Bank House

Loved everything about this cottage , including its location , and kind and welcoming host Jenny , would like to return sometime in the future it was a perfect fit for us and our little dog

The moment we arrived I could tell it was going to be a great place to stay.

Jenny was helpful and really friendly and had left milk, fresh eggs, homemade lemon drizzle cake and lovely wine for us. The property is deceptively spacious and beautifully decorated and furnished. Sadly we were there due to my mother’s funeral, but the house provided a peaceful haven from the stressful few weeks we have had. I am familiar with the village of Capel Iwan from childhood as I grew up in nearby Drefach Velindre. Capel Iwan is a small pretty village conveniently near the town of Newcastle Emlyn and places like Carmarthen, Cenarth Falls and the beaches, to name just a few attractions, are easy to get to from Capel Iwan. We hope to return one day for a proper holiday in happier times as we really felt at home here.

A lovely cottage to stay in.

It's very cozy and we had everything we needed. It's very quiet and peaceful and lovely to see a horse from the bedroom window.

This is the 4th time my sister and I have been fortunate enough to stay at Bank House with my 2 dogs.

Jenny is a Fab host and leaves lovely touches (this time we stayed around Christmas and there were decorations, lights and a little Christmas tree. Also mince pies, local cheese and biscuits, milk and wine!). Jenny is also always on hand should you need anything. Bank House is immaculate and beautifully done out. The beds are super-comfy and it’s sooo lovely to have a log burner! It is so peaceful there. Lots of lovely walks nearby - many mapped out by Jenny in her really useful info pack.Newcastle Emlyn is about 10/15 mins drive for shopping. Beaches around half an hour away. Poppit Sands being my favourite. The dogs loved them too. We are always sad to leave, but feel energised. We will Definitely be back and can’t recommend Bank House highly enough. Thanks again Jenny! ☺️

Beautiful spot to explore the County.

Accommodation was first class and well hosted. Alan and Carol

Great little cottage in a beautiful setting.

I have been visiting this cottage for many years and it is always a pleasure.

Bank House was a lovely cottage in a very quiet village, but within easy reach to many wonderful rivers and coastal areas.

The cottage was very well equipped and very clean. We had no problems on arrival and the owner left welcome gifts which we did appreciate. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed discovering the scenic surroundings. Thankyou. Alison

What a fabulous stay everything was perfect from directions to arrival to actual stay.

The owner was lovely, very responsive and had left us some home made cake (lemon drizzle yum yum), milk and eggs (from her own hens) as a great welcome. The property was beautiful and spotlessly clean, really well situated to reach land and beaches. All in all an amazing stay and for those of you with bigger parties the owner has another property next door which sleeps 6. Will definitely be back.

All was perfect !

Exceptional attention to detail, numerous small touches that provided well above average welcome.

Very comfortable, everything worked and to a high standard. Beautiful private outside space. Will definitely stay there again

Beautiful cottage, very clean , everything you need, jennys extras (cake milk eggs ) were lovely, such a good karma about the cottage.

Would love to go again and will recommend it to people. (Even dog treats left on window sill was a lovely gesture) .

Bank House was a lovely little house.

Full of character. Beautifully maintained and care shown to all details. Welcome goodies was a great addition. Thank you Jenny.

This is our 3rd stay at the lovely Bank House cottage.

Jenny (host) has paid amazing attention to detail with quality furnishings and accessories. There are thoughtful touches too, such as homemade cake and fresh eggs from her chickens. The cottage is immaculate, cosy and super-comfortable. Jenny is always on hand and responds to any queries quickly. We felt so relaxed there - like a home from home and will definitely be back again. Thankyou Jenny!

We arrived a bit later than anticipated but Jenny, the owner, met us shortly after we got there.

We have stayed here before (2 years ago) and the place had a few changes but still had character and was clean and welcoming. The gifts of eggs, milk, wine and cake were a nice touch. The cottage has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Bed was really comfortable and shower really good. We enjoyed the area and had wonderful weather. A lovely stay all round.

Bank House is beautiful, very relaxing and no expense has been spared.

