Very nice and warm only one issue with the shower tray fills up and doesn't run away quickly enough the toaster had melted on the bottom looks like someone put it on the hot stove but it still worked okay love the chalet it's been 3 or 4times we've had it now must speak volumes

"Great location with fantastic views."
Owner communicated well with us and left us some complimentary Welsh cakes and wine on arrival. Site was well maintained and the facilities on offer such as swimming pool, site shop and club were lovely. Fab location to explore the local area from. Dislikes - the property was 11 minutes away (fast walk) from the beach not 5 minutes as stated on the booking page. We had mice during our visit. Owner arranged for traps to be set but no one came back to check if the traps had been set off and nor was a clean offered. As such, we could not use two of the cupboards nor the toaster for remaining duration of our stay due to mice droppings and bits of plastic which had been chewed. The shower tray filled up with water when being used within minutes. Again notified the owner who was sending a handyman around to check the traps but at this point we decided to leave. No hand towel, no shower mat (crucial for safety when exiting and also to try and keep the water in one place) and no hand wash to use on arrival. Disappointed that Sykes also did not contact us after complaining about the mice to check we were okay.

"Beautiful scenery."
Very relaxing time.. Only a very short drive to Aberystwyth which had plenty of shops and lovely beach. We did not want to come home. Definitely going back again.

"As 70 year old, Smarty's view as just an ideal place."
If we looked left we could see the seafront, and elsewhere we could see the rolling hills of Mid Wales. We were able to visit old haunts such as Bwlch Nant Yr Arian where the Red Kites are fed every day and is such a spectacular sight. We were able to take wonderfully scenic walks along the coast. We re-visited the Wednesday market in Machynlleth where we bought several bargains as usual, and enjoyed Cod and chips from an award winning fish & chip shop at the top of the High Street. I would very highly recommend this holiday let to anyone who enjoys nature and great scenery. Diolch yn Fawr to the owner Dawn! In English, I just said Thank yo so very much for a most wonderful week.

"The chalet was lovely & cosy, the location was excellent."
Situated on a large clean holiday park, next to the beach. The owner Dawn was extremely helpful, with all the information we required for the holiday. We would definitely recommend the chalet to our friends & family. Hopefully returning early next year. Sue & John (From Burnley) September 2020.

"A lovely chalet."
I t had stunning views of the sea and the countryside. It provided a good base for us as we met up with friends in Aberaeron. it is handy for visiting Aberystwyth and surrounding areas. Clarach bay is a good family site with things to do for both young and old so is perfect for families (and pets). We look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

"We had a lovely time."
The site is lovely and the view from the chalet was beautiful. The beach is secluded and good for dog walking. We will go back to this site again in the future. It’s ideal for any dog owners as everyone is pet friendly.

"A lovely area to holiday."
The chalet was as described. It has recently been redecorated, following a lovely seaside theme, so much brighter than the photos show. There are fabulous views from the chalet and beautiful sunsets. The area itself has lots of things to do for all the family (plenty of information is provided in the chalet), all within easy driving distance, great coastal walks. The reception staff on site were helpful and polite, and while we didn't use any of the sites entertainment facilities, there appeared to be a decent choice for families.We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here.

"The chalet was clean and comfortable and its situation within the park was lovely with fantastic views over the countryside and Cardigan Bay."
The site itself was very well maintained, clean and tidy. *We are grateful for your complimentary feedback regarding number 18 and the standards of both the property and the site as a whole. We thank you for your comments and hope you will return in the future to continue to enjoy the fabulous views and ambience of Clarach as a whole. We have passed your comments on to our cleaner who only started that week so it is especially good to know that his standards are high also. *** Owner Response*** *We are grateful for your complimentary feedback regarding number 18 and the standards of both the property and the site as a whole.

"Car parking space hard to access ."
this property is NOT suitable for people with mobility problems *********** Owner response *********** Each chalet is allocated an off road parking bay for guests adjacent to the property. In this respect the parking and access to it is no different to any of the other properties on the park. The only discrepancy with Number 18 is that the access to parking is shared with that of number 19 who have no other way to access their parking other than the grassed area between the properties, as such guests are directed to park at the rear of the chalet so that number 19's guests are able to park at the rear of their property. They then need to walk just a few steps on grass to access the few shallow steps to the side door in order to get into the property.

"Not happy with having dog hairs on the bedding."
**************** Owner response ****************** Dog hairs being left in the property is unacceptable. If we were advised of this during the Mr Malik's stay, I would have contacted the cleaner and arranged for them to go back and rectify this. The guests prior to him did have dogs with them as part of their booking and were told not to allow the dogs onto the beds or furniture. After reading read this comment we travelled to Clarach at our first opportunity to check on the condition and cleanliness of the property. There were no dog hairs visible even before the cleaners had attended for that changeover. We again checked the property after the team had finished their work and made sure that everything was clean, beds had been made and clean towels had been set out for the incoming guests. Cleanliness and presentation of our property are very important to us and to our guests. If we are made aware of an issue we will always make every effort to rectify it. On this occasion we were not advised and only received this a week later on Sykes' Website and then took steps to ensure that expected standards had been reinstated.

About the location
ABERYSTWYTH
Borth 7 miles; Aberaeron 16 miles.
The ancient market town of Aberystwyth, can be found settled on the west coast of Wales. With its name meaning 'the mouth of the river Ystwyth' and set on the west coast of Wales, it offers an abundance of beautiful waters, perfect for watersports or a simple stroll along the Victorian promenade on a summer's day. The town offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants, pubs, tea rooms, museums, cinema, and the National Library of Wales, providing something for every taste. The scenic 20-mile cycle route and footpath on the Ystwyth Trail, linking Aberystwyth to Tregaron, follows a wonderful woodland and river. A trip on the steam railway from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge is a great way to visit the falls. The seaside resort of Borth is just 7 miles away, with its 3 miles of sandy beach and an Animalarium to keep all ages amused. With the ruins of Aberystwyth Castle close by, welsh craft centers and stunning countryside to explore, this is a perfect base for a well-deserved break
