"This B&B could not be any more perfect. It is lovely, charming and quiet. The owners Suzanne and Shaun are incredibly helpful, friendly and gracious, and what’s more serve up a delicious breakfast. It’s a short walk into St Davids and to the coastal walking path. We stayed four nights and wish we could have stayed longer!"

St David's Cross Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A very well situated hotel, modern inside an old building. A nice beer garden. Pleasant and helpful staff. The restaurant was good and there are other nice eating places nearby. The bar closes at 10 which means it is quiet if you gov o bed early but there are nearby pubs ifvyou don’t want to b Vegan breakfast could have been a bit more exciting and it would be good if oat or soya milk plus sachets of flora (or similar) were available on the breakfast buffet. Good to have EV charging on site but they didn’t all work properly and the payment system was a bit fiddly. A really nice visit and I’d definitely stay again."

Swn y Môr - 1 Bedroom Cottage - Whitesands

8/10 Good
"The good: the place is very cute and the location is good - close-ish to town but also out in the country with views of white sands bay. Mattress was very comfy. Place is well equipped enough for a short stay. The bad: They need to fire their cleaning person and whatever god awful overseas service they use for their communications. Communication with the actual host via chat is non-existent. It’s all some person overseas. The place itself needs a good cleaning. Dust accumulated on furniture and kitchen that looks like it hasn’t been dusted in months. Like you could write in it. But the worst part was the linens and towels. Both towels were clearly not laundered or laundered very poorly. One had a stain that looked like feces and had “texture” if you get my drift. Sheets were stained. We sent a message and got 1 new towel and a single sheet plopped on the bed when we returned. What???? lol. When I asked about additional clean linens we got the generic “rest assured we are communicating with the property manager” but no new linens. I’d give the place another try since it was overall fairly nice if they fixed these things. One other thing to be aware of - the cottage is part of a group of 5-6 other cottages/buildings on what used to be a farm. It’s not off by itself if that matters to you."
