The Butlins Minehead Review Introduction
You may have noticed a few pictures from Butlins on my Instagram account were uploaded over the weekend. We had our first Butlins Ambassador break at the Minehead Resort over the weekend, however it is back to reality now but all is not lost I have many stories to tell you. I'm planning four more posts about Butlins Minehead so I can explain everything we experienced in exciting and colourful detail. I intend for the posts to cover these aspects below of our Weekend break to Butlins, but if you can not wait for me to bring you these posts you could check out my family daily vlog.

In this post I will go in to more detail about what my role as an ambassador means, what type of break you can choose and what I was expecting from my first Butlins experience. Back in the Summer I received an email which delivered the great news that I had been selected as one of ten Butlins Ambassadors for the 2014/2015 program.
The Butlins Ambassador program is a great opportunity for bloggers to be rewarded for building well respected websites among the online parenting community. Butlins allow their selected Ambassadors to take two breaks at different resorts in exchange for our reviews of the holiday. An Ambassador role also involves being actively involved with Social media sharing pictures and interacting with Butlins social media community.
We have to choose one break in the school holidays which can be a four night mid week stay or a three night weekend stay. Then we must take the other break during term time, which is what we have done this month. We did have to leave slightly early on the Sunday evening for school the next day which was a shame. It was nice to be able to take a break during the term time as having booked many holidays in the past we know just how much more expensive it can be in the school holidays.
The resorts are really well spread across the country which is great because the first break we took was the three night weekend. We choose the closest resort to our home so we did not have an epic journey home on the Sunday evening. The closest resort to Plymouth is Minehead (North Somerset Coast) but we could have chosen either Skegness (East coast) or Bognor Regis (South Coast).
We really did not know what to expect from our first stay with Butlins and you will be able to find out more in the coming days when I bring you the rest of my review. Do not forget to check out the hashtag #Butlinsambassador on Twitter and Instagram for great butlin holiday snaps.