Everything was very well thought out and it provided everything that you could need for a long or short stay. As beautiful as the cottage was, we wouldn’t return as there was nothing within walking distance to do, no local shops for essentials and no local pub/cafe/restaurant for meals.We spent a lot of time in the car! The cottage was full of cobwebs that had obviously been there a long time & quite a lot of dust throughout. Blackout blinds would be good in the front bedroom as there is a lamppost right outside and light streams through all night. Strangely a black out blind is provided in the living room downstairs though. We found cooking utensils still caked in egg in the utensil pot & breadcrumbs on the hob when we arrived but bins were immaculate! The thoughtful touch of milk, wine, cake & an Easter Egg was much appreciated but we did feel a little bit of pressure with the owner popping over to introduce herself. Also, the cottage is advertised as dog friendly whereas I would say it is dog tolerant. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture nor upstairs so if your dog sleeps with you at night, this is not the cottage for you. There is also a cemetery opposite the cottage which was a little unsettling and we ended up having our 12 yr old daughter in bed with us one night due to bad dreams about the cemetery so do take note if you have people of a sensitive nature in your group.

beautiful cottage, very homely and not like a holiday cottage Jenny was very nice and on hand if needed but did not need any thing great place for local walks from the cottage Natural spring opposite the cottage was very nice, with beautiful clear water

We had a lovely stay!

Everything you could need was provided. Comfortable, clean and very cosy! Would highly recommend

Cottage very clean and homely, had everything we needed, comfy bed.

Jennie the owner greeted us on arrival and was very friendly, hearing was on when we arrived which was lovely as cold evening, welcome goodies left for us and the homemade lemon cake was fantastic. Lovely places to visit in the area. Would highly recommend.

Our second stay at Bank House and it was absolutely delightful.

This really is a little gem and its location is superb, remote enough to be away from hustle and bustle yet within easy distance of Cardigan and Carmarthen and their respective coasts. The fully enclosed patio makes it a joy for dog owners as escape is nigh on impossible and they can be let out without any anxiety. Jenny is the perfect host, close enough if you need anything but not intrusive (and the lemon drizzle cake was lovely) Bank House is definitely now on our list of destinations for a relaxing week away.

The cottage was amazing home from home the welcome gifts of eggs cake and wine was a lovely touch our host Jenny was the best

Bank House was a delight.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped. Ideally located to visit this area of Wales. Jenny the owner is a lovely lady and very welcoming and lives nearby in case of any issues (of which there were none). The welcome supplies for dog and humans were an additional bonus. We will definitely return.

Beautiful cosy cottage with everything you would need.

Lovely peaceful location but within easy reach of bigger places like Tenby etc

We had a wonderful stay at Bank House.

Due to the very adverse weather we stayed in the cottage more than we normally would, which only made us enjoy the comforts even more. Many thanks Jenny for the delicious cake, eggs and wine. We will hopefully be back again next year.

A beautiful cottage for 2 or 3 people.

Very comfortable and well furnished. The main bedroom with its vaulted ceiling is a delight and a lot of thought has gone into the room lighting. The kitchen is well equipped with items such as electronic scales not usually found in holiday lets. The only small criticism was that the cooking utensils such as pans and bowls were sized for a larger group not a couple. The internet was very poor during my stay, worse than dial up, and I had no 3G phone connectivity. The owner says this is being addressed so hopefully others will have a better service. All in all a wonderful cottage with a delightful, helpful owner which I’d be happy to visit again.

Lovely place to spend time in.

Everything about it was top notch. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there as did our young dog who if she was able, would recommend it too!

Jenny was a perfect host,there to greet on arrival and departure.

She had left milk and eggs in the fridge with a delicious cake she had baked that day. The property is quiet and homely with all the comfort features you can think of with very comfortable furnishings. We visited 2 dog beaches within 20 mile radius and a lovely waterfall. If you want total peace and relaxation,please visit with a lovely host

Bank House is a lovely cottage, well appointed and equipped.

It is in a quiet rural village but not far from many interesting places. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

Jenny is a truly caring host.

A lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need including the most comfortable bed ever.

Only let down was limited tv channels for evening viewing. Wonderful owner who couldn't do enough for us and the welcome pack was lovely especially the home made cake.

