October 6 – 13 2012 5 adults: myself, my husband 2 grown up children & one of their partners. Have just got back from St Ives holiday Village, Oakleigh bungalow ( budget one) I must admit I was very worried after reading the reviews on this website & from previous experience of a John Fellows site (not St Ives). Everything that was vital was great constant hot water from the tank, the shower was no problem, heated towel rail in the bathroom came in very useful so did the clothes... (read more)

“Lovely Break!”
Written on: 11/05/2012 by Jaynelangford
Well,,, after reading a few negative reviews I was thinking of not going but glad I did! Took Hubby and two Westies. Check in 10 outta 10 very friendly and happy to help with anything we needed, Chalet very clean and believe me I am a clean freak, shower and cubicle spotless, sink, toilet spotless, same goes for the rest of the chalet and by the way we had a budget one. Yes little outdated but that reflects in the price, if we wanted 5 star we would have paid 5 star prices. Club House,,,... (read more)

“DO NOT waste your money on this place”
Written on: 29/04/2012
The chalets at the John Fowler site are sub standard accommodation which date back to the sixties and have clearly not been changed since; apart from the sofa and tele. The chalet resembled a shed with windows and as the weather was awful we had to have the one heater on and so the windows were running with condensation. The doors have paint chipped off them, the bathroom is so small I have no idea how an adult male or large woman would even fit in there. The front door had a huge gap at the... (read more)

Tthis was the holiday from hell and was definately not worth the money. Everything about this place was awful and should be closed down! for one, the staff are so rude, unhelpful and miserable. The "childrens park" is FILTHY, has nothing but two slides, it is so pointless and boring with bird poo everywhere! The "perfect holiday lodges" are dirty, damp, cold and smelly. The arcade is tiny with hardly anything in there, not even a 2p machine! all arcades have one of them. The swimming pool is... (read more)

The John Fowler holiday park needs a lot of work and money spent on it. The shalets are very old, ours smelt of damp and the windows did not shut properly so we had to sleep with the heating on all night(In July). The insides of the shalets are very dated with wood effect walls and carpets from the 60's. The entertainment was ok, but all the staff in the park were really nice. Even though i have given the park a low rating we still had a lovely holiday. We were booked onto the park with... (read more)

We have just returned from a severn day stay at john fowler resort st ives. We had a fab experience. We stayed in number 147 a woodland budget challet, extremely good value for money.

John Fowler Holiday Village St. Ives provides a good economy holiday. The Chalet was clean and newly painted and had all the necessary equipment needed. It is a woodland park and has lots of wildlife to watch.
The Manager and staff were helpful and friendly. The pool was lovely and warm and there was a life guard on duty at all times. Unfortunately the Sauna and flume were not available to use and there are no lockers for belongings.
The club was friendly with enthusiastic entertainment...

Reading this site a week before we were due to go I decided not to show my wife the negative reviews and had my heart in my mouth as i pulled into the village. I was hoping our only holiday this year wouldn't be as bad as what I had read. My advice to people going is to ignore most of these reviews as we had an excellent time! My wife is a bit of a clean freak and the rooms were clean enough for her so I was happy. Everything under one roof, to cook full english's, chillis, currys and not to... (read more)

The St Ives holiday village was our given park as part of a sun holiday deal. Wasn't expecting much from a £9.50 holiday but OMG! The site is awful!! We were given the woodland wood hut but I almost felt like crying after seeing how basic, dirty and mouldy the hut was. After asking if we could move cabins we were told that the site was full. We enquirer with John Fowlers head quarters who told us there was plenty of spaces. Returning to te reception to enquire again another lady said there... (read more)

Have Just got back from St Ives holiday Village i was expecting alot worse after reading the reviews. I stayed in the Trevacroft Chalet, which was well equipped, clean and tidy. I couldn't see any damp although there was a hint of a smell of damp in the lounge area although i think you can expect that as they are located in the woods. Plenty of hot water from the shower and no smell of damp on the bathroom. The surroundings are quite pleasant and the holiday park location is a good.

