About this property

Cozy cottage in heart of St Davids - private garden with Cathedral views

Yewdale Cottage is one of the oldest cottages in the heart of the 'city' and has the perfect blend of original period features and contemporary amenities.

We also have a delightful, large garden with stunning cathedral views.

Think: cozy cottage, exposed beams, art, quirky antiques and gorgeous bed linen.

From the moment you enter Yewdale Cottage, you’ll be struck by just how much space there is. For a listed, traditional cottage such as this there’s an almost Tardis-like effect as you enter through the pretty front garden.

Downstairs is a large living room, complete with cozy sofas, gas fire, tv and, of course, board games. There’s also a beautiful dining table where you can sit together and break bread. The kitchen has everything you’ll need and a little bit more and there’s also an outhouse in the garden equipped with washer and dryer.

The downstairs bathroom has a bath and a shower and is very much the main bathroom of the property. And there’s also a beautiful double bedroom downstairs which has fantastic views of the cathedral.

Up the wooden stairs at the back of the lounge you’ll find a large landing with three sleeping areas and a bathroom. The master bedroom is gorgeous, with views of the cathedral and its own washbasin and mirror. There is also a single bedroom, and an area on the landing with a further single bed that has a curtain for privacy. The bathroom has a sink and WC. There is also plenty of storage and even more charming character.

You can access the large garden either via the side access or from the backdoor between the downstairs bathroom and kitchen. This is a fantastic place to let the kids loose or sit out drinking gin and tonics till the sun sets behind the cathedral.

A Perfect Stay in St David's
We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cottage in St David's last week, and it was an absolute delight! Nestled conveniently across from the car park, the location couldn't have been better—everything we wanted to explore was just a stone's throw away (The car park sells weekly tickets, which worked well for us). The cottage itself was a dream. It offered all the comforts and conveniences we could possibly need, paired with ample space that made our stay both comfortable and relaxing. The interior brims with character, adding to the overall experience of our stay. We're already looking forward to our next visit. For anyone seeking a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and charm, this cottage in St David's is a fantastic choice. We will definitely be staying here again!

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.
