Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Was very impressed with how clean the room was. Great staff in the pub."

D12 Treetops

6/10 Okay

"D12 treetops at Clarach bay is a lovely setting. Family friendly and lovely staff. We had hot water and good recycling facilities. The site was perfect. However, some of our bedcovers had chocolate on them!!! We found spares to use instead. The green headboard on the main bedroom had a strong smell of unwashed hair ( it seriously needs to be replaced). We had no WiFi and on enquiring we were informed the previous guests had used it up? There were plenty cleaning materials and cooking facility was ok. The mechanism for holding main doors open was broken. Very irritating with the wind. We enjoyed the swimming pool very much. The cliff walks are beautiful . D12 treetops Mobile home needs repairs and freshening up but we did enjoy our stay despite the smelly headboard. "
