St Davids is one of the prettiest places in the UK with the magnificent cathedral and an array of unique little gift shops, tea rooms, pubs and bistros, making it a wonderful day out.

Lovely to have two rooms to spread out in; kept one as a âquiet roomâ for those not wanting to watch tv. Comfy beds; loved the Welsh wool blankets! Good position, handy for beaches and St Davidâs. This was our second time here.

Toilets & bathroom & shower room downstairs, headroom a bit small in bathroom but didn't bother us at all. Its not a modern holiday home and that was a plus for us. Outside area surrounded by beautiful views, cows as neighbours & lovely quiet country lane. Wifi wasnt perfect on tv but again, it didn't detract us, it's what you would expect from its location! Plenty of fridge & freezer space & kitchen parapherlania etc & parking space. The lady owner I spoke to on the phone was really nice and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the area and wouldn't hesitate in staying/booking there again. Thank you once again to the owners

It was really cosy, warm, clean and comfortable and very peaceful. The kitchen had all the facilities that you could possibly need. There was plenty of space in the house and was decorated really well. It was close to most places with plenty of walks around. The Coastal path was really close with beautiful scenery and there were stunning sunsets seen from the back of the house. A trip to Ramsey Island is recommended. Would definitely return. Brilliant holiday.
