A Night Free!🤩

We had actually no intention of booking a Club Site, had already decided to use Laneside rather than Castleton, but for a couple of nights away locally, it gives us a very nice under £18 a night at Castleton. So it’s changed our mind for a very short stay.

But you're still probably in a minority of members wanting to stay away at that time of year, and it's good that it works for you.

Its going to be good for a lot of people, but I don't see it as the all inclusive offer its dressed up to be as many people won't want to

What do they say "Don't look a gift horse in the face" The offer is there so why not take it. Not much point seeking motivation for the offer in my view. If it proves popular it's just possible it will be repeated. If we book three nights at one of the sites I previously mentioned they are about £31 a night in early March so rather than £93 it would cost me £62, about the same as it would cost per night on an all facility CL? Just for ref, Moreton in Marsh was £24 a night at that time of year in 2019 so even a saving on prices five years ago!

Exactly what I said in my initial post David. I'm just making the point that it has limited appeal.

I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, and any offer that saves money is welcome, but I see this as an offer with limited appeal and one that is aimed to fill sites at a time of year when they would normally be less busy.

Let’s face it, what ever reasons are given this is simply a business move to get people to go to sites that are already open and being staffed. It is no different to the cheap pitches at Haven sites, Searles and others. We hope to be at Searles in Hunstanton in March, for less than a club site, even with offer, and with a swimming pool, which is why we will be going. Most of the other attractions will be closed, which suits us.

I agree Hja. The Club has chosen to play in the same league as some of the big multi site providers, adopting similar deposit and booking T&Cs. If it’s going to compete, it’s got to adopt some of the similar really good offers that are out there as well. I am sure at quiet times, some of them have a bit more to offer than Club Sites, it’s not going to be enough just to think “we are The Caravan Club, we can rely on the loyalty of our membership paying customers” any more. That baby went out with the unique booking selling point bath water last year, certainly for a good few like us.

Yippee, they've let me back into the club. Got a text yesterday.

I was going anyway for three nights so now I only pay for the two.

A very good offer. If we book Baltic Wharf for a few days, as we often do in March, next year it will save us £38.60

Worth bearing in mind though that it is first night free, so if the price goes up for the weekend at the end you can’t have that day😂

I get offers as e mails everyday . Some I accept, some I delete.

The latest is Nivea Happy Days Skincare Gift Set for £5.50 instead of £11.00 . Half price, what a bargain. How can anyone look such a gift horse in the face?

I just did.
