September 2020

“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.

Mrs Jones September 2020

“Very clean and cosy cottage in a lovely quiet area.”

Jenny is the perfect host

- Mrs Jones, September 2020
Mr Harvey August 2020

“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.

- Mr Harvey, August 2020
Ms Nussbaum July 2020

“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!

- Ms Nussbaum, July 2020
Mrs Burrows February 2020

“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.

- Mrs Burrows, February 2020
Mr Drinkwater December 2019

“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.

- Mr Standing, August 2019
Ms Smith June 2019

“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.”

- Ms Smith, June 2019
Ms Holway May 2019

“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.

- Ms Holway, May 2019
Mrs Morgan May 2019

“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.

- Mrs Morgan, May 2019
Mr Petch November 2018

“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.

- Mr Petch, November 2018
Mrs Bishop September 2018

“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.

- Mrs Bishop, September 2018
Mrs Gorstridge August 2018

“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.

- Mrs Gorstridge, August 2018
Mr Ross July 2018

“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).

- Mr Ross, July 2018
Mrs Wedlake June 2018

“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.

- Mrs Wedlake, June 2018
Mrs Cartwright June 2018

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

- Mrs Cartwright, June 2018
Mrs Morgan May 2018

“Great cottage to stay at.”

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

- Mrs Morgan, May 2018
Mrs Phillips April 2018

“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.

- Mrs Phillips, April 2018
Mr Thomas August 2017

“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.

- Mr Thomas, August 2017
Mr & Mrs Sawyer August 2017

“It is a long way from anywhere.”

Exactly what we wanted.

- Mr & Mrs Sawyer, August 2017
Miss Taylor July 2017

“Excellent property, lovely decor and finishing touches.”

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

- Miss Taylor, July 2017
Mrs Buczynska April 2017

“Fantastic place, lovely owner.”

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