“Greenfields needs a thorough clean.”

It was superficially clean but the wall tiles in kitchen were very grubby. Most of the windows had grime & mould in the gaps between the shutter inserts and window frames. Cobwebs on light fittings, extractor fan etc. Some dark stains on stair carpet. Also, some tatty or broken kitchen equipment - china teapot with no lid, burned saucepans, etc. Also, the area outside front door needs tidying up: uneven surfaces, cracked crumbling concrete with weeds growing through. Not very welcoming. It could ...

Not very welcoming. It could be a lovely property but was let down by poor cleaning & maintenance.

“I have to agree with a previous comment that the pics of this property do not do it justice!”

It is a gem of a place, ideally situated close to the centre of St David’s with shops and pubs a stroll away. Head the other way and you’re on the coastal path in no time. It was our first visit to Pembrokeshire and we fell in love with it and we will be back. Greenfields offered a comfortable and homely place to discover the area. The accommodation had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay in St David’s. Many thanks to the owners

“We were glad to return to such a brilliantly located property.”

Close to everything and very comfortable. Weather rather cold and windy, but good for walking and for 4 of the 6 days we got plenty of sunshine. May well be back again next time we want to come to Pembrokeshire.

“Had a fabulous week with friends at this cottage in St Davids.”

To be honest, the pictures do not do the cottage justice, it was a pleasant surprise to find the camera does actually lie for the better! St Davids was also a lovely surprise find. Loads of places to visit, especially the beaches & coastline. A couple of great friendly pubs within walking distance (or staggering distance on the way back), they also both did great food. A great time had by all!

“Really enjoyed our stay at Greenfields in this spacious bungalow.”

There were two of us and our dog. The garden is genuinely enclosed so we could let the dog out without worry (she likes to explore when she gets the chance). An outdoor tap came in useful when it was time to wash her. Wimbledon week and the Euros so the SMART TV got good usage. Location is excellent, really close to the centre of St David's so within easy walking distance of the pubs etc.

“Lovely house”

Gareth June 2024

“A really lovely stay.”

All facilities we needed were there, location great. Close to all that was available. Maybe just maybe ask the owner to have a word with next door neighbour to trim, or cut down the big tree just outside the lounge window.

- Gareth, June 2024
Dennis May 2024

“Lovely property, clean and well maintained.”

Great central location, close to pubs and Cathedral. Coastal path is 10 mins away. Needs clothing storage in main bedroom and grass needs cutting.

- Dennis, May 2024
Allan March 2024

“A well equipped home , with all our needs catered for.”

A quiet peaceful location close to all the amenities. An ideal location to explore the Pembrokeshire countryside.

“We had a lovely relaxing week at Greenfields.”

There is space for 2 cars (one behind the other) outside the front and the location is great - lots of shops, pubs, cafes/ restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. As we stayed here mid-March, the house would get cold quickly once the heating turned off so the bedrooms were cold at night - maybe consider some curtains for winter time? Obviously this won't be an issue during the summer. I had the twin room, comfy beds, and a double wardrobe with drawers underneath. My friend had the double room but there was no storage for her clothes. Maybe consider replacing the wicker chair for a tallboy and placing a hanging rail in the large built in cupboard? Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Greenfields, a proper home from home. Yes the kitchen is 'outdated' but it's in full working order, in good condition, very clean and well equipped (we did some cooking while there). I only gave 3 out of 4 faces due to being cold at night and the lack of storage in the double room. We loved everything else - very comfy sofas in the lounge! - and looked forward to returning there after our days out. It's clearly has been a much loved family home and we like that vibe.

Hi Our stay at Greenfields was excellent but it needs a little TLC now ie kitchen upgrade - attention to cleaning around the windows and floors - better explanation on recycling as the info in the white book is different than what is supplied red bag - blue bag ( no orange etc) drive could do with a new covering other than that we enjoyed our stay

- Martin, October 2023

Thank you for your comments, we have work planned for the winter months and will bear your comments iñ mind. Property Owner
Sue October 2023

“Well positioned house but everything a little tired and not working correctly.”

Cooker fan extremely noisy. TV intermittent picture. Windows filthy. In need of love and attention.

- Sue, October 2023

Thank you for your comments, the issues you raised have been remedied i hope, thank you for bringing them to our attention. We have redecorated thoughout and installed new ariel and scrubbed the windows. Property Owner
Kevin September 2023

“What a disappointment!”