A lovely comfortable cottage.

Quiet village but pretty and some nice walks. Thank you Jenny for the milk, eggs and the bottle of wine. Shower was powerful, bed comfortable and overall a homely cottage. Nice little back garden, could do with a barbecue. We had such lovely weather a bbq would have been nice. Fabulous beaches, castles and countryside all in close proximity from the cottage. We enjoyed our week and the weather certainly helped but the cottage would be cosy what ever the westher I sm sure as it has heating and a log burner. Not that we needed them. We will be back. Thank you xx

A well kept cottage with all of the equipment required for an easy stay.

Jenny met us on arrival with gifts of fresh eggs, milk and wine. Beautifully decorated and comfy bed. Excellent stay.

A beautiful cottage, very comfortable and a perfect base for our exploration of South Wales.

Be aware that if you rely on the internet for business purposes or keeping in touch with international family the service at Bank House is very inadequate, however if you are after a complete get away this is not an issue. As Aussies we appreciated the Australian Shiraz too Jenny. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

Just Wow….

What a wonderful haven from the everyday hustle and bustle this place is, and Jenny (the owner) is lovely. Hadn’t been to this area of Wales for 30 years, and I don’t think we could have picked a better place to stay. Nice secure patio area for the dog to be able to go outside, and the cottage is laid out beautifully. Hunkering down with the log burner blazing on days where the weather was against us was absolute bliss. Definitely one to book again when we decide to revisit the area, five stars aren’t enough.

This was our second visit to Bank House and it didn’t disappoint.

A beautiful home with absolutely everything you need for a wonderful break. And quite possibly the comfortiest bed ever! Jenny is a wonderful host, thank you so much for the lovely goodies - delicious lemon cake! Bank House is the perfect location for exploring, we enjoyed days out to Cardigan, Aberporth, Cenarth Falls, Ffynone Water Falls, Dyfed Shire Horse and Folly Farm! We very much look forward to our next visit ❤️

The cottage is very well equipped,nice and cosy and well maintained.

Jenny was very helpful throughout our stay and the wine,cake and eggs left for our arrival were a lovely touch.She even let us check out her other cottage next door.Wouldn’t hesitate in booking again if we are in the same area.

We came for a week with our little dog Boo.

We had a fab time the cottage had everything we could need.It was so cosy. Thank you for the cake and other welcome items. The location is perfect very quiet and no traffic. Was great our dog could go to the green off lead from the front door. We even had a little snow as icing on the cake. Only disappointment was we had to go home.

We really enjoyed our stay in Bank House.

The cottage is very comfortable and we appreciated a lovely welcome pack including homemade cake.

A cosy and comfortable cottage.

It is fully equipped with everything you need. Great for countryside walks and trips to the coast.

Bank House is an amazing little cottage situated in a tranquil country village, surrounded by beautiful Welsh valleys.

If you are looking for a peaceful getaway that is reasonably priced, Bank House is the perfect cottage to choose.

Hi, bank house is a lovely cottage had everything we needed, Jenny was a lovely lady ,which made our stay extra special, a nice bottle of wine, and cake and other bits was waiting for us when we arrived, which was a nice gesture, so thanks very much Jenny .

Will hopefully be back again. Liz dick and Dennis .

Fabulous cottage with all the home comforts.

Lovely welcome of homemade cake, wine milk and fresh eggs. Would recommend this cottage to everyone. Just perfect

Great cottage.

Loved the welcome gifts especially the eggs and homemade cake. Had everything we needed to make our week comfortable and relaxed. Would definitely return again.

Beautiful & cosy cottage in a lovely village location, lovely aspect completely unoverlooked with beautiful open views to the rear of the property.

