“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
Alan September 2024

“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.”

Mark June 2024

“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.

- Mark, June 2024
Terence June 2024

“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!!

- Terence, June 2024
Isobel May 2024

“Crockery needs replacing getting tired could do with a couple of pasta dishes.”

Also no tin opener. But we had an enjoyable stay.

- Isobel, May 2024

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
Hayley April 2024

“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!

- Hayley, April 2024

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
Phil March 2024

“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.

- Phil, March 2024

So pleased you enjoyed your second stay. You are perfect guests who left the cottage beyond immaculate upon departure Property Owner
Samantha January 2024

“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

- Samantha, January 2024

Hi. Thank you for your lovely feedback. You are welcome back here any time Property Owner
Moira January 2024

“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

- Moira, January 2024

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

John August 2022

“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.

- John, August 2022
Ian July 2022

“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.

- Ian, July 2022
Deane July 2022

Alf July 2022

“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.

- Alf, July 2022

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
Peta July 2022

“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 .

- Peta, July 2022

Thank you... it was absolutely lovely to meet you! Ros and Tim. Property Owner
David June 2022

“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.

- David, June 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it was a pleasure to host you both. So pleased you enjoyed... Ros and Tim. Property Owner

Sarah March 2022

“Lovely property with fabulous views.”

Very comfortable.

- Sarah, March 2022
Nicholas January 2022

“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.

- Nicholas, January 2022
Mia November 2021

“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.

- Mia, November 2021

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
Adam October 2021

“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!

- Adam, October 2021
Sarah October 2021

“A beautiful cosy, clean cottage with stunning sea views.”

- Sarah, October 2021

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

- Michael, July 2021
Nicola May 2021

“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.

- Nicola, May 2021
Gerald April 2021

Kirsty October 2019

“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 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.

- Ryland, April 2019
Sue September 2018

“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.

- Sue, September 2018
Denise August 2018

“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.

- Denise, August 2018