The old fashioned concrete driveway is cracked and full of weeds, the narrow concrete pathway that runs around the house has subsided away from the property and paint is flaking on the window sills-house needs repainting. The seal in 2 of the windows have failed and have condensation. The glazing in back door is full of condensation, you can't see through it. The double bed and the pillows are rock hard. I could go on but I doubt it would encourage the owners make any improvements. We definitely will not be back to Greenfields-no name on the house either.

- Kevin, September 2023

Thank you for your comments, we will act upon them. Property Owner
Paul September 2023

“Very comfortable and well appointed property - in a superb location, with easy walks to the coastline and a few minutes stroll into the city centre.”

Off road parking and small garden are a bonus.

“We enjoyed out stay but felt it could have been a bit more maintained and cleaner .”

Jane August 2023

“Lovely homely feel, great location, parking real bonus.”

Clean. Quiet. So convenient for town and cathedral, (cut through next to Farmers Arms) and coastal path was so easy to access. Nice distant views. Locals/neighbours friendly. Two good showers. Upstairs bathroom lovely. Comfy sofas. Couldn’t work out TV v well, but got freeview after a while, and I could sign in to Netflix. (Didn’t spoil it for us, and in the nicest possible way I would say - a name /number on the property would be good, oven needs attention, rattles very loud, beds not too bad but mattress toppers would be a benefit for extra comfort. Also, I think the instructions are a little out of date as nothing on fridge re: rubbish collections, more coasters would be handy and kitchen scissors - (I tried my best but it appears the bin was not collected on Thurs despite me putting it next to the road on Wednesday eve) ) Just a suggestion but I think guests might pay a little extra for a local welcome pack on arrival ! (Bread , tea, coffee milk biscuits etc) Advice for guests: google earth it, I couldn’t see a number or name on the property, in saying that it was obvious if you look at the picture on Sykes and keenly look out for it , also although there were a few bits in the cupboards ie. salt/pepper/tea bags/ bin bags/ some cleaning stuff, you do really need to take all provisions if you want a cuppa on arrival eg. coffee, milk, etc. Overall, I would absolutely recommend and stay again if in the area, I thought it was reasonable price for the facilities, and time of year. Thank you.

“We loved the location of Greenfields.”

Turn left out of the driveway and you are just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of St Davids, with its pubs, shops, and of course the cathedral. Alternatively, turn right and a footpath at the end of the road takes you straight to the coastal path in about 10 minutes. From there you can walk to Caerfai or Porthclais and either return or continue further around the Pembrokeshire coast. The cottage itself had everything we needed, and although there was just the two of us, I think it would be perfect for a small family. Our favourite walk with lovely views was from Porthgain, 7 miles away on the north coast (free parking), to Abereiddy (either there and back along the coast, or returning via an inland route across the hilltop farm). St Davids head is also great if you want to see the welsh ponies grazing there. We found the pubs in St Davids to all be very similar (All Marstons pubs with pretty much identical menus), and a bit average, but we thought The Bishop was probably the best. Going further afield, both The Sloop Inn and The Shed at Porthgain were good, and The Castle in Newport was excellent.

“We had a wonderful week at Greenfields, perfect location, very comfortable house, the only thing that let it down was the dreadful reception on the TV.”

It was often so pixellated we couldn't watch it at all, luckily we were not there to spend our entire holiday watching TV but seeing the news would have been nice !

This is our 2nd year at Greenfields and again so very enjoyable short of nothing very close to shops and pubs food at the farmers Inn was superb and dog friendly The enclosed garden was great for our little Ruby only thing as others have said the recycling is a bit confusing found it easier just to the it home But never put a downer on the holiday We will be back Thanks for a lovely holiday Terry Janette and Ruby

- Terry, April 2023

So pleased you enjoyed -and Ruby had a great holiday again! Property Owner
Vanessa April 2023

“The property was really comfortable and the facilities provided were great.”

We really enjoyed our stay, it was close to the coast path and countryside and the town so a really good choice of location for us. A couple of niggles, which by no means spoiled our stay. We could only find one very small pair of scissors. We could only find 4 washing line pegs (we prefer not to use a dryer). The power to the garage was turned off at the fuse box, so we had to work this out before using the dryer. We weren't sure if we had to strip all of the beds even if we hadn't used them, so we did, just in case. Other than that all good.

