Mum takes kids on festive trip to Butlin's – but is floored by state of her room
Share:
At this time of year, many people take their children on festive trips away. After all, the little ones want to embrace as much Christmas magic as possible, so it's normal to dream of a little adventure. One mum recently took her family to Butlin's in Minehead, but she didn't think it was the best.
Katie Hulme, 25, opened up about the trip on TikTok, where she shared footage of the room she was handed. In the clip, you can see marks on the light switches that allegedly hadn't been cleaned, hairs and dust along the skirting boards and what looks like mould in the corner of the shower.
All in all, it wasn't quite full of the magic the family expected. Katie said the experience was "absolutely grim", and claimed the resort only offered her a £25.00 voucher in compensation. After she shared clips of what she deemed to be "unclean" accomodation, people were quick to comment. Over 1,000 people have viewed the video, and many shared their thoughts too.
One person said: "Ours hadn't been cleaned when we arrived." Another wrote: "Once you've been to a Butlin's weekend you won't want to take your kids to the same place.". Others disagreed though and praised their experiences of staying at the popular resort. In fact, many had only good things to say. One chimed in with: "We did Christmas at Skegness and it was brilliant. The room was great.".
Someone else added: "I've been to Butlin's, Minehead. The chalet has always been clean.". Recently Butlin's has had tens of thousands of guests visit its three resorts on a festive break over the last few weeks, and the feedback is reported to have been overwhelmingly positive. Guests have particularly praised the new Father Christmas Express Delivery experience.