Once you're inside you don't feel like you're in a terrace, the exterior walls (16" thick) and deep double glazing keeping out all noise from outside. Not that there was much as it's such a peaceful spot, but during our stay workmen arrived to carry out some maintenance on the electricity cables in the village and about 12 of them turned up in about 6 vehicles with a generator which was set up near the little green opposite the cottage, and we didn't hear a thing, we woke naturally and when I pulled the curtain back I couldn't believe all the activity. They were only there a day but it certainly put the soundproofing of the cottage to the test! This is one of the best & most thoughtfully equipped cottages we have ever stayed in, there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided - even tea & coffee and tin foil, cling film & kitchen roll. And there were even dog bowls & treats provided for your four-legged friend. Lovely & clean and a super bathroom with impressive shower - great water pressure too! The personal touches like lemon cake, wine & eggs from the owner's chickens were greatly appreciated. We didn't use the log burner in the end as the central heating was so efficient and we even had to turn several of the radiators down. Loved the charming & cosy decor and particularly loved the artisan rustic furniture, all very in keeping with the lovely character of the cottage. Very comfortable king size bed. Lovely dog walk straight from the door down a traffic free lane, all the way down to the river, but be warned, you have to climb back up! Newcastle Emlyn 10 mins drive away, lots of lovely shops including a butcher, an organic produce shop where we bought some artisan sourdough bread. The Cardigan Bay coastline is 30 mins drive away & we had a lovely coastal path walk to Tresaith. All in all, an excellently equipped, delightfully cosy cottage in a peaceful, get-away-from-it-all village setting but only 10 mins from 'civilization' and 30 mins to lovely beaches. Perfect for a couple or a couple with one child/teenager. Can't recommend highly enough. We will be back!

Beautiful cottage in a very quiet village.

Cottage is beautifully decorated and nicely furnished from the furniture to the large thick fluffy towels. Jenny is a perfect host and on arriving there is a lovely gesture of the welcoming hamper. Would highly recommend Bank House.

A very clean and comfortable house, well equipped, and with a small private back garden that was very useful in the recent hot weather.

The location is pleasant and quiet - it's about a 5 minute drive into Newcastle Emlyn (shops, pubs, eating places) and around 25 minutes to Cardigan, and the coast. Jenny lives close by and was very friendly and helpful and we would recommend this let for a couple or a small family.

just amazing

The house was extremely comfortable.

The only thing was the stairs, the top few steps were different heights but we managed. If we were a lot younger, it would not have been a problem! We had a fabulous time there. The owner is amazing, nothing too much trouble and lotsof lovely goodies awaiting on our arrival! Fabulous, we will be going back.

Lovely return stay at Bank House, a real home from home

jenny was on hand if we needed her,but respected our privicy .

kitchen was well stocked with utensils required for cooking.eggs and homemade cakes on arrival was a nice touch.certainly would return in the future.chris and yvonne,

Bank House is an absolute gem.

Clean, comfortable, very spacious and equipped with everthing you could want. Jenny was a great host and the welcome pack was much appreciated. An ideal base for touring the local area.

Very clean and comfortable cottage with a lovely view from the rear windows .

Everything you need and more in this cottage plus a welcome gift of cake and wine was a lovely touch .Not much in near walking distance 3.2 mile is walkable to the centre with cafes and shops ,pubs but we used the car also a good central position to many nice places we went to Tenby , Saundersfoot , Poppit sands beach , New Quay and Aberystwyth.

I highly recommend this cottage

A lovely cottage and owner Jenny can not do enough for you always on hand if needed.

Set in a hamlet, all facilities are in the town of Newcastle Emyln roughly 3 miles away, you can get all that is needed there. There are beautiful walks and drives out to many places including the coast is only 30minutes away. The cottage does make you sit back and catch your breath, quiet,very relaxing, and a lovely little private garden area at the back, also dog friendly and secure. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, the shower room is great with a lovely view to add! We can not complain about a single thing we have had a lovely holiday and would return here again, would highly recommend it to anyone. Kath

This is a lovely property, I visit every year.

Bank house is very comfy, clean and has everything you need. I will return again next year. Jenny the owner is very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble, that’s if you need anything else. The property is well maintained. The country side is outstanding.

A luxurious gem of a cottage, wonderful hospitality and would 100% recommend.

We have stayed in lots of cottages over the years and this by far has been my favourite.

Bank House is a beautiful cottage with everything you need and more. Thank you to Jenny for such a warm welcome and all our goodies, which was very much appreciated (Jenny’s lemon cake is amazing!). We have had a wonderful week exploring the area, it really is a beautiful part of the world. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home ❤️

The cottage three miles from Castle Emlyn, sat in the middle of large village, with no shop or pub.

