The Experience

Set off on a wind-buffeted hike along the coastal path from nearby Whitesands Bay and see the dramatic rocks and reefs which still pose a threat to boats passing through these tidal races.

You stay in a fresh little cottage in the heart of St Davids. It’s just right for a couple with its low-beamed sitting room, a big kitchen with a Rayburn and a wood-burning stove for cosy nights in.

Hop on a ferry to Ramsey Island from three miles down the road, walk a lazy mile to explore caves and rock pools at Caerfai Bay; surfers will head for Whitesands Bay just below. Return to a sundowner with cathedral views from the garden while something sizzles on the barbecue.

Reviews

Tracey, Hungerford

We had a wonderful week-long stay at Bwythn Gwe. The cottage is delightful - cosy, peaceful and a perfect base to explore the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coast. Every possible amenity is at your disposal in the cottage from books to maps of walks to Welsh cakes, to a delightful high garden overlooking the rooftops. The bed is comfy, clean and welcoming, the range gives off a lovely heat in the kitchen, the sofa comfy at the end of a long day of exploring. We sampled the local gin, took in many trips to Whitesands, a fabulous boat trip around Ramsay Island and more. We couldn’t have asked for more!


C, Ledbury

We had a wonderful stay in this very comfortable, spacious cottage. The cottage is cosy and well equipped having both a Rayburn and a log burner means you will not be cold even if the weather isn't favourable. It is near the centre of St. David's but still an easy walk to the Pembrokeshire coastal path so if you want to walk to the excellent local butchers or deli you won't need to use the car. The cottage also has off road parking which is rare for St David's.


Sonya, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage with great views of the cathedral from the back garden. The rooms in the cottage are furnished to a high standard and all the provisions you need are provided for - including delicious Welsh cakes on arrival! Dawn, the lady who takes care of the cottages was so warm and welcoming, as was Hamish. We felt we had people to turn to if necessary. The cottage is so perfectly located in the heart of the city with literally a two minute walk to all shops and pubs. Within easy walking distance are routes to coastal walks with the most stunning views.


Gill, Milton Keynes

We’ve just enjoyed a perfect week staying in the beautiful Bwthyn Gwe cottage in St Davids. The cottage is everything you could ask for and more, so cosy and homely with all you need for a relaxing comfortable stay. There was also a gorgeous garden to enjoy. We really couldn’t have picked a better cottage in St Davids and all ideally situated for the cathedral, shops and coastal walks. We were sad to leave and will definitely be returning.


Jaci, Caerffili

Fantastic week at Bwthyn Gwe. Excellent accommodation-first class.


Location

The neighbourhood

The cottages are a minute’s walk from the centre of a city that is charmingly small and unashamedly old-fashioned. Discover craft shops, food shops, restaurants and pubs, including the Farmer's Arms on the same street. The 12th-century cathedral, the finest in Wales, hides down a hill, and wonderful beaches abound – Whitesands, Caerfai, Abereiddi. Coastal walks are a ten-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Hamish Elvidge

  • Whitesand Bay is a wonderful sandy beach within five minutes drive and is great for surfing and sandcastles!
  • St Davids Cathedral is the focal point of the city and must be visited!
  • Great restaurants (for example Morgans and Cwtch) are plentiful in St Davids and the surrounding area.
  • A trip around Ramsey Island cannot be missed, to see the seals and, hopefully dolphins!
  • Abereiddi and the Blue Lagoon create a very unique atmosphere.
  • Pothgain is a unique, beautiful harbour, which has a really good restaurant (The Shed) and pub (The Sloop)

Introducing

Hamish Elvidge

The owners are Linda and Hamish Elvidge, and Dawn Hughes is the meeter and greeter. A native of St Davids, she is friendly and informative, and fiercely proud of the three cottages she cleans and the garden she so meticulously tends.
