Penrhiw Priory, St Davids. Luxury, exclusive self-catering holiday
retreat close to beach and city. [email protected]

The definition of tranquillity, Penrhiw Priory is a retreat for the mind, body and soul. Built in 1884 by the Church in Wales as a Vicarage, it thereafter became a home and a guesthouse, before returning to its religious roots as a priory for nuns in the 1960s. Following their departure in 1985, it once again became a host for leisure guests drawn to St Davids, and has been so ever since. Restored

with the utmost care, original features subtly contrast the modern interiors. Suede wallpaper, generous sofas, and art inspired by the beauty of nature, evoke a warmth throughout which extends out to the exterior. Lush landscaped gardens contrast the wild flower meadow carpeted with yellow pea- like flowers of bird’s-foot trefoil, purple thistle-like heads of black knapweed, and cheerful white heads of the oxeye daisy, whilst in spring, the woodland becomes a sea of daffodils and bluebells. The priorys’ spiritual past breathes a calming energy, protected by the elegant, purple hued stone of Caerbwdi Bay, the same stone that shelters the historic 6th century cathedral that lies in the valey below, just a few hundred metres further along the channel of the River Alun. A stone’s throw from the city and beach, the location is unrivalled. At Whitesands Bay, the striking hills of Carn Llidi can be summited for breath taking views of Ramsey Island and St Davids Head, whilst inland; the tips of the cathedral extend above the treetops to remind you of its’ grandeur. The coast path is close too. Miles and miles of it, waiting for you to explore. Note:
Due to its historic nature, Penrhiw Priory is not suitable for guests with walking difficulties. We accept children 12 years and over. As a hypo-allergenic property, we cannot accept pets. [email protected]
