"Property was as listed, clean & comfortable and in a great location."
Host was helpful & accommodating. Would definitely recommend and would like to stay there again, perhaps in the summer months to take full advantage of the views, garden & proximity to the beach.
-
"We loved our stay at Happy Landing, it was clean, warm and comfortable."
Would happily stay there again. Perfect place for walking and chilling out
It was a pleasure to have you stay. Ros & Tim Property Owner

"Very clean, compact little cottage."
Good location for long dog walks on the beach. Great views from the garden across the bay. We had fabulous sunsets every night of our stay. The kitchen is compact, but the multi purpose combination microwave oven thingy did it's job as did the mini double hob. Roomy fridge, but no freezer compartment. Ideal for 2 on a short break. The walk along the beach into Harlech then back on the old Harlech road to the doorstep is about 5 miles and very enjoyable except for the hill up to the village. Y Gwyllt (the Wilderness ) cafe is v. dog friendly and has great coffee and pizza (and wool), and Y Groser has really good quality produce and excellent "proper" ready meals and the friendly owners will also deliver to the cottage.

"Fabulous breathtaking location."
Very happy we selected Happy Landing. Such a beautiful part of the world with amazing views.

"The cottage was absolutely beautiful, the minute we arrived we felt at home very comfortable and clean, and the view from the bedroom was wonderful, the cottage had everything you'd need except for one thing, no cooker, it did say there was no cooker in the description so we knew that going in so I'm not complaining!"
, I just love cooking lol, however we would love to visit again sometime the area was stunning.

"Our second visit."
Location is perfect for us. The views from the conservatory and garden are absolutely marvellous. Comfortable and cosy, we needed to use the gas fire on 2 evenings and this warmed the room beautifully. We will return!!
-
"Crockery needs replacing getting tired could do with a couple of pasta dishes."
Also no tin opener. But we had an enjoyable stay.
Hi. Feedback just noted, thank you. It would be helpful to owners if these things were mentioned during the stay, in order to allow us to replace items for you immediately. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time at Happy Landing, such a cosy cottage with brilliant sea views."
We loved sitting in the conservatory or by the fire having a coffee and reading and watching the sheep. A fab location and so close to beautiful beaches! Can't wait to come back!
Thank you so much for your great feedback! So pleased you enjoyed the cottage! We saw your lovely dog on the top garden a few times he seemed to be enjoying himself too :-) You're welcome back here any time, you left the cottage immaculate, thank you! Ros & Tim Property Owner

"The cottage is lovely and comfortable and the views are fabulous."
It is in a perfect location for visiting this coastal area and has amazing beaches within walking distance. This was our second visit and we shall definitely be coming back.
So pleased you enjoyed your second stay. You are perfect guests who left the cottage beyond immaculate upon departure Property Owner

"Happy Landings is such a warm and cosy place to stay in January."
The bed was very comfortable, and having a morning cuppa, while watching the sheep in the field opposite, was a chilled way to start the day. The sunsets and view down to Shell Island are stunning, as are the walks from the doorstep. As a solo traveller with a dog, it was reassuring to know that the owners where only next door if needed. I'm looking forward to my next stay
Hi. Thank you for your lovely feedback. You are welcome back here any time Property Owner

