Infracombe John Fowler holiday park

Staff were very pleasant and warm.
Swimming pool nice and warm and did not stink of chlorine
Accommodation basic though suited our needs- nice views, well maintained.
Plenty of parking in the area.
Nice high street, close by also.
Supermarket in walking distance
Scenery of a nice mix, ie quiet/ picturesque beaches/ harbour/ gift shops/ stone and sand beaches etc
Plenty for all ages, wonderful for walkers.
Good sea fishing spots, float fishing really advisable than weight due to snagging of tackle on rocks on sea bed.
Big fine sandy beach nearby in Woolacoombe, worth a visit with the kids great for sand-castle building!
We got a good deal, (though may have felt disappointed paying full price!Bad Points−Accomodation on a hill (not ideal for pushchairs), though this is North Devon....should definitely expect large inclines driving and walking!
Parking usually £1 per hour (60p off peak), free parking can be found if you look hard enough up side streets.
We had a top floor apartment, (I did wonder if there was anyone staying beneath us suffering from our creaky floor boards!)

Unsure if it was the time of year or the type of accommodation that was the reason for my biggest gripe.....there was not a lot of on-site entertainment for teenagers, hence older kids snuck into soft play area with an age limit of 8 years! Children were mostly unsupervised by parents whom were busy socialising and getting drunk, occasionally bar staff pulled out the older kids. It's far too small and inadequate for the amount of families on site with young children and toddlers and mayhem and upset on a regular basis, an opinion shared by some other parents. Personally I think this soft play area should have a lower age limit or a separate soft play area for older children, severely needs to be looked at! I understand the need for rough play etc, etc, though by the third night I realised this was way, way beyond rough play, and stopped my son going; by contrast we met many nice families in Illfracoombe and surrounding areas.

I would not recommend to a friend, because you don't know what accommodation you are getting? we got lucky all are basic some are more modern some very dated, whole site needs re-modernising!
