About this property
Just a short drive from St Davids, Britain's smallest city and a few minutes’ walk from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, this pretty stone cottage has a private hot tub and is perfect for a couple or a small family. If you like beaches and harbours you will be spoilt for choice with Porthgain, the Blue Lagoon, Traethllyfn (National Trust beach), Abereiddy, St Davids and Whitesands to choose from.
At the end of the day there is a friendly local The Ship Inn which serves pub meals and if you prefer to dine out in the morning The Mill cafe serves delicious home cooked breakfasts.
The coastal bus passes through the village and gives guests the chance to walk a different section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path each day.
Well worth a visit are the offshore bird islands of Ramsey, Skomer where you can see Puffins and Shearwaters in season.
The city of St Davids is situated on the far south west coast of Wales. Granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II, it is the smallest city in the UK, with its magnificent cathedral dating back to the 12th century and the ruins of the Bishop's Palace, both wonderful buildings to explore. Situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, St Davids is a delightful place with an array of unique shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs, surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery. Nearby Whitesands Bay is one of the many beautiful beaches in the area, and walkers will delight in the spectacular views from the coastal path which runs around the complete coastline of Pembrokeshire. Local buses will help with your walking plans, so that you can walk several stretches of the path with totally different landscapes and views each day. Dolphin spotting from land or from the many boat trips to local islands are a must, and are also perfect for enjoying the wonderful array of birds in their natural habitat. St Davids is the perfect holiday destination, whether you are looking for a quiet relaxing break, wonderful walking, a round of golf, an exploration of magnificent castles or fun-filled days at Oakwood Theme Park, farm parks and much more.

). Everything we needed was available and the milk and Welsh cakes were a nice touch. We didn't actually get to meet the owners but they were easily contactable by email. The local pub does nice food. Highly recommended

The cottage is well kept and has everything you need for a short stay - a real home from home! The welcome basket and the information folder were very thoughtful (and useful) touches. The village of Treffin is picturesque and we had a wonderful stay visiting the local area. The hidden bay at the bottom of the hill (5 minutes walk) was a gem. The village pub was great, exceptionally friendly and the food was amazing. All in all, this was a great value for money holiday and I would highly recommend to couples and families alike.

Ruhige Lage und ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Aktivitäten in der Umgebung. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man für seinen Aufenthalt braucht. Nach Wanderungen steht zur Erholung ein Whirlpool zur Verfügung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Vermieter haben stets nachgefragt, ob wir etwas benötigen oder vermissen. Ein gelungener Aufenthalt in Wales. Simone und Maik
