Our Story
Happy Days Stays began with a simple idea: that time away should feel easy, comfortable, and memorable. What started as one family home has grown into a small collection of welcoming holiday lets across South Wales – from cosy stone cottages to modern townhouses and forest retreats.
We’ve hosted everyone from families making seaside memories, to contractors needing a reliable base, to couples looking for a quiet escape. At the heart of it all is the same goal: creating spaces where people can relax, recharge, and feel at home – whether it’s for a weekend, a work trip, or a longer stay.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about where you sleep – it’s about those happy little moments that make the stay special.
Our guests often tell us it’s the little touches that make the difference – the homely details, the thoughtful extras, and the sense that someone cares about their stay. That’s what Happy Days Stays is all about.
South Wales. Come and see for yourselves.
