very disappointed, we had the bluebell apartment and it was very small, not very ell equip. the entertainment of a night was OK but nothing spectacular. not much for the kids to do, the village is also very quiet and there is about 2 arcades, the children got very bored and couldn't wait to get back home More

We pre-booked a family holiday at this park through The Sun Holidays scheme last July. We timed the holiday as a little family break, but mainly for my daughter and her hubby as they had just had a baby at the time. We asked for accommodation that was disabled friendly and that was as near to the main facilities (clubhouse/pool/shop)... More

Hubby and children loved the swimming pool. Good location for the local shops (tesco). Restaurant food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Would book in... More

Apon arriving at Ilfracombe John Fowler. It felt like arriving at a housing estate. With little or no aesthetic compliment. My accommodation had faulty heating which left us freezing cold. We waited until the following day to complain and instead of being help. A lady in a white shirt asked us to explain why we left it a day to... More

We stayed in one of the apartments in the manor house, there were 10 of us and it was massive, loads of room for all of us to eat, sleep and relax, it was in need of an update decor wise though. Just some new sofas, decor and new ensuite and kitchen cupboards and it would be perfect. Basically just... More

I am writing this review after reading some of the others that I have read on this site, which do not reflect my own experience. My mum, husband and I stayed here on that glorious weekend that began 30 September. I read some of the reviews after booking it, and so was dreading what I would find. We took our... More

We have just arrived back from John Fowler Illfracombe after cutting out 7 day break short, we only stayed 4 days. We booked the so called "luxury apartments" which were obviously new a few years ago but have been poorly maintained. There are decking steps upto the first floor apartments which are rotten and covered in moss. You can see... More
