  The cottage is in a nice location.

  It is in a quiet lane. No parking on that street for this cottage? But other cottages park on the street Parking is difficult, but a permit is provided. This didn't work well for us as my mom is 80 so there was a lot of moving of the car to make sure she didn't have to walk too far. Cottage was well equipped in the kitchen. Has everything you need. Bedroom with bunk bed was good and comfortable. Main bedroom was clean but bed was very uncomfortable. You can feel slats of bed through mattress. Bathroom is small but clean. Shower didn't work well for my 6foot3 husband. He couldn't stand up straight in the shower. Floors downstairs on arrival weren't cleaned well but overall was clean. May need the rug in living room cleaning as smelt of dogs. I personally moved it so my dogs didn't wee on it to cover other smells. Garden is small but useable. Shame there was no access to shared larger garden. Harlech is quiet. Has a few shops and chemist. No general store. Has Indian, Chinese and chip shop but only open certain days. Café on main square was really nice and did really good hot chocolate. Would we stay again? Probably not as not really suitable for our needs. Information folder in cottage needs a complete overhaul. Not been updated for a great deal of time. It looks as though other users of the cottage have done updates themselves!

  By far, the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in!

  We can’t praise this house, and it’s wonderful owner Rob, enough: the house is incredibly comfortable, stylishly appointed and equipped to a very high standard so that it really does feel like a luxury retreat away. Communication with Rob throughout was swift and helpful and the welcome treats on arrival were very generous and delicious- the Bara Brith was excellent! We were treated with sunny weather which made the views of Snowdon seen from the house all the more spectacular and the garden a joy to relax in. There is a short walk into Harlech easily navigated from the end of the garden, taking you up onto a bridle path which eventually leads you onto a road above the town where you are rewarded with breathtaking views over the castle, coast and the full extent of the mountain range- just beautiful! We had a very special time here as a family and intend to return next year to enjoy it all over again. We heartily recommend Llety Perygl for a relaxing and luxurious retreat away from it all in the most beautiful of Welsh surroundings - thank you Rob!

  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

  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.

  The cottage was listed as being 10mins walk from the beach.

  However it was actually 10mins walk down very steep roads then, 15 mins walk through the golf course and sand dunes. The walk back up was challenging unless you are super fit. One of the roads to the beach bears a sign saying "The Steepest Street in the World" and has a gradient of 37.5. The closest convenience store and the pub had closed down and the restaurants and takeways in Harlech were not open every day so it was necessary to drive somewhere to eat. The cottage was comfortable but in need of some refurbishment and there was no welcome pack or anything like that. There was some sketchy information about the local area but more detail would have been helpful if, like ourselves, you are new to the area. There was no visitors book with tips and info from previous guests. Although we wouldn't stay in Harlech again due to the lack of amenities, we would definitely visit the area again.
