John Fowler Holidays, Cornwall

We have stayed at three different John Fowler holiday parks in Cornwall (ang again next week) and have had a really good holiday. For us, we just want a base to come home to at night, as we spend the days out and about sightseeing. There are 15 John Fowler Holiday Parks in Devon and Cornwall.

The twin beds were extremely small but adequate for children. The living area was enormous ... more

We opted for a tent pitch at the Widecombe Bay holiday park just south of Bude. The pitch itself was on a slope which made for interesting times staying in bed as the kids kept sliding out of the door! The site itself was very clean and litter free. The warden and staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival and throughout our week long stay. Unfortunately it rained every day, typical British summer I guess, and the ground did get rather sloppy underfoot, unavoidable perhaps.