- Vanessa, April 2023

So sorry for any confusion re the garage power - we’re at a loss to know how that happened - thank you for sorting it out - pegs are on the shopping list now - sometimes they seem to have a life of their own - so pleased you had a great time Property Owner
Audrey September 2022

“The property was like home from home - very comfortable and homely.”

- Audrey, September 2022

Thank you - it’s in a great location for exploring St Davids and surrounding area - so pleased you enjoyed! Property Owner
William July 2022

“A clean, comfortable property in an ideal location for pubs, restaurants, shops and the stunning cathedral.”

Just a few slightly negative observations: 1) Sykes say the property is clearly marked - it isn't. There is no name plate or number and both ourselves and Morrison's delivery driver had difficulty in finding it. 2) The recycling instructions need to be clearly set out in a readable fashion. There are no grey sacks for non-recyclable waste and no green crate for bottles. 3) The cleaners arrived almost 20 minutes early - around 10:10am, when the leaving time was stated as 10:30am. They were under the impression we had to be out for 10am and we're fine about us not being quite ready but the correct time needs communicating to everyone concerned. 4) For dog owners, it's worth pointing out that whilst the garden may be secure for medium sized dogs, small dogs (particularly terriers!) will find a way out through a gap underneath the fence - as we discovered! Fortunately, the neighbours were very understanding. Overall, a pleasant stay and if we ever return to the area, we would have no qualms about staying here again.

- William, July 2022

Thanks for your comments - so pleased you enjoyed - recycling system is a nightmare - we can only apologise we didn’t design the system!!! We all suffer it!! Property Owner
Terence May 2022

“Greenfields is an excellent holiday property.”

It is spacious and comfortable and has everything we needed. It is in a great location (with its own parking) for access to St Davids centre and the walks on the Pembrokeshire coast

- Terence, May 2022

Thank you for your review and lovely comments. Parking certainly is a premium in the centre and being so close to coast makes our house an ideal spot for mixing up both countryside and coast with local amenities. See you again soon hopefully. Property Owner
James April 2022

“Good location for the city centre and direct access to walks in the beautiful national park from the house.”

Good quality bed linen and towels, spotlessly clean everywhere, comfortable beds, sitting room very nice. No views from downstairs rooms was a minor drawback,

- James, April 2022

Thanks you for the positive feedback, we're really pleased you enjoyed our house and the surrounding area. Hopefully you'll visit again soon! Property Owner

Perfect location Great fenced garden with table and chairs little Ruby was able to run around safely and securely in the garden Perfect we will be back

- Terry, March 2022

So pleased you enjoyed yourselves- there was some lovely sunshine as well! Greenfields is in a great location - just 5 minutes walk to the cathedral and he lovely walks through the close and the valley, and ten minues or so walk to St Non’s coast path. Property Owner
Lee March 2022

“As the sampler, hanging in the hall, states Greenfields is ‘a house of peace and rest’ and we would add very comfy, well-equipped with tasteful decor.”

Excellent location for Cathedral and Palace and National Trust shop, in New Street, provides walks for the nearby Pembroke Coastal Path. Sunday lunch at The Bishops is a must but needs to be booked. A delightful cottage in a delightful area.

- Lee, March 2022

Greenfields has proved to be very popular - we love it and have enjoyed it - we are so pleased you appreciated and enjoyed as well. Property Owner

Teresa January 2022

“Great location.”

Lovely home. Very clean and tidy. The beds were soooooo comfortable. Only bit confusing was the refuse and recycling process. Think the in-house information contradicted itself. However, hope we worked it out sufficiently. Would highly recommend this property. A home from home.

- Teresa, January 2022

Thank you for your comments, will update the information about the refuse. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Nigel January 2022

“I was comfortable and had all I needed for my stay.”

Ideal for both the city and the coast. I got a lot of writing done, and walked every day. Perfect.

Christine December 2021

“The kitchen could do with more baking and oven cooking dishes.”

Also the recycling explanation and recycling colour bins did not match. No sockets by dressing table. Not much hanging or draw space in bedrooms. Lighting in kitchen very poor. Room’s got very cold when heating went off and in the morning before heating came on. Curtains would be a nice feature upstairs and keep the rooms warm. Freezer needed defrosting. Oven door was broken, which should/would have been noticed by the cleaners, but we found it broken on our arrival, I needed to phone the owner who was very good and replaced it on the day we arrived but it should never have been left broken (especially knowing we would need to use it over the Christmas period), if we hadn’t of checked it on arrival our Christmas would have been ruined. It was a lovely bungalow and in a perfect position with parking but just needs updating a bit and the addition of a few extra touches.

