Why we love it
The setting
Twr y Felin sits on the edge of St Davids, Britain's smallest city, in the far west of Pembrokeshire. The building started life as a windmill, and the round tower still anchors the property. Walk out the door and you reach St Davids Cathedral and the medieval Bishop's Palace on foot, while the Pembrokeshire Coast Path runs close by along the cliffs. The setting pairs open Welsh countryside with the sea, and the coast at Caerfai Bay is about a kilometre away.
What to expect
This is a contemporary art hotel rather than a country house. More than a hundred original works hang through the corridors, lounges and bedrooms, and the tower itself holds a viewing room with windows on every side. Your Standard Double room measures around 37 square metres, with a full double bed, a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast is not part of the base rate but can be added when you book. The on-site restaurant, Blas, leans on Welsh produce for its evening menu.
Things to do nearby
St Davids Cathedral is a short stroll away and remains the main draw, drawing visitors and pilgrims for centuries. Oriel y Parc, a gallery and visitor centre, sits about 170 metres from the hotel. For the coast, Caerfai Bay and Caerbwdy Bay are both roughly 1.1 km off, with sand and clear water below the cliffs. Boat trips to Ramsey Island for seals and seabirds leave from nearby St Justinian.
Best for
Couples after a quiet coastal break with good food and an arts slant. It suits walkers planning to take on stretches of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and anyone who wants the cathedral and galleries within walking distance.
