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. Some of them in woodlands, some of them near beaches. All of them conveniently located. I am only going to mention the three that we have stayed in. ST IVES HOLIDAY VILLAGE +++++++++++++++++++++ St Ives is about 2 miles away. This park is near Hayle. We stayed here in September 2003. We payed around £70 ... more

We went to John Fowler, Illfracombe holiday park during August 2008 and paid over £850 for a week in their "Royal Gold Bungalow" accommodation. We booked after looking at their holiday brochure - what an absolute waste of money and i would not recommend this "park" to anyone, i came away feeling i had been taken for a fool for parting with £850 to stay on this so called holiday park. 1. When you book a holiday for your family and you are paying for the "top" accommodation available on the holiday park, you have certain expectations about the type of holiday you can expect and the JFH brochure ... more

Having just returned from a week on the John Fowler Holiday site in Widemouth Bay, Cornwall, I had to quickly write an opinion. We arrived after a slow journey down the M5 to a very quick, efficient check-in where we were given the keys to the caravan and a map of the site showing us how to get to the caravan. We booked the bronze caravan, the cheapest type on the site. After entering the caravan we were overwhelmed with the cleanliness of the accommodation. The bedrooms were one double and a twin room. 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. The shared facilities were of a good standard and the cleaners did a remarkable job of keeping them clean at every ... more

We have just come back from a week at the St Ives Holiday Park. The BIG & LIVELY PARK!! more like a ghost town!! entertainment was unsatisfactory the brochure said hours of fun at the foxy kids club which was actually a hour in the morning and a so called hour in the evening. accomodation was unsatifactory dirty and smelt of damp with bird droppings down the windows and doors and we paid for an upgrade!! left a customer comment form on the first day wich we recieved no reply from the management! evening entertainment consisted of trying to intice people to play bingo and selling kids flashing ... more

Just returned from John Fowler Holiday in Ilfracombe. Disappointed with accomodation, very small, although credit due, it was clean. Buttercup apartment stated it slept 6-8 in brochure but it was a push with 4 adults & 2 children. Tiny kitchen - had new microwave but nowhere nearby to plug in unless we unplugged the fridge. Bathroom tatty, no basic things like hooks or rails to hang towels. Toilet leaked, called maintenance, arrived prompt but said it was condensation off shower & to leave fan running longer- it wasn't, it was a leaking pipe but he wasn't having it! Lots of holes in walls & ... more
