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.
St Davids, Wales'smallest city, lies at the far end of the south-west coast of Wales.

Everything we needed was provided and this is the perfect base for relaxing and for visiting local attractions like St Davids, Skomer Island and The Blue Lagoon. Wouldn't hesitate to holiday here again.

The property is in a great location for exploring the area. Unfortunately we felt that the property needed a deep clean and a lot of updating. We read an earlier review about the shower room not having any heating but we were not aware that it was in a part of the house that has NO heating at all. Which made it extremely cold during the bad weather.

The one concern I had was the lack of a bolt on the shower room door.
