North Devon Resort

North Devon Resort, formerly Ilfracombe Holiday Park under John Fowler, is a self-catering holiday resort on Marlborough Road in Ilfracombe, and it has no camping, touring or caravan pitches: accommodation is holiday apartments, studios and sea-view residences. If you are looking to pitch a tent or park a touring caravan or motorhome, this is not the place, as the site was rebuilt around serviced self-catering rooms rather than pitches. What it does offer is three tiers of accommodation, from budget studios and apartments through superior apartments to sea-view residences with private hot tubs, plus pet-friendly, pet-free and easy-access options. The resort sits on the North Devon coast in Ilfracombe, close to the harbour and the South West Coast Path, with the golden beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands a drive away and Exmoor National Park within easy reach. It suits families and couples who want comfortable, serviced accommodation by the sea rather than a camping trip. On-site facilities include an indoor heated pool open in peak season, kids' soft play and a gaming zone, a spa and sauna, and the Monkey Puzzle restaurant, cafe and bar serving locally sourced food. North Devon Resort is open year-round, and it is best booked direct.