Could hear no traffic noise. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, supplied with many kitchen utensils. Central heating and log fire kept us warm.Small sunny back garden. Parking was not recommended outside, but able to park outside Chapel on green opposite, so no problem. We spent a pleasant week there.

We have stayed in many holiday accommodations over the years and I can honestly say that we couldn't fault Bank House.

Jenny was lovely and totally accommodating when we couldn't go on the Friday due to storm Eunice she allowed us to stay one further night so our holiday was not shortened. The welcome items were wonderful even to the toiletaries in the bathroom such as hand cream and shower gel. We had a lovely time and would definately return.

Absolutely everything about this cottage is perfect.

This is literally the best cottage we've ever stayed at. The location, the facilities, the cottage itself are all 10/10. We spent new year here and had a lovely week exploring the local area. Newcastle Iwan the closest village, has everything you need and is a really pretty little village with lots of interesting quirky shops. Jenny the owner is lovely and so very helpful. We all really enjoyed ourselves immensely. Would love to come back again. Thank you.

Christmas wouldn’t be the same anymore if we didn’t stay at Bank House!

Perfect house, perfect setting, perfect hostess!

Second stay at this cosy and modern cottage.

Lovely log fire, large roomy kitchen and wonderful shower. Jenny the owner was more than generous with her home baked lemon cake on arrival with fresh eggs, milk and lovely chocs. Another large bag of logs left for us midweek too, such a kind and caring lady always on hand if needed. Would definitely stay again if in the area. lovely part of wales to visit, stunning scenery. cottage is located in a lovely quiet village, peaceful and relaxing. Thank you to Jenny.

The cottage was a lovely and cosy which had everything you could need included .

the owner Jenny was very friendly and changed the gas straight away when it ran out.the cake and when and fresh eggs also went down very well would highly recommend

Bank House was a real home from home for us and the lady owner couldn’t have been more obliging we would certainly recommend anyone to give it a visit Tenby, Cardigan and poppet sands where lovely and our dog loved the beaches .

We were looking for a peaceful and quiet stay, but not having to travel too far to be able to enjoy this part of Wales.

We certainly found it in Bank Cottage.

Lovely dog friendly holiday cottage, well maintained by a welcoming and generous host.

Quiet village location with rural walks nearby. Ideally situated to explore the best of the West Wales coast. We are sure to return.

The details of the cottage were misleading,it shows a picture of a river which looks near cottage but its at least 1hours walk if you are able, opposite the cottage is a grave yard which we were upset about as both having lost partners were the last thing we wanted on our holiday ,although it takes a dog the owner is not dog friendly, lot if rules about what dogs must not do!

Don’t take dogs if you try to impose these rules… the stair carpet needed replacing and the bedroom curtains had holes in them also the hand rail was really sticky as if it had been repainted and as the stairs are quite steep you really need the rail so as not to trip,the cottage is a distance from shops etc and is quite isolated would not recommend

Jenny knows how to welcome you to her cottage, which after a bad experience last year, surprised and delighted us with her attention to detail.

Bank Cottage ticked all the boxes for us, comfortable sofas and bed a brilliant shower, and really pet friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and spent more time in the cottage than usual as it was a real home from home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bank House to anyone who wants real home comfort in a quiet village with great walks.

Lovely clean cottage had everything we needed, friendly welcoming host!

We spent an idyllic week staying at Bank House and Jenny the owner was brilliant, nothing is too much trouble for her.

On arrival we found treats such as home-made cake, fresh eggs from her hens, fudge, milk etc. Arriving at 10pm these were a welcome surprise. The cottage is a delight, a real home from home, immaculate and comfortable. There are some lovely walks from the cottage itself and yet beaches and the sea are a short drive away. If you are looking for a relaxing break in a cosy and peaceful cottage set in an area of natural beauty, choose Bank House. We will definitely return.

Bank House was a delight, beautifully appointed with welcoming goodies.

It is in a lovely unspoilt area. We had a very relaxing week.

Jenny was a fantastic host and I'd definitely rebook again!

