Explore. Discover. Create.
Nestled in the heart of Britain’s smallest city, our B&B and Art Retreat in St Davids offers a unique blend of coastal charm, cultural heritage, and natural inspiration. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or awaken your inner artist, you’ll find plenty to spark your spirit. Here are just a few highlights to enjoy during your stay:
Discover St David's Cathedral
A short walk from our doorstep lies the awe-inspiring St Davids Cathedral, a spiritual and architectural marvel with roots dating back to the 12th century. Set in a hollow beneath the city, this historic gem is surrounded by ancient ruins and peaceful grounds—perfect for sketching, reflection, or simply soaking in the atmosphere.
Coastal Walks on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path
Stretching for miles along dramatic cliffs and sandy coves, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers some of the most breath-taking scenery in Wales. Pack your sketchbook or camera and take a scenic walk to nearby Whitesands Bay, or hike further afield toward Solva or Porthclais Harbour for unforgettable views and inspiration.
Beaches and Wild Swimming
Whether it’s the golden sands of Whitesands Bay, the tucked-away tranquillity of Caerfai Beach, or the rugged beauty of Abercastle, the local coastline offers a beach for every mood. Many spots are perfect for a refreshing swim, a seaside picnic, or a quiet moment with a journal.
Wildlife Watching
Pembrokeshire is rich in wildlife, especially along the coast. Take a boat trip to Ramsey Island—a nature reserve teeming with seabirds, seals, and sometimes even dolphins. The cliffs and coves also offer great birdwatching and opportunities to connect with the untamed natural world.
