Our Reviews
Theo Moore
We stayed in one of Mathews caravans in Aberystwyth holiday village which was very clean when we arrived, Mathew was very helpful with anything we needed and the caravan was comfortable and roomy whist also being rather cozy. I would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a reasonably priced holiday. Aberystwyth it’s self is a stunning place and is has a range of things to do within a 5 minute walk from the caravan. Which entertained all of us and the dogs.

Heather Wall
Brilliant holiday as per usual. 2nd holiday at Borth, did Aberyswth at Easter booked Clarach Bay for October and next year. All caravans really are home from home. Amy and Matt are amazing.Thank you both.
Carol Smith
This is the second of Amy's caravans we have stayed in. We aim to tour round them all!! This caravan is immaculate, it has everything for a home away from home holiday, from fridge freezer to free WIFI. There is balcony with ample outdoor furniture & even a side garden if you have a dog. Our Henry loved it! The sunset from the balcony is amazing, overlooking the sea, the sky changes colour from this bright white to an glorious orange sunset. We spent a fair bit of time in and around Clarach but it is so central, we also travelled a bit further afield for days out. Its a perfect base. We couldn't fault our holiday at all and can't thank Amy & Matthew enough for everything. Would definitely recommend their holiday homes!
Tracey Johnstone
We have just had an amazing time at Clarach Bay. Caravan was absolutely beautiful, so clean and well equiped with everything you'd need. Also lots of space inside and out for the kids and dogs. Amy provided fantastic customer service and was very friendly and helpful. Would 100% recommend.....great place to keep the kids busy and my dogs loved the beach too. We will be back.
