get cross just because one deal doesn't cater to your niche in the market.

It's supply and demand. As someone has pointed out these companies have to lower their prices in term time to attract customers. In school holidays they charge what people will pay.

Read my whole reply as many other nearly replies on here should too, I did say fair play if you don't have kids. I am a teacher and believe that companies should offer equal prices rather than make criminals out of parents who take children out of school. Oh kind of jumped the gun there and must feel quite silly now? Please also remember to be polite in your responses and not nasty. Thank you.

They don't make criminals from parents it's a civil matter NOT a criminal one

They're NOT an awful company, they operate the same way as everyone else oh and as for encouraging parents to take their kids out of school have you checked holiday dates with every school in the UK, not to mention people who might stay from abroad AND some school last will still authorise term time breaks, we took our kids to Center Parcs in January and the school authorised it no problems kids had 100% attendance until that point

Fair enough, was trying to point out that they were doing cheaper during school holidays and this encouraged people to book then with kids and therefore they risked getting a fine. I was not posting as a parent, a few people chimed in without reading properly what was said. It is a good deal, as I said in first post, for those who don't have kids and I have used them in the past and ironically, they were great, lol. It is the family holiday theme during term time I have an issue with, that's all. Have a lovely holiday anyway anyone who gets this deal. It really disappoints me how quick people are to troll and attack others for simply having an opinion without reading the replies first.

Seems like a good deal (for parents, non-parents and teachers!)
Anyone been to any of their resorts? Which ones are good?
Does the price include access to the facilities (swimmin pools etc)? I presume so.

Awful company - no deals available at all in the school holidays and therefore encouraging people to risk getting fines by taking children out of school at other times - fair play though, decent if you have no kids!

Have a look at the difference between prices at haven and centre parks too in school holidays, there all the same! Luckily for us our school have moved the Easter hols 2 weeks later than they should be and I've managed to save £450 on a week at haven with the kids!

There is nobody encouraging anyone here, this company or deal aren't advertising aimed at parents of children specifically. It's a bit harsh to say a company is "Awful" unless you have some personal experience where the company treated you in an awful way?

Do you think they are running a charity? Is basic supply / demand thing. Demand during school holidays is such that they can charge whatever they want. But if you complain about not getting 'deals' during school holidays, then why just this company, blame airlines, theme parks and almost everything else

Looks like it was you that jumped the gun there then. As for your previous comment about encouraging parents to take their kids out of school during term time - you do realise that nobody is forcing you to use these deals, right? As I said before, the deals exist so that there's more demand in off-peak times (i.e. term time) - they're not meant for parents.

Interestingly though, I have just learned that they will be doing three night weekend stays from £69 on Monday, so maybe not all that bad, lol

Thank you, will have a look at these, but more concerned about companies who try to "encourage" parents/carers to take kids out in term time and risk fines.
