Widemouth Bay Caravan Park

"We stayed four nights in a gold caravan. The caravan was really lovely, spacious and had a well equipped kitchen. The caravans are well spaced out, dont feel on top of one another. Ours had a huge window in the lounge area, which gave us lovely views of the surrounding hills. Plenty of parking near the caravans, you cant park beside them, but along the roads which weaves throughout the park, there was always a space which was great. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We used the swimming pool every day, however there is a brown smudge of grime and gunge on the tiles, all the way around the water line, it needs a good clean! The water is also extremely misty, Im not sure why! The life guard was very friendly and welcoming, and gave us a recommendation of a good fish and chip shop in nearby Bude - The Mermaid. I can confirm that the chips here were delicious! Its worth noting that if you want to swim, you have to book a time slot the day before. This ensures the pool doesnt get overcrowded, which was good. There is no WI-FI or mobile phone signal in the caravans. The only WI-FI is in the entertainment club house. This did affect us as I like to research places to go in an evening, and look for things to do each day, usually based on what the weather will do the following day! This wasnt possible and our teenage son found it very frustrating too! I do believe that being off screens is an excellent thing, but Im not sure no connection is suitable for us. The location of the park is pretty. However you need to drive as it would be a long way to walk down to the coast along the country roads, most of which have no pavements. There is a shop onsite, but its quite pricey, however there is a Morrisons, Sainsburys and a Lidl in Bude."

"Very spacious, clean and comfortable."

"Our Caravan was bright and airy and very comfortable and clean like a home from home , we were very happy."

"Nice caravan"

"Fantastic caravan, very clean and well kept."

"Small bedroom door wouldn't shut due to size of bed over hanging, so you would catch your toe each time. Plastic strip on the door kept coming off, and we had to mend the bathroom blind. Oven took ages to cook and the control knob wasn't right so it was guess work. There was only 3 of us and we only just had enough room sat at the table, and the sofa."

"Could do with better mattresses. For a gold caravan, I expect to be comfortable. Mattresses are very springy. When I say springy, I mean springs digging into you."

"A holiday park I would not go to again. The caravan was good but not the surroundings. I would not go to a John Fowler park again. Parking inadequate. No service or WiFi unless you walk 200 yards to restaurant/clubhouse. Very disappointing overall."

"Yes the accommodation could do with a refresh, but everything we needed we had , and all was working.Staff were friendly and always helpful, we stayed a week and went down for the entertainment most evenings, played bingo and kids made friends. The kids entertainment was good through the day and even my older 2 enjoyed things 11&13 year old. Food was good on site too and everything reasonably priced on site too. Would of been made better had the sun shone more, but overall the park was lovely."

"Only ate In restaurant once and was very nice"

"No dishwasher not big enough kitchen and iys not good for 8 people"

"The caravan was well equipped and very clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great."

"It would have been nice to have WI-FI in the caravan. We finished up using 1 phone as a hotspot, to enable another phone or IPad to be used."

"Beds in rooms very cozy. Sofa bed not so much. Really clean. Everything you need. Would of liked an outdoor seating area."

"Excellent value for money"

"We stayed in a silver pet friendly caravan.Our caravan was immediately adjacent to the shop. Inside the caravan was pretty dismal, even for pet friendly standards. We wasnt expecting high standards but the sofa cushions were so badly stained we had to cover them with towels to sit on them. To us it was nothing a steam clean wouldnt fix.The bedding must be doused in starch when washed as the smell was so musty, we tried to spray with air freshener to cover it up.There was a dishwasher which we thought was amazing for a caravan, except you are only given one dishwasher tablet to be able to use it. For a short break youd think a couple of tablets wouldnt break Mr Fowlers bank.The oven looked like it didnt have a proper clean for months and was covered in grease and grime.I just think it says something when youre having to buy cleaning supplies to clean your holiday accommodation before settling in to use it."

"Excellent caravan very clean too"

"Was expecting a slightly better caravan for a platinum level, it was what I would expect from a silver standard."

"We had no choice but to cut our holiday short. Really not a great place to go to."

"????????????"

"Everything went well caravan really good and clean"

"Few bits needs replacing and sometimes needs sorting out and maybe stains sheets durvet should be deep cleaned but over all not to bad"

"No internet or phone signal so wont be going back small but clean caravan"

"Caravan was well provided with utensils and kitchen products, nice little welcome pack to make a hot drink with before having to unpacklarge television in lounge and also a television in bedroom liked the ensuite which was a bonusOnly criticism was that the outside decking and railing could have done with a good clean"

"Caravan needed a good external clean and decked area jet wash, paths to caravans were muddy due to no drainage off the grassed banks, this problem won't go away unless dealt with ie land drains and ditches"

"A great holiday, would definitely go back."

"We had a great time and caravan was quite adequate for us even if older in style. It was clean, good kitchen and bedrooms and bathroom were quite sufficient for us."

"Brilliant place to stay. Staff are unbelievable absolutely Brilliant"

"Holiday was great lots to explore"

"The holiday was fantastic we went just out of season and it was fine we had all we needed. The staff and whole site was great would highly recommend."

"Great holiday kids had a great time"

"Caravan was very nice and bude 10 minutes away food was good staff were very friendly"

"All good . But one think not good about Wi-FI an network not going"

"what an amazing place, the site the staff the entertainment team absolutely brilliant, we didn't want to leave, and can't wait to book again! our caravan was spotless and had everything you need, can not wait to see the hot tub option next year, how exciting! the pool was lovely, but bookings a bit of a pain when you just want to roam the area and luve by the moment, but when we fancied a dip we just drove the 3 min drive to the absolutely stunning widemouth bay! I've never really been interested in North Cornwall before or really travelled to South, but I have to say this area and site completely changed my mind, so much to explore and do, we can't wait to go again. can't wait to recommend it to everyone! thank you yo stripey Heather and the stripey team for making Sydney feel included and giving her amazing memories ?"

"Great location. Nice clean park."

"Very good and peaceful place. I would recommend to anyone."
