This cottage was so awful we left after two days.. We contacted Sykes to complain. Skye’s contacted the owner and she said the cottage isn’t as bad as we said. Of course she was going to say that. Skye’s told us there was nothing they could do. We have a cottage booked through Sykes’s on the 1st of June which we are apprehensive about. We were told that a discount may be possible if we were to book again in the future but I assure Sykes that this will not happen. As yet we have not reviewed this cottage on trustpilot but rest assured we will be doing.
May we add that we were told we should have taken photos for evidence but as to how you photograph a terrible stench in the cottage, the tv not working,the heater not working and fusty bedlinen and towels
is baffling.

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***

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.
