BUTLINS HOLIDAY PROTECTION
We know what's it's like to be looking forward to something and how disappointing it is if those plans have to be cancelled. Butlin's Holiday Protection covers you against cancellation so you can book your break with peace of mind and reassurance, knowing you’re protected should you need to cancel.
- Holiday Protection costs £27.95 for 2025 Weekenders.
You can receive a full refund if you cancel your break up to two days in advance for the following reasons:
- Illness (covered by a doctor's certificate)
- Death
- Redundancy
- Jury service
If you cancel within two days of your break or for any other reason than those mentioned above, you'll receive a reduced refund amount and charges may apply.
Butlins Holiday Protection can be added to your booking up to 14 days after the initial date of booking your holiday. If you decide the holiday protection is not for you we can remove this from your booking within 14 days of the initial booking date at no extra charge.

We'll then write to you within 48 hours of receiving the documentation to let you know whether or not we can provide a refund. There will be a per accommodation unit cancellation charge as detailed above.
If you're cancelling for another reason, you'll need to call our Customer Care team to discuss your options.
