The Experience

Enjoy a G&T in the pretty south-facing garden; sometimes you’ll have it to yourselves. You’re in the heart of Britain’s tiniest city with private lawns, brimming borders and views over the cathedral roof to the skyline.

A former farmhouse, there’s plenty of room, and games to play, round the wood-burner in the living room and at the big wooden refectory table in the kitchen, so everybody can help cook. There’s a quiet study if you fancy escaping with a book.

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 and you can hire kayaks at Abereiddi’s Blue Lagoon. There’s a downstairs shower room for de-sanding and a barbecue to fire up in the garden.

Reviews

Mary-Anne, London

The cottage is lovely, very spacious and very well equipped. Its position is great - in St David’s but also 19 minutes from Whitesands beach. We have been 2 years in a row and just love it!


Bobbie, Gloucestershire

What a fabulous property! It was the perfect base for our holiday - homely, super clean, comfortable beds, and very well appointment with everything we needed. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.


Alexandra, Reading

A wonderful little house right in the centre of St Davids. The house is wonderfully appointed, and at the same time very tastefully decorated! It is beautiful, clean and such a pleasure to stay there. It is in a wonderful location, right in the heart of St Davids. It also has parking which is a huge plus in a small city. The garden is beautifully cared for and lovely to spend time in. The lady who manages the cottages is excellent, and responds immediately if there are any issues. We have been twice and can't wait to go back soon!


Ann, Tallahassee

We enjoyed our stay at Hamish's cottage. Our rooms with private baths were amazing. The beds were super comfortable. We really enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and cooked many meals there. The view of the cathedral was a bonus!! We enjoyed the garden and the beautiful hydrangeas, rosemary and lavendar that were blooming. Saint David's is a friendly little city. The goat gallery was a favorite as well as meeting some locals who took us under their wing one rainy day at the wool factory!! The hiking was very convenient and amazing. We will be back to the Pembrokeshire coast and Hamish's


Karen, Oxford

This is our third stay at Ty Gwilym and as always it's a really relaxed holiday. The house is well equipped and perfectly located for walks and beaches in and around St David's. We had amazing weather and made good use of the lovely garden overlooking the cathedral. Comfy beds and plenty of space to spread out make it a great property for families.


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)
