Parke Cottage is a 17th century whitewash stone farmhouse in Henllan Amgoed, Carmarthenshire, South Wales. Sitting next to a working cows and sheep farm, this 5-star rated property sleeps five across two bedrooms. It's full of character exposed beams, traditional furnishings and a country-style kitchen/diner. The hosts Olga and Stephanie live on-site and guests consistently praise them.

The setting is deeply rural. You're 2.7 miles from Whitland and 6.6 miles from Narberth. The half-acre garden with patio and lawn furniture gets rave reviews. Views from the patio doors are breath-taking. It's a solid base for Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire beaches, walking and days out.

Two bedrooms sleep five: a double bedroom and a triple room with basin. Ground-floor bathroom has a bath, shower over bath, basin and WC. There's also a first-floor cloakroom. The sitting room has a woodburning stove with fuel included. No hot tub.

Pembroke Castle (22 miles), Folly Farm (18 miles), Gwili Steam Railway (14 miles) and Laugharne Castle (12 miles) are all within easy reach.

Parke Cottage suits families and couples wanting genuine countryside. Spotlessly clean, spacious and with on-site hosts who go the extra mile it's a proper home from home.
