One of the most amazing aspects of Yewdale Cottage – a self-catering holiday cottage in Pembrokeshire that sleeps six – is the views of St David’s Cathedral from the windows and the garden.

From the beautiful garden you can sit and sip gin and tonics while gazing out at this christian monstrosity as it rises into the sky.

But also, when you’re exploring the cozy hobbit home that is Yewdale Cottage, you can see the cathedral from both the living room window and also the master bedroom.

St David’s Cathedral is an attraction that people travel from all over the world to visit so to have such wondrous views of it from our cottage is a true privilege.

Yewdale holiday cottage is available all year round so please drop us an email if you’d like to book.

Bluebell Woods, Solva

The bluebell woods are an amazing place to visit while holidaying in St Davids, Pembrokeshire. Solva is a fishing village just a five minute car journey away from Yewdale holiday Cottage. It’s amazing to walk hand-in-hand with a loved one through these gorgeous woods.

Blue Lagoon, Abereiddy

The Blue Lagoon is a still and magical body of water. Carved into the slate grey cliffs of Pembrokeshire, The Blue Lagoon is an amazing place to visit and maybe even have a dip in. Do be careful though. The water can get extremely cold.

Caer Bwdy Bay

Just around the corner from the beautiful Carefai (the closest beach to our holiday cottage) is Caer Bwdy Bay. It’s a real hidden treasure and holiday-makers don’t tend to know about it. So you might find yourself all alone on this beautiful patch of sand.

There’s so much to do and see in St Davids. So come and experience it for yourself in our self-catering holiday cottage that sleeps six.

You might think that November is a lost month. Just waiting for Christmas. It’s cold and wet. And dark and grey. But there is so much going on, especially in St Davids. But, for a tiny weenie city, St Davids always has a lot going on.

Fireworks night is such a special night to spend with family and friends. It feels like a celebration of the upcoming winter and is a great antidote to the blues that we all experience around this time of year.

It’s always especially amazing to enjoy this moment with children. Watching them hold a sparkler or their faces during the display is a wonderful moment.

If you’re holidaying in St Davids then there are a lot of options for you. And self-catering Yewdale Cottage is a great location for a family holiday or a romantic getaway to see a fireworks display.

The above picture shows The Sloop Inn. This is in a little fishing village called Porthgain. It’s a really wonderful display as the fireworks are shot out to sea and the mirror image of them on the ocean is quite wonderful.

Also Solva has a fantastic display. You can sit and eat hot chips from the fish and chip shop while watching the colourful and spectacular display.

So if you are on holiday in St Davids and are looking for a cottage to let or rent, come and stay at Yewdale Cottage and enjoy the amazing fireworks options on offer.
