About this property

A comfortable detached farmhouse in the area of Croesgoch, on the road to St Davids, the smallest city in the UK. This charming St Davids cottage offers spacious accommodation, ideal to switch off and enjoy this beautiful part of Wales. Bank House Farm is a perfect size for family holidays; the property has a large kitchen/diner, two sitting rooms and a small reading area, giving everyone the opportunity to find their own space or gather together for quality family time. With the bonus of a woodburning stove in one sitting room, holidays can be enjoyed here all year round. The two double bedrooms and the single bedroom have wonderful views over open countryside and for the younger children at this there is the unique twin bedroom in the eaves off the main stairs which feels almost like an "indoor den". With a pretty outside sitting area with furniture, a BBQ and views over beautiful countryside as far as the sea and Strumble Head, this is a fantastic cottage for relaxing in the summer months. St Davids is one of the prettiest places in the UK with the magnificent cathedral and an array of unique little gift shops, tea rooms, pubs and bistros, making it a wonderful day out. Venture out to sea on dolphin and seal spotting trips, enjoy the wonderful sandy beaches or why not just enjoy the walks from this St Davids cottage itself to discover the wildlife, scenic views and maybe enjoy a meal at The Sloop Inn overlooking the pretty harbour - renowned for its fresh fish menu. Whatever you want from your holiday, you will be sure to find it at the homely Bank House Farm.

Lovely to have two rooms to spread out in; kept one as a âquiet roomâ for those not wanting to watch tv. Comfy beds; loved the Welsh wool blankets! Good position, handy for beaches and St Davidâs. This was our second time here.

Toilets & bathroom & shower room downstairs, headroom a bit small in bathroom but didn't bother us at all. Its not a modern holiday home and that was a plus for us. Outside area surrounded by beautiful views, cows as neighbours & lovely quiet country lane. Wifi wasnt perfect on tv but again, it didn't detract us, it's what you would expect from its location! Plenty of fridge & freezer space & kitchen parapherlania etc & parking space. The lady owner I spoke to on the phone was really nice and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the area and wouldn't hesitate in staying/booking there again. Thank you once again to the owners

It was really cosy, warm, clean and comfortable and very peaceful. The kitchen had all the facilities that you could possibly need. There was plenty of space in the house and was decorated really well. It was close to most places with plenty of walks around. The Coastal path was really close with beautiful scenery and there were stunning sunsets seen from the back of the house. A trip to Ramsey Island is recommended. Would definitely return. Brilliant holiday.
