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

Eve, Cardiff

My Dad gifted me a trip to Bwthyn Gwe in St David's for my 30th birthday in July. We were luckily able to go in November after local lockdowns eased and I am so pleased we could. Being from Wales, St David's has always been a destination for a minibreak but this cottage made the experience even more brilliant than it usually is. We arrived to a warm, cwtchy cottage with lights on and fire all ready to light. The cottage wasn't just clean, but impeccable and smelt just like home. Comfiest bed ever, a home away from home. Highly recommend.


Martin, Oxford

We had a lovely time at this cottage in beautiful St. Davids. It has been restored and decorated to a very high standard and is very comfortable; the bed will guarantee you a great night’s sleep and the Rayburn will keep you warm and toasty on any cold day. There is a lovely garden and ample parking, the kitchen has everything you need and we were made to feel very welcome. The property was spotless and felt very safe with Covid precautions. Many of the restaurants in St Davids are booked up in advance at the moment, due to covid, so worth booking meals in advance.


Sarah, Hartley Wintney

What a complete treat to stay in this beautiful cottage.. set in the heart of St. David’s but quietly tucked away in a courtyard setting with views over The Cathedral.The cottage is very tastefully decorated and well equipped to an incredibly high standard. We were also very cosy with a Rayburn and a log burner. We enjoyed stunning coastal walks and some excellent food in local pubs and restaurants all a short walk from Bwthyn Gwe and can’t wait to return as soon as possible.


Zoe, Ludlow

My partner and I have just had the most perfect break at St David's. We fell in love with the little city but more over - Hamish's cottage. Perfectly located for having a mooch around. Tastefully presented, immaculately clean. We came home feeling well rested but with a heavy heart to leave. I could happily have stayed forever. Thank you for the most perfect weekend and thanks to Dawn ( lovely housekeeper). Kind regards Zoe Bradley


Carl, Swansea

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bwthyn Gwe, a great location for visiting St. Davids and the local area. The Cottage was spotlessly clean with fantastic facilities which made our stay highly enjoyable.


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.