We've stayed at St Ives Holiday Village twice so far this year (we've booked again for the October half term) and our Trevacroft accomodation was fine, clean, dry and warm.
The bathrooms were a little small but were clean and smelled fresh. The hot water did take a little while to come through but there was plenty of it.
The kitchen in the Trevacroft Chalets we stayed in was well equipped and clean, there was a lovely new flat screen DVD TV combo to watch in the living area although...

Although a good base for touring Cornwall the chalet was mouldy and we left early. I could not get our clothes out of the cases because of the smell.

My initial expectations were low after reading some awful reviews a few weeks before going with my partner and 4 children.(aged 8,13,14&15) We arrived at 4.30pm and had the keys to our bronze chalet straight away. On entering the chalet it appeared from the outside that some of the wooden panels were rotting away and the windows were in need of a clean. On entering there was a bit of a musty damp smell but we didn't notice it after a short while. Although throughout the week I noticed the... (read more)

My family arrived at St Ives Holiday Village, which is in fact about 3 miles outside of St Ives, after a gruelling 9 hours journey from the Midlands. On arrival we were pleased with our first impressions. The outside entrance was bright and well cared for, neat and tidy. However that was where it ended! We parked up and went to the reception where we and other families, with young children and babies, were asked to return in an hour at the booking in time of 4pm and because our accomodation...

After reading the reviews we were very worried about our holiday to St Ives John Fowlers.
We expected the worst, but it wasn't that bad.
If you are expecting the standards of a hotel then i suppose you will be disappointed. If you are comparing the stay to a campsite then you will be pleased.
The chalet was rustic and there were a few mould areas on the outside of the front door but that was it. The rooms were clean, painted and the furniture was ample.
It was very warm and musty when...

I found this review very helpful because... myself and a collegue took a s/u on holiday we work for the nhs learning disability sector, we take him on holiday every year ,we picked this holiday because it was supposed to have entertainment i have to say that i've seen better much better , they advertised chalets ,they should have said sheds ,they were damp very smelly dirty ,the bedding was damp there was a hole in the cushions on the sofa a very small tv they were dark and dingey very expensive we only booked it for 4 dats thankfully, i can't understand how they can get away with it why are they not checked to make sure they are habitabal i wouldn't give this john fowler holiday village in st ives any rating at all , i think they should be giving us a refund , or paying people to stay there ,it was disgusting there wasn't even enough space to put your clothing so it had to stay in cases on the floor even they were damp ,it shouldn't be allowed , we wll never recommend it to anyone its not even fit for a dog ,

Stayed for 3 nights with friends in a 2 bed cabin. Cabin wasn't spotless, but wasn't dirty either, just looked tired. Slight damp/musty smell, but nothing horiffic (although it could have an adverse effect on individuals with asthma). Seemed very quiet for the time of year (June/July). Bar and shop very expensive, but pleasant. Staff looked obviously bored but tried to make an effort to be friendly.

We have been on 3 John fowler holdays all in different areas. We had a wonderful time, Clean, comfortable and very good value for money with the half price. It was just the two of us and our dogs with own transport. We look forward to our 4th holiday with them. Very peaceful and relaxing. My only complaint is that dogs are £40 each so it add alot more on the bill. Wished they were a little cheaper. (read more)

Just returned from this site. How health and safety have not closed this site is beyond me.
The worst accomodation I have ever stayed in, mouldy damp and rotting!
Ventured into the pool and now the whole family has severe sickness and diarrhea.
St Ives is lovely, but unless you have the time to take a week off afterwards to recover from the nasty bug you will catch go elsewhere.

Hi, which chalet did you stay in? we just returned on the 15th may with the exact same sympthoms, we also ventured in the pool on the sunday but then it was shut due to uncontrollable circumstances??? supposedly broken boiler & pump? So its either the pool or the chalet that as cause us all to be violently ill. My 2 young son`s still are very poorly :(

I found this review not helpful because...the site is appaling. I was checking recent reviews to see if the place had improved, since my last stay...and it hasnt.I accept this is one persons opinion, but this holiday site is a hell hole !
