"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.

"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.

"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.

"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
I am sorry that your experience of staying in Bank House was not all that you hoped for. However in the description it clearly states that the nearest town with shops is 3.3 miles away and that Capel Iwan is a small hamlet. There is a map available which shows the location which is always helpful when choosing a cottage so that visitors are not disappointed or surprised on arrival. Researching the area would have shown that there is a Chapel nearby and so of course a graveyard on the far side of the village green.
Unfortunately whist I knew you were bringing one dog which is permitted at this cottage you brought two. In all Sykes properties, not just mine, no dogs are allowed upstairs or on the furnishings. These are simple requests which take into account that some guests may have allergies to pets.
Unfortunately you did allow your dogs to go upstairs and so created a lot of work to clear up the mess that was left.

"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.

"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.

"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.

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.

"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.

"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).
