Y Bwthyn cottage in St Davids is praised for its excellent central location and welcoming owners, with special mentions of homemade scones adding a personal touch. While some guests found the cottage to be clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, others noted it could benefit from some refurbishment and attention to maintenance. The property's charm and convenient parking are appreciated, and despite some comments about the decor and furnishings, many guests express a desire to return.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests finding the cottage clean and comfortable, while others reported dust, cobwebs, and a musty smell. The presence of dog mess and weeds in the patio area was also noted.
The cottage's location is consistently praised for being central and convenient, close to shops, pubs, the cathedral, and main bus stop, making it an ideal base for exploring St Davids.
Guests generally find the beds comfortable and the cottage homely, though some mention that the furniture and fittings appear tired. Noise from the road and an adjoining cafe was a concern for lighter sleepers.
The facilities are described as adequate with everything needed for a stay. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as kitchen appliances needing attention, a detached sink outlet, and difficulty with door locks.
The owners are frequently mentioned for their friendliness and helpfulness, with special appreciation for the homemade scones provided. It should be noted that such personal touches, while delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
A cosy terraced St Davids cottage in the heart of this unique city, with a very homely feel as soon as you walk through the front door, directly into the sitting room with character beams and open stairs leading to two light and airy bedrooms. With a third bedroom on the ground floor, a spacious kitchen/diner and a ground floor bathroom, this is a great cottage for all the family. The quiet secluded patio is a real sun trap, and perfect for alfresco dining. St Davids, the smallest city in Wales, is really beautiful, with its magnificent cathedral, gift shops, tea rooms, restaurants, bistros and pubs all within a few minutes' walk from this delightful cottage. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers spectacular scenery with varied wildlife and birdlife. Sandy beaches offer relaxing days and invigorating walks, with swimming and surfing all year round. With days out so varied, from Oakwood Theme Park and white water rafting to gentle strolls in picturesque countryside, your days will be as enjoyable as your evenings relaxing in this delightful cottage.

Lack of plugs meant the bedside table lamps were useless in 2/3 bedrooms. (Two extension cables were provided for these but only one worked.) No internet in the cottage, this should be mentioned on the listing. Booster to owners cafe next door unreliable and of course the TV was very limited because of this. Lack of board games or any family entertainment felt off for a three bed holiday cottage, as did the sitting room seating and tiny tv. The kitchen was dirty with only one sharp knife provided which we found 2 days into our stay in the outside courtyard. The mop that was presumably used to clean the floor before we arrived was left in the kitchen complete with dirty water in the bucket. The extractor fan doesnât work in the kitchen and many kitchen accessories like the egg holder and pan trivets were absolutely filthy. The towels were like ones youâd only keep for a dog. There was a random bit of wood with exposed screws left in the twin (childrenâs) bedroom. Everything in the cottage looks like it was bought at a charity shop or car boot sale, which would be fine if it was looked after and clean, but the lack of care and effort meant it all felt a bit grubby. The location is very central (St Davidâs is tiny anyway so itâs hard to go wrong) but the cafe was noisy when open in the evenings and the downstairs bedroom guests said it was noisy all night from the street noise. As the cottage accepts dogs we did expect it to be a bit dated and less luxurious but I still couldnât recommend this cottage even based on that and frankly Iâm surprised it passes the basic standards expected by the holiday company. None of this hampered our holiday but this definitely is the faulty towers of holiday cottages.

Everything we needed in kitchen, Mary (the owner) was a delight, so welcoming. Very peaceful considering we were on a main road. Spacious, and loved the outside space.
Tina
Location was just perfect. Cottage was comfortable and very well equipped. Needs a bit of TLC but that did not mar our stay. We would definitely book this cottage again.
