Ty Gwilym Holiday Cottages

Ty Gwilym Holiday Cottages are a collection of luxurious five-star self-catering cottages right in the heart of St Davids — Britain’s smallest city — within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Just a short stroll from the cathedral, restaurants and shops, and sleeping up to eleven in total across the cottages, they make a superb base for couples, families and groups exploring the glorious Pembrokeshire coast.

Five-star luxury in the heart of St Davids

Beautifully converted and finished to a high five-star standard, the cottages combine period character with genuine comfort. The flagship cottage, Ty Gwilym, sleeps six across three bedrooms, with a super-king or twin room, a further double with en-suite, and three bathrooms in all. A Clearview wood-burning stove with logs provided makes for relaxing evenings, and there is free high-speed WiFi, gas central heating and quality Miele appliances throughout.

Comfort and a city-centre setting

The cottages share a pleasant garden with views towards the cathedral bell tower and the rocky summit of Carn Llidi, and there is parking too — a real bonus in the centre of the city. Whether you take one cottage or book several together for a larger group of up to eleven, you are perfectly placed to enjoy everything St Davids has to offer on foot.

Where it is

St Davids is famous for its magnificent medieval cathedral and the ruins of the Bishop’s Palace, tucked into a hollow below the city, with a lovely range of independent restaurants, galleries and shops. It is one of the most special places on the Welsh coast. You can browse more places to stay across the area on our Pembrokeshire accommodation page.

Things to do nearby

This is some of the finest coastline in Britain. The golden surf beach at Whitesands Bay is a short drive away, with boat trips running out to Ramsey Island — a haven for seabirds, seals and porpoises — from the lifeboat station at St Justinian’s. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs all around the peninsula, with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and the chance of spotting dolphins offshore. St Davids itself is a wonderful place to wander, with the cathedral, galleries and good places to eat all close at hand.

Who it suits

With their luxury finish and unbeatable central location, the Ty Gwilym cottages suit couples after a romantic city-and-coast break, families, and groups who want to book several cottages together. Being able to walk everywhere in St Davids makes them especially appealing for a relaxed, car-free stay.

Good to know

As city-centre cottages, they put everything within walking distance, so you can leave the car and enjoy the cathedral, the restaurants and the evening atmosphere on foot. The wood burner makes them inviting in the cooler months, when St Davids is at its most peaceful, and short breaks are available out of the main season. Booking ahead is wise for summer and around the cathedral festival, when the city is at its busiest.
