Guests say
Mary Cottage in the heart of St Davids is highly praised for its unbeatable location opposite the cathedral, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Guests consistently mention the cottage’s well-equipped kitchen, spaciousness, and peaceful atmosphere. The property is described as cosy, comfortable, and perfect for families or groups. While a few minor maintenance issues and quirks are noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage very clean and well presented, even for last-minute bookings. One review mentioned a few cobwebs, but this was a minor issue compared to the overall positive feedback.
The location is universally praised as exceptional, right in the centre of St Davids and opposite the cathedral, with easy access to local attractions, shops, and walks.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and peaceful, with good soundproofing. Some mention minor issues with furniture and the lack of bedside lights, but these do not detract significantly from the overall comfort.
The cottage is repeatedly described as well equipped, especially the kitchen. Some guests noted quirks such as a very hot shower, lack of an open fire/wood burner, and suggestions for more storage and lighting, but overall facilities are rated highly.
The owners were accommodating with last-minute bookings, but there is no mention of welcome gifts or packages. One guest noted that a welcome package would have been appreciated, so such gestures are not guaranteed.

Great cottage in superb quiet location. Parked the car opposite and used the local buses or walked all week. A few areas to address are written on the logbook in the cottage. These include some empty cupboards in the kitchen to store provisions and sorting out the lighting in the sitting room.

We had a lovely week at Mary’s Cottage. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of St Davids, and despite being so central we had no problem parking outside throughout our stay. The kitchen is really well equipped too, which made it a great base for the week.There were a few quirks. The shower seemed to have only one temperature, scalding hot, there were strangely no bedside lights, and the furniture felt a little hotchpotch rather than particularly comfortable or considered. It is also advertised as having an open fire/wood burner, but there is neither. This was certainly not an issue during the very hot week we stayed, but the listing should probably be updated.Overall though, the location is the real star and it was brilliant being able to step out of the door and be right in the centre of St Davids.
