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

Ian, Winchester

A high quality cottage in St Davids with a superb cleanliness. Important in these Covid times.


Natalie, Swansea

We had a lovely stay at Ty Gwilym cottage for 4 nights. The cottage is absolutely beautiful, was extremely clean and there was everything you needed and more whilst staying there. From booking to leaving, it was all very easy and always so friendly - not forgetting the Welsh cakes on arrival! We cannot wait to book and go again next year.


Ed, Bristol

We have been staying at Ty Gwilym for about 10 years now and we love the place. It feels like a home away from home. The location is fantastic and excellently maintained and spotlessly clean.


Susan, Manchester

Truly a fantastic property in one of the most beautiful locations in St. Davids. Located a stones throw from the main square, yet secluded and private with a south facing garden with seating+ BBQ. It's a gem. The house is more than a home from home - it's better. Gorgeous 8-seater dining kitchen with every mod con, and a log fire (fully supplied) in the lovely comfortable separate sitting room. More delight as you explore upstairs - a study/playroom before the main landing, with and three fantastic large bedrooms (1 super king) with the luxury of 3 showers + a full bathroom.


Angela, Stockport

Lovely place! Ideally placed in the centre of St David’s. Beautiful gardens within earshot of the cathedral bells. The sun even shone. What’s not to love?


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.
