	Review: Butlins Spa, Skegness
		When I was asked to try out the new spa experience in Butlins, Skegness, childhood memories came flooding back: donkey rides, bingo nights and my dad asleep in a deckchair with a knotted hanky on his head.
		Butlins, which has made its name as an affordable family holiday resort with 3 UK locations in Skegness, Minehead and Bognor, has joined the spa revolution.
		The Butlins Spa is open to day guests as well as residents - it was very quiet on the day I visited but I can imagine harassed mothers taking advantage of the babysitting facilities on site while grabbing some quiet time.

		As workmen put the finishing touches yesterday to the four-storey hotel, modelled on an ocean liner, the company made bold noises about "moving Butlins into the 21st century", even if some locals in the West Sussex resort voiced doubts.
		The first of three Butlins hotels - others are planned at Minehead and Skegness - is a cut above some of the more traditional examples of chalet accommodation at the Bognor complex.

	Butlins Redcoats
		In the first few days of the opening of his first camp Billy Butlin sensed that something was missing, the campers were not using the camp in the way that he had envisaged.
		Although Butlin's had all the facilities that the campers needed it became obvious that they needed to be encouraged to use them.
		It was later that very same evening that Bill Butlin decided that the togetherness Norman had managed to achieve between the campers was what was needed for the holiday camps to be successful.

	The Observer \| Travel \| UK: Don't even think of saying Hi-de-Hi
		Butlins and 'boutique hotel' is not a pairing that trips off the tongue, but Carole Cadwalladr is happy to have her perceptions altered in Bognor Regis
		Because I actually do rather like Butlins, having been reprogrammed in Skeggie last year where I was converted from metropolitan sceptic ('What do you mean you don't do cappuccino?'), into a fan of its slightly old-fashioned honest-to-goodness British seaside atmosphere.
		Butlins has come a long way since the days of wake-up calls and fancy-dress competitions, which is why the management calls it a 'perception' rather than an 'image' problem.

		The art deco lines and floor-to-ceiling windows wouldn’t look out of place up the coast in Brighton, and the fenced-off green surrounding and canopied terrace area are spacious and inviting.
		The interior is equally surprising, considering the widely held Hi-De-Hi perception of Butlins as an outdated 1950s family holiday camp.
		There are three grades of accommodation to choose from, and top-of-the-shop suite, Nelson’s Stateroom — with its fantastic deep balcony and 180° sea view — even comes with a telescope, so you can conjure up scenes of swashbuckling sea battles, or just spy on the brave bathers.