"Saw it had a welsh name, Bwthin y mor, disappointed it had been changed to an English name, why!"
. It was decorated according to the welsh name. Tv wouldnt work so had to call ownwer who came immediately to show us how it worked. From him, we discovered that there was no BBC channels, and that there was a firestick so there were lots of other things. We had no idea about a firestick, everything we tried to watch seemed to need a sky card or a prime account so we were stuck with the freesat minus BBC programmes. In the summer this would not be a problem, in the winter it was. There should be info on how to use these things as well. We didn't know how to use the microwave/oven and avoided using it, again no instructions. Seating was uncomfortable, small and slouchy whereas I need something that would support my back. (bed was also uncomfortable but this is a personal preference). No instructions on recycling so we guessed at what went where. No bin in the kitchen. Shower has mould growing and is very poor. Took ages to get soap from my hair as the shower wasnt powerful enough. Bathroom generally needs some modernisation
Hi. We are disappointed and quite upset to see you discovered so many issues with our lovely cottage. We are next door and would have happily assisted again with the TV if you had advised us that you were struggling. Full and comprehensive instructions for the combi microwave oven are on top of the microwave itself (I just popped round to the cottage to check they were there and they are). There is a kitchen bin underneath the sink. The blue recycling bins outside are clearly marked "paper / plastic & cans / glass". Sofas and beds are personal preference as you state. We take your point regarding the shower, it has been a long season with back to back guests as the cottage is very popular and we are aware that the shower needs re-grouting, which we will attend to. The bathroom and shower are cleaned thoroughly after each set of guests leave, so certainly no "mould is growing". "Happy Landing" is the business name we inherited when we bought the property, it refers to the history of the RAF base at Llanbedr... the cottage is legally registered with the Welsh name. We are sorry that you found no positives from your stay here with us, as we have received nothing but excellent feedback all season. Property Owner

"This is a beautiful spot and a lovely little cottage."
Our hosts Ros & Tim couldn’t have done more to make this short vacay more enjoyable. We both had a fabulous time, the dog loved the garden !! Llandanwg beach is a nice short stroll away, Harlech 5 mins in the car ! Absolutely perfect … and the sunsets would put the Med. to shame !! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you.
-
"Charming one bed cottage, one mile from Harlech."
Nice small conservatory at the front acts as a sun trap. Lovely view of the sea. The steep path down to the beach is a few minutes walk. Kitchen is small but functional.
-
"Lovely cosy pretty cottage in a great position overlooking Cardigan Bay."
Excellent views. Well equipped for 2 people with everything required for comfort.
-
"We had a most enjoyable stay the cottage is nice and cosy with some lovely touches in the decor."
The views from the garden and cottage are exceptional, we would definitely visit again should we travel in that direction.
Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you and having you to stay. Just out of interest how could we improve the facilities to obtain a 100% score? The feedback doesn't state any thing specifically... Many thanks Ros and Tim Property Owner

"Lovely homely cottage ."
Very pretty garden . Amazing views over Shell Island and the sea . Access to steps going down to Harlech beach is only a few minutes walk away. On our arrival , we found tea , coffee and cake as a welcome surprise . Everything we needed was provided . Would definitely return .
Thank you... it was absolutely lovely to meet you! Ros and Tim. Property Owner
-
"We enjoyed our stay very much."
The cottage was very comfortable but the photos of the conservatory need updating as furniture is different and a very friendly dragon has been added! Views and garden furniture is probably the best we have ever had. Owners very friendly.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it was a pleasure to host you both. So pleased you enjoyed... Ros and Tim. Property Owner

"Lovely property in good location with the lovely views, the property had everything we needed to enjoy are stay."
Thank you so much Steven! Very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Ros & Tim Property Owner
-
"Lovely property with fabulous views."
Very comfortable.
-
"A lovely property."
The only mild criticisms: we appreciate that space is limited in the kitchen, but a larger oven would be good, and maybe an integrated washing machine/tumble dryer, instead of just a washing machine.
-
"We did not stay."
We felt the property had an unpleasant smell, the owner did not agree and neither the owner nor your customer service team were prepared to accept this. Both just told us we were wrong. So we did not stay and could not receive any refund.
Thank you for your feedback. Regrettably you did not give me the opportunity to check the property before you left. After you departed, I had three independent people check the cottage. A surgeon, surveyor and a care worker, all people staying in other holiday accommodation. All three stated no smell whatsoever could be detected. Property Owner

"Excellent holiday cottage within an easy walk to Harlech and nearby beach."
Very clean and well equipped, lacking a normal size oven, but the counter top oven was all we needed. We’d definitely go back in the summer to make use of the outdoor space. Very cosy and perfect for a getaway. Highly recommended!
-
"A beautiful cosy, clean cottage with stunning sea views."
-

