Hey guys!

Thanks to all you amazing supporters of Yewdale Cottage, the bookings have been great this year. It’s really wonderful to see as it helps so many of the local businesses and shops too.

It’s been a fantastic summer here in St Davids already! So much sun and the city is looking as beautiful as ever. You must come and see the cathedral, which is particularly spectacular.

So we really hope this is a turning point after a really tough few years. We were hit hard by Covid and on top of that we had to repair the entire roof! This threw us into considerable debt. It’s something we are only just climbing out of.

But it’s so worth it when we get fantastic reviews from people who love the cottage.

We feel so privileged that people are able to experience St Davids through our beautiful cottage.

Thank you all so much for a wonderful year. And get booking for late 2025 and 2026!

They are going like hot cakes! Or Welsh cakes! Haha.

Sad news for anyone who was hoping to get a booking between now and the end of summer. But we are fully booked!

It’s been a really wonderful year after some very tough times over the past few years. As so many of you know, tourism has been hit so hard by both covid and a sputtering, spluttering economy.

So to start getting bookings by the bus load is really quite emotional for all of us family members who love this cottage so very much.

Thank you to all of you who have patronised and supported us over the last few years. There have been times where we thought we might have to jack it all in. We just couldn’t see a way out.

But, as a certain Bob Dylan once wrote – the times they are a changing.

And he wasn’t lying. Now we plan to reinvest and do everything we can to improve even more the experience of visiting St Davids and Yewdale.

Thank you all so much!

We find, with our young children, that there’s nothing more satisfying than a day on the beach. Children can entertain themselves for hours and hours, jogging around with bucketsful of salty water. Or paddling happily in the sea.

But, if you want to try some other adventurous activities, then St Davids is the place for you.

Firstly, the cliff walks are simply majestic. Yes, at first your children will probably whinge and moan a little. But once they are up on the cliffs, with the swell of the sea splashing their faces, they are going to be having a great time.

Secondly, you can choose all manner of fun activities if you head into the centre of town and check out Twr y Felin. They offer all sorts of high-octane adventure trips and have wonderful staff and opportunities.

As well as this, we highly recommend a boat trip to Ramsey Island. There are lots of different companies that offer this so please do shop around for the best offer.

All in all, there is so much to do in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, that you’ll never be bored or short of activities to take part in.

Come to St Davids to enjoy amazing coastal walks and heritage natural beauty. There is never a better time to walk along the beach and enjoy the splendour of nature.

There are so many amazing flowers popping up all over Pembrokeshire at this time of year. The colours are genuinely incredible. Blues, yellows, greens. The whole colour palette is taken care of.

The sun is shining and the birds are singing and the whole of St Davids looks like it’s shrouded in beautiful light.

There’s just no better place for family holidays or adventure getaways. It’s the versatility of St Davids that makes it so wonderful.

So if you want to spend some time in a beautiful self catering holiday cottage, Yewdale is the place for you.

Make memories that will last a lifetime.

St David’s Music Festival takes place between 23-28th May 2025. It’s an amazing array of classical music and choral music and a whole host of other things too.
