About this property
Aberystwyth 3 miles. This comfortable detached chalet is on the elevated edge of the Clarach Bay Holiday Village, just a few miles from the bustling town of Aberystwyth. With views of Cardigan Bay and a short stroll to the beach, this welcoming chalet is an ideal base for families and couples looking for a home-from-home. Set all on one floor, this holiday home has two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds, both of which share a shower room. The hub of the chalet is the open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with French doors that lead onto a raised decked terrace overlooking the park, the nearby hills and views of the sea. What a lovely position to sit with a glass of bubbly and relax as you watch the sun go down over Cardigan Bay. The holiday park itself is well-maintained, with something exciting for everybody, including a clubhouse with three bars, heated indoor swimming pool, sports court, fun fair, childrens park and an indoor soft play. Further amenities on-site consist of a convenience store and a small selection of easy eating options, including a fish and chip shop so you won't need to travel far to get what you need. If you decide you still want more, then just three miles away is the bustling university town of Aberystwyth offering a wide range of shops, restaurants, cinema, beaches, walks and cycling opportunities. Clarach Bay Holiday Village is a fantastic base from where to you can enjoy the benefits that Mid-West Wales has to offer.
Aberystwyth is a university town situated on the west coast of Wales offering a number of shops, restaurants, pubs, tea rooms, museums, cinema, the National Library of Wales and a promenade on the sea front. The scenic 20 mile cycle route and footpath on the Ystwyth Trail, linking Aberystwyth to Tregaron, follows a wonderful woodland and river, and a trip on the steam railway from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge is a great way to visit the falls.

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.