"Just back from a wonderful week at Happy Landing, what a lovely place, so close ..."
Just back from a wonderful week at Happy Landing, what a lovely place, so close to all local attractions but in a peace and tranquil setting with ever changing views to die for, Ros made us feel very welcome indeed and would highly recommend this lovely little cottage to anyone, we will be returning for sure
-
"Lovely, comfortable cottage with amazing views over the bay."
Well kept gardens all around with a stone wall around the bottom section but not fully enclosed so dogs need to be watched when outside. Owner lives next door and was very nice. We had a great week and would happily return.
-

"The Cottage is a charming, cosy and beautiful place with an incredible view."
There are several beautiful walks surrounding the cottage. They have a good supply of leaflets in the cottage to give you ideas for days out. We highly recommend going to the beach, it is beautiful and only a 5 minute walk! We will definitely be recommending this place to our family and friends!
-

"Great little cottage for two, very comfortable, had all you would need for a holday."
Great views from it over the bay. The sunsets were incredible! Well placed for exploring the area, with the Snowdonia park on the doorstep. Some nice places to eat in Harlech, which is just a mile away. The owners are very friendly and will help with the local area information.

"Lovely little cottage just right for the two of us and our dog and that amazing sea view, for us it couldn't be better for a peaceful holiday location."
-
"Happy Landings is a really lovely cottage and the views are simply sensational and to be so enjoyed whilst sitting in the front conservatory!"
Unfortunately in the UK the one thing you cannot plan for is the weather and sadly for us we endured the tail end of hurricane Ali for 2 days and nights and then torrential rain on a third day! BUT, despite the really scary gale force winds and torrential rain coming straight at us from the sea / Cardigan Bay, we felt really safe, warm and cosy in the cottage and returned home feeling rested and relaxed. On the good weather days we loved wandering around the little shops in Harlech town and journeying to shop in Porthmadog and Barmouth, thoroughly enjoying the drive to both places as the stunning coastal views are simply awesome! Our most favourite place was Llandanwg beach - really close to Happy Landings - and the first beach that our little dog Bonnie had ever been on. The Harlech area was new to us but we enjoyed a really lovely break and plan to return to this area as it is just so lovely.
-
"Location is perfect with stunning views."
Owner was welcoming and accommodating. It would have been useful to have additional kitchen items such as teaspoons, colander, jug, cheese grater and wooden spoons for the occasions when we did want to cook. Other than that everything was provided including chairs to use on the beach which were useful. Would recommend.

The property
Happy Landing is a wonderful seaside cottage set in the western part of the Snowdonia National Park, in the lovely little village of Llanfair.
This traditional Welsh cottage was built in the late 18th century and boasts stunning views of Cardigan Bay and is less than a mile from Llandanwg beach, which due to its location is shielded from the famous Welsh winds so you can enjoy the area even in the off-peak season.
With welcoming accommodation for two people, this could be the perfect romantic retreat for you and your loved one.
Wander through the serene front garden and enter the property into its snug conservatory area which makes for a fabulous spot to sit and admire the coastal views without the brisk sea breeze.
From here, step into the whitewashed cottage and be welcomed in by the homely open-plan living area.
This enticing space is dominated by a magnificent Inglenook fireplace placed next to the cosy two-seater sofa, a fine place to curl up and enjoy an evening in with your other half.
To the other side of the living area sits a charming and fresh kitchen, along with a delightful dining table looking out towards the picturesque coastline.
Take the stairs and be welcomed by the bright and spacious bedroom, a king-size bed is enhanced by dual-aspect windows and benefits from its own refreshing en-suite shower room.
To enjoy this surprisingly mild climate, wander out into the front garden, where a choice of sitting areas display wonderful vistas to sit and admire with a chilled drink.
Llanfair itself provides a café and some fascinating Slate Caverns, while the popular, historic town of Harlech is just one mile away.
This is a fine holiday base dominated by its ancient castle, it also comes with the beautiful Royal St David's Golf Club on it's doorstep.
A further two renowned Links Courses within easy reach make it an ideal destination for golfing enthusiasts.
Nearby there is something to suit every taste, awe-inspiring walking and cycling is available throughout the Snowdonia National Park, a day at the traditional seaside resort of Barmouth is also a must-do.
Bring your loved one to this fabulous seaside cottage to enjoy the rural wonders of North Wales.
