  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 is 10/10.

  Full of character yet has all modern amenities and furnished to a very high standard. It is clear the host has taken great care in putting everything together - it’s a very comfortable & cosy place. We were welcomed with some lovely fresh bread, eggs, bottle of wine and delicious Welsh cakes! The main bedroom has a very comfy king size bed and the bathroom is modern with a huge tub. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The garden (front & back) is secure which our puppy loved being able to explore in. All in all, cannot fault this place - it’s a true gem in the heart of Harlech. Walking distance from the castle and lots of eateries & shops and a 5 minute drive from Harlech beach which must be the most beautiful beach we’ve seen in the UK. We would love to return to this little cottage someday for another little getaway.

  The flat is bright, clean and spacious.

  It was also warm and draughtproof while Storm Darragh was raging across the Welsh coast. I notice that some guests have complained about a smell of drains. Clearly the cleaners had taken this to heart, as the shower room had been vigorously bleached prior to our arrival. We had no problems at all with any smell of drains during our stay. It is worth noting that this particular flat is at the back of the building and therefore does not have a view of the castle. Small issues: the mechanism of one of the blinds in the bedroom was faulty. We ended up leaving it down! And the freezer compartment in the fridge is solidly iced up (I see this problem has been mentioned before). It really needs to be switched off and defrosted completely between lets. Hint to owners: if a broom/mop/hoover had been provided we would have been happy to use these before we left!

  Very lovely stay at Tan Llech.

  Chris was brilliant and text us before we arrived with lots of helpful information and was also super helpful in getting the WiFi to work. Thank you. It was super clean and comfortable and a short walk from the train station, which was perfect as we arrived by train and spent the weekend exploring the beautiful area by train. It’s also at the bottom of the world’s steepest street which we were relieved about! We did climb it but without our bags and visited Y Groser at the top to get a very nice tea and other Welsh food goodies. There is also a shop opposite the train station if you don’t fancy climbing up the world’s steepest street. The only additions to the cottage we would suggest would be a cafeteria and a dust pan and brush (both very minor). We would definitely return for another visit. Thank you.
