Whether you come on a family holiday, a coastal getaway or a romantic long weekend, you’ll definitely have a talking point when you see the horse’s skull in a display cabinet on the upstairs landing.
There’s a plaque underneath it which reads :
“Horses skull found in the foundations of Yewdale Cottage during renovations in the 1960’s. Probably buried in the 17th Century for good luck and fertility, according to ancient local custom. It is said there will be a curse on anyone who removes it from the cottage!”
St Davids is a truly mystical place and one of the amazing things about a holiday in Pembrokeshire is you truly get a feel you are in a timeless world, walking hand-in-hand with ancient ancestors.
It’s not for everyone’s taste. But we believe that the horse’s head and other quirky features like it are what makes Yewdale Cottage a truly unique place to stay.
Come see for yourself!
