We booked to stay with John Fowler as a cheap holiday, however I must warn that off peak season it is worth paying the extra to upgrade rooms. When we arrived we were put into the Celadine Chalet, it was very small, the TV didn't work and it was very cold and damp. It was spotless in terms of cleanliness, although we found a clump of hairs on the bed sheets!!! We went to reception to see if we could pay to upgrade and they managed to put us in a Royal Gold apartment for free. This flat was 100% better and we wished we had paid the extra £50 and booked it from the beginning! Again it was very clean, it had two bedrooms, a flat screen TV with a DVD player, and a dishwasher, which meant we could relax for the week! Also the bedrooms had fantastic views out to the sea. It is true, you do get what you pay for, although the peak season prices for the chalets I would not pay. The park itself had everything you needed, the entertainment was what we were expecting!! Fun but nothing that blew us away, the staff were friendly, especially on reception. What I will mention though is that you can't check in until 4pm. We left home early and got there at about 12, but we had to go into Ilfracombe with all our bags in the boot as we couldn't check in straight away. Lovely area, would recommend Woolacombe, although am told it gets VERY busy in the summer! All in all a great holiday!
