With the bonus of a woodburning stove in one sitting room, holidays can be enjoyed here all year round. The two double bedrooms and the single bedroom have wonderful views over open countryside and for the younger children at this there is the unique twin bedroom in the eaves off the main stairs which feels almost like an "indoor den".

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.

It is so cosy and comfortable with all the facilities you could need. It is very clean and tidy with comfortable beds and chairs. The owners were very helpful and friendly. It is in a brilliant location - nice and peaceful, beautiful views of the countryside, wildlife and sunsets, lovely coastal walks and also close to St. David's. Plenty of space for parking also. Thank you for the welcome pack - much appreciated. Would definitely recommend it.
