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.
Llanfair quietly nestles between the foothills of the Rhinog mountains and the golden beach of Harlech. Boasting its own mild climate due to its unusual positioning, and an array of wildlife and birds, this village is an ideal base for scenic walks in the surrounding countryside.

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.