- Christine, December 2021
E November 2021

“Nice house, some small points, heating control was hit or miss, If you put on the gas fire you became too hot, but other rooms did not reach a "comfortable" setting.”

Cooker and microwave also a bit to complicated. No black bin on the property ? Did put general waste in a bag then in a spare green box and it was taken, so not an issue. Parking was good except a car parked opposite most of the time, which made reversing out "interesting". Clean and tidy with surprisingly plenty of room, two side gardens were good, but the weather stopped us using them to their best.

- E, November 2021

Many thanks for your comments. The rubbish collections confuse us locals. However I shall try make it clearer in the guidance. We are lucky with 2 parking spaces at greenfields, parking in St David's is at premium and not all are so fortunate. Property Owner
James September 2021

“The owners have obviously had couple of windows replaced.”

1st - Lounge window....debris on floor behind settee. Comment on this made by others who stayed months ago. 2nd - Garage which housed tumble dryer. It was like a tip! Once I found a brush, I had to sweep away builders rubble left in the area around the tumble dryer. Then, discovered tumble dryer water collection draw had not been emptied, as water spilling out of it. Also, filter not cleaned for a very long time. Does the owner or anyone else thoroughly check the property? I don’t think so. This was our second stay at Greenfields, in-fact we were the first to rent the property and we had to leave the owner a list of issues, especially the washing machine not operation properly. Admittedly, several of our earlier issues have been addressed including a replacement w/machine but there’s still personal mail in kitchen draw and the bedroom windows are issues. We will not be staying at Greenfields again!

- James, September 2021

Thanks for your feedback. We have addressed your issues. The window had been replaced that day and had not been cleared up to the anticipated standard. Apologies for that. I'd like to assure you we do read the comments and act on the as you noticed in your feedback. Property Owner
Barbara July 2021

“The house is very central which is good.”

I felt it was not especially child friendly. There were no plastic drinking beakers for the outside. I felt small bins in the bedrooms would have been useful too, also a brush and shovel.

- Barbara, July 2021
Kay June 2021

“We appreciated the wonderful position of the cottage, close to the cathedral and Bishop's Palace, but also to the Cross and the shops.”

Ideal for evening walks to St Nons, down mainly by road and back mainly by paths. We really liked the outdoor table and chairs. A perfect spot for exploring Pembrokeshire, a county we have loved for many years

- Kay, June 2021
Diana June 2021

“Lovely place to stay unfortunately I need to find a new property for next year on the Marloes peninsula or I would go back next year.”

Some oven baking trays would avoid having to us the grill pan everytime. The rubbish collection routine could be clearer.

The property

This spacious and comfortable detached dormer bungalow enjoys a quiet location close to the 'city centre' in the popular holiday destination of St Davids, Britain's smallest cathedral city.

The cathedral is hidden in the valley beside the magnificent Bishop's Palace ruins and is just a couple of minutes' walk from the property.

There are views of the cathedral from the bedroom windows.

St Davids boasts a great range of individual shops and galleries as well as an excellent range of pubs and eateries for all tastes within 2 minutes' walk.

The coastal path can be accessed easily about half a mile away (approx. 20min walk) following a path to St Non's.

Nearby there are many beaches and coves including Caerfai, which is just a mile away.

Not to be missed are the beaches of Whitesands and Abereiddi or a trip to the bird islands on one of the informative guided trips - these are offered locally.

Solva, Newgale, Porthgain and Abercastle are nearby too.

You can literally park the car up and enjoy a week exploring this lovely area of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The city of St Davids is situated on the far south west coast of Wales. Granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II, it is the smallest city in the UK, with its magnificent cathedral dating back to the 12th century and the ruins of the Bishop's Palace, both wonderful buildings to explore.

Nearby Whitesands Bay is one of the many beautiful beaches in the area, and walkers will delight in the spectacular views from the coastal path which runs around the complete coastline of Pembrokeshire. Local buses will help with your walking plans, so that you can walk several stretches of the path with totally different landscapes and views each day. Dolphin spotting from land or from the many boat trips to local islands are a must, and are also perfect for enjoying the wonderful array of birds in their natural habitat.
