BUTLIN'S HOLIDAY PROTECTION

You can receive a 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

We will require the correct documents to accompany your claim in the form of a doctor’s certificate, death certificate, redundancy letter or court notification for jury service. The Butlin’s Holiday Protection will only cover named guests on the booking as a whole unit and not for the removal of individual guests. Claims cannot be made for any of the four reasons for individuals not included on the booking.

 

Butlin's Holiday Protection can only be added to a booking up to 14 days after making the booking.

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. Please see below for specifics:

However, we'll always aim to provide you with as many options as we can; for example, we may be able to change the date of your break for an admin fee as an alternative to cancelling. Please email our team at holidayprotection@butlins.com to discuss possible options.
