About this property
Newcastle Emlyn 3.3 miles. A quaint village cottage in the small hamlet of Capel Iwan in the undulating countryside of Carmarthenshire, close to the popular and thriving market town of Newcastle Emlyn with a selection of independent and antique shops and various little places to eat. The cottage is a perfect retreat for couples or small families looking to explore the fabulous local countryside, yet being close to a bustling small town and just twelve miles from the beautiful sandy beaches of West Wales. Set over two floors, there are two cosy bedrooms with a family bathroom. This is a deceptively spacious property with lovely character features and with plenty of room to relax, with a well-equipped kitchen opening out onto the patio and a spacious dining area leading through to a cosy sitting room where you can snuggle up in front of the TV. Outside, you can sit in the split-level courtyard-style garden and enjoy an early evening drink before popping into town for a bite to eat or perhaps planning the following days adventures.

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.

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.
