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.

This is the second time we have stayed at one of these lovely cottages....and we will be back again! The standards are so high. The kitchen is spotless clean and contains all the dishes, pots and pans and excesseries you will ever want, to feel totally at home! The meile washing machine and dryer are the best. Mattresses are very comfortable. The bathrooms are large, with separate shower and large tub, and of course heated towel racks, that are self controlled. Draw down window shades and heavy drapes.... We have stayed other places and this is the best.... Thanks, From Sam and Elaine

This is the largest of the tastefully-decorated Ty Gwilym cottages. Facilities are modern and top-quality, including the comfortable beds. The kitchen has a large, wooden table for family gatherings, and the downstairs shower is useful when returning from Whitesands in sandy wetsuits! Upstairs, there are magnificent views across St David's to Carn Llidi. We enjoy dining al fresco, surrounded by lavender bushes in summer; in winter, we appreciate the central heating and cosy log burner. All amenities in St David's can be reached on foot, and Dawn, the great housekeeper, is on hand for advice.

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.
We have stayed several times at this lovely cottage, it is tastefully decorated, well maintained and spotlessly clean. Since we were last there the sitting room now has a log burner which is great. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms spacious with lovely white fluffy towels. The kitchen is well equipped and all items are of a high spec. The shared garden is like an oasis, peaceful and beautifully kept. We look forward to our next visit .
