The Experience
Thread your way down the winding streets of St Davids, Britain’s tiniest city, to this sturdy stone cottage, one of three. It is the furthest from the road, the closest to the garden, and has the best views, across rooftops and distant hills to Ramsey Island, breeding ground of peregrines and seabirds.
Explore the architecturally fascinating 12th-century cathedral – one of Britain’s finest – tucked in a hollow beside the river. The Bishop’s Palace lies on the other bank, an atmospheric ruin in which Shakespeare’s plays are performed on summer nights.
Hop on a ferry to Ramsey Island from three miles down the road, walk a lazy mile to probe caves and rock pools at Caerfai Bay; surfers will head for Whitesands Bay just below and you can hire kayaks at Abereiddi’s Blue Lagoon. Wander to the pub for supper or fire up the barbecue in the garden on summer evenings.

Bwthyn Lil is a lovely cottage set off the road in central St Davids. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and the tin of homemade Welshcakes was a lovely touch to welcome us. The lounge is lovely and cozy and the log burner worked well. We particularly liked the fact that there was plenty of wood available and more stored outside. The view from one of the double rooms is stunning, particularly on a sunny day. Having stayed in St Davids numerous times, I can confidently say that this is the best cottage I’ve stayed in. Diolch!

The cottage is furnished to an exceptionally high standard, was spotlessly clean and when we arrived Dawn dropped in to give us all the house information. Everything was as promised, with the heating on making it very warm and welcoming. And of course the view over the cathedral is second to none. Combined with good weather to take advantage of the spectacular walks, the lovely wood burning stove built up each evening to keep us warm and cosy, we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be back and will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family.

Absolutely brilliant. Very central in St David’s. Beautiful cottage that is incredibly well supplied and super clean. Comfy beds and soft towels. Cosy base from which to explore this beautiful part of the country. Thanks for all the recommendations, particularly enjoyed nights in by the fire! Could not recommend more highly

3 of us stayed a week in this delightful cottage, which was warm, comfortable and sparkling clean. The kitchen had lots of utensils for cooking, but this cottage is on the Main Street, where there are lots of good eateries. We had a local point of contact (Dawn), who was very helpful and we wanted for nothing. The brilliant weather helped make this a memorable visit, but Bwthyn Lil really felt like home. Top Marks to Hamish and Linda.

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 unqiue 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.
We stayed 5 nights in this beautifully designed and furnished cottage overlooking the cathedral. The location is brilliant, we walked to the coastpath on 2 days rather than get in the car and there are plenty of places to eat if you don't want to cook. If you do cook the kitchen is so well-equipped it makes it easy. There are lots of thoughtful extras provided. We loved the pictures on the walls and view from our bedroom window and there is a balcony for warmer times. The garden is really well cared for and designed to make the most of the space with 3 seating areas. Wonderful!
