  • "This is a beautiful period property steeped in local history."

    It was so clean and had great kitchen/cooking facilities. The hosts live on the massive plot and can’t do enough to help you and make you feel welcome. We stayed with 3 children between the ages of 7 and 14 and we all had a great time and enjoyed our time in the property. Although wifi internet is provided, due to how wonderfully rural the property is, it is not strong enough to stream netflix. We had our PlayStation with us so just scoured the local charity shops for DVDs which the children loved! Would definitely recommend and would return.

  • "Had a lovely relaxing stay in Parke cottage, it had everything we needed and much more."

    The owners were very friendly and accommodating, the garden was lovely and was huge and it was a great base for exploring the nearby towns. It really was a home from home.

  • "What a find!"

    Olga and Stephanie are fantastic hosts and this characterful farm cottage is spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. On dry days the large pretty garden is a bonus and a lovely space to relax. A perfect base for exploring both Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. We'll definitely return.

The property

Whitland 2.7 miles.

Set within the small village of Henllan Amgoed, near Whitland in Carmarthenshire, lies this lovely 17th century farmhouse property, Parke Cottage.

Well-positioned next to a cows and sheep farm, and enveloped by charming towns, local attractions and 'must visit' landmarks, Parke Cottage is a family-friendly abode, sleeping up to five guests.

Arriving at off-road parking, travel towards the whitewash stoned property, ready to begin your getaway to South Wales.

Stepping into the cottage, you'll be welcomed by the country-style kitchen/diner, with exposed beams, wooden furniture, and traditional furnishings, delivering all essentials for a self-catering stay; you'll have all the expected amenities, including a highchair and travel cot, along with a washing machine, to freshen up after a nature-filled break.

Beyond here you will find the inviting sitting room, presenting the perfect spot for a relaxing night in, whether that's in front of the woodburning stove or TV; feel at home as you unwind with your loved ones, surrounded by character.

Heading towards the patio doors, be wowed by the breath-taking views, right on your doorstep, offering a peaceful setting for you to dine or simply unwind; hear the nearby bird’s tweet as you start your morning, or embrace the stillness as your evening progresses.

With dusk comes the chance to venture to the ground-floor bathroom, to conclude your day of adventure, before heading upstairs to two spacious bedrooms, ready to rest your head; choose between a double and a triple room, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, where you'll also find a first-floor cloakroom.

As the sun rises, plan your time in South Wales and head out to Narberth, where you'll find a plethora of bistros, shops, tea rooms and attractions, including The Angel Narberth and Fforc Welsh Deli; easing your stay with dine-out options.

For a day of activities, visit Pembroke Castle and complete a tour of its mediaeval grounds, stroll around Llwyngarreg Garden, and take in its colourful sea of plants and woodlands, or opt for a beach day at Llansteffan beach.

For a snippet of local history, discover Haverfordwest Town Museum and its interesting exhibits of social history, explore Laugharne Castle and its tales from 1116, or head to Abergwili Museum Park and see how the grounds have developed over recent years.

Gwili Steam Railway and its immersive onboard events, the ruins of Carmarthen Castle, and St. Catherines Island and fort are all recommended hotspots to explore in South Wales.

Experience them by choosing Parke Cottage as your Carmarthenshire dwelling.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