Jenny the owner was so lovely and generous, probably the best host we have met on a cottage holiday.

... She was friendly and nothing was to much for her....we would love to return one day, the cottage was beautiful, modern and immaculate.

very clean and cosy cottage in a lovely quiet area.

Jenny is the perfect host

Lovely cottage in a really quiet location.

Ideal enclosed garden for the dog. The owner Jenny left us the nicest lemon drizzle cake I've ever tasted and some milk, eggs (from her chickens) and flowers. Despite being terraced, you couldn't hear a thing from either side as those walls must be a couple of feet thick. Its a great location, ideal as a base and I would highly recommend.

Bank House was absolutely gorgeous.

Beautifully decorated and furnished with lovely personal touches. Jenny was always on hand if we needed anything and made us feel very welcome. In such a quiet hamlet - perfect to get away from it all, but only a few miles from town. Lovely countryside and walks. Only short drive from local beaches too. Would Definitely recommend and will be coming again. We didn’t want to leave!

Bank House is a real gem of a property to stay in, particularly in the cooler months.

Beautifully decorated, great features and home comforts, cosy log-burning stove, plenty of mod cons but in the surroundings of a traditional cottage. Jenny’s finishing touches of fresh flowers, home made cake and freshly laid eggs are the icing on the cake, alongside a personal but unobtrusive welcome after arrival.

This was a Christmas booking and the cottage had been decorated perfectly for us.

We were also welcomed with homemade cakes, wine and mince pies. Perfect. Thank you.

Very clean, everything we have at home and in a brilliant setting

The owner went out of her way to make us welcome and it is such a lovely out of the way cottage, but lots of places close by to see lovely walks.

Simply beautiful secure dog friendly cottage set in an idyllic peaceful location.

Lovely decor and furnishings, spotlessly clean with thoughtful touches. Welcome pack upon arrival was much appreciated. Jenny the owner made us all feel very at ease and was fantastic with our staffy bull. Thank you so much.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

This was our 4th visit to Bank House and we hope to visit again next year. We took our dog this time and he was made very well and we had some beautiful walks.

Bank House is the best equipped and cleanest holiday cottage we have stayed in.

Jenny really makes you feel welcome and takes care to make the cottage cosy and comfy. The double bed is seriously comfortable. A few great walks straight out of the front door.

Bank House is extremely well equipped, every consideration made for guests, even four legged ones.

The standard of decor and comfort is outstanding. Owner Jenny is very welcoming and friendly.

Very peaceful location.

The house is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. It's location is approx 3 miles from any shops and the beach is only 12 miles away.

What a lovely cottage!

Bank House is the middle of a terrace of cottages but we never heard any noise from the cottages on either side. The facilities were wonderful and he rural setting was a big plus. It's only a few minutes drive from Newcastle Emlyn but it feels very secluded. The kitchen was excellent and my wife loved the gas hob (our teenage daughter was more impressed with the wi-fi for streaming videos). The cottage is in an excellent location for Cardigan and the coast (we had some lovely afternoons on the beach).

Lovely cottage, everything needed was provided and more.

Friendly owner who left us fresh eggs and home made cake, gorgeous!, Will definitely return to this cottage, its in a very peaceful location but a short drive to numerous beautiful beaches.

Cigarettes butts left in plant in garden cider can and glass left in bedroom for the last people who was there.

Great cottage to stay at.

This was our second time at this cottage and hope to stay again next year. Home from home.

The cottage was absolutely delightfuĺ.

In fact if were possible we would have taken it home with us!! The only downside was that the location was somewhat remote although even that was not that much of a problem. I would recommend this cottage to any group of 2 (plus dog). During our stay we managed some lovely walks, although ee did not manage to tire our dog overmuch. Highly recommended. And the welcome eggs and home made cakes were very welcome.

Very nice cottage and if you are looking for total peace that is the place to be.

Home from home definitely recommend the Bank House.

It is a long way from anywhere.

Exactly what we wanted.

Excellent property, lovely decor and finishing touches.

Felt very comfortable and suited our family needs. Lovely friendly owner, have already recommended to family.

Fantastic place, lovely owner.

It was close enough to all the places we wanted to visit. We hoping to come back soon.
