About this property

Old Stone cottage in heart of St Davids, private garden overlooks Cathedral

Yewdale Cottage is a picturesque stone cottage - one of the oldest in St. David's - with beautiful views across the Cathedral and the ruined Bishop's Palace. St. David's is the smallest city in the UK, renowned for its spectacular coastal scenery, staggering cliffs, covered with flowers in May and June and nesting place for many varieties of birds. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path provides excellent walking round the peninsula. Numerous coves and harbours offer a wide range of activities, from boat trips to nearby Ramsey Island Bird Sanctuary, to diving, fishing and rock climbing. The beautiful, green flag beach at Whitesands provides excellent swimming and is overlooked by a nine-hole golf course. The sandy cove at Caerfai is only a mile away. A footpath opposite the cottage gives access in minutes to the Cathedral with its newly restored Cloisters and Refectory. The choir enjoys an international reputation and the Cathedral is a venue for regular concerts and recitals. From coasteering, surfing, inspiring hikes along the cliffs, wildlife-watching and fishing trips, to nearby woollen mills and top restaurants serving fresh seafood, St. David's offers everything you need for a wonderful holiday.

Yewdale Cottage St Davids
It is a pretty cottage in an excellent location. We did think that it needed a refurb in terms of furniture ,particularly in the lounge which is a little too quirky, particularly the sofas which felt damp and a bit grubby. The horses head skeleton on the landing is very unnerving for children (and some adults too).If you are looking for prime location with a lovely garden it will suit but the decor and furniture might not !

Gorgeous cottage in lovely setting
This is an absolutely lovely place to stay, extremely quirky with lots of character in the most peaceful setting, but in easily walkable distance to all the shops & places to eat & drink in St David's. The garden was a safe haven for our little dog & we went to sleep with just the sound of birds & the cathedral bells. We did manage to find free parking every day, but not always that close to the cottage, which wasn't ideal & my husband really struggled with the low beams & constantly banging his head. But, all in all this really is a special little cottage to stay in & we loved it.

Lovely cottage in a great location
The cottage is very well equipped. It is very close to the centre of St Davids and just a couple of minutes from the cathedral. We (two couples) had a great weekend, enjoying the peace and quiet

About the host

Hosted by Michael Brabin

Host profile image
Janet's family come from St. David's and this is very much a family home. David is a market gardener and artist and Janet is a translator/teacher. We have three sons and three Jack Russells, so are very happy for you to bring your dogs. We all enjoy the walking, cycling, swimming, surfing and coasteering and the many other pleasures Pembrokeshire has to offer. We love music and the choral music in the Cathedral is sublime. There are also frequent concerts and annual music festivals in St. David's and Fishguard.

What makes this property unique

We like being right in St. David's, just above the Cathedral and close to some wonderful eateries. We can walk to Whitesands, our favourite beach, in under half an hour and the delightful sandy cove of Caerfai is less than a mile away. Access to the actual coastal path at St. Non's is even closer. The peninsular is criss-crossed with quiet minor roads which are perfect for safe cycling.
