St Davids Escapes

10/11/2024

❄️ Why book a winter escape to Pembrokeshire?

Imagine waking up in a cosy coastal cottage, sipping a warm cup of tea as morning light filters through the windows. Outside, Pembrokeshire’s frosty landscapes shimmer under a soft winter sun. Bundled in a woolly scarf, you set out along a quiet beach, breathing in fresh, crisp sea air with only the sound of waves nearby.

In St Davids, the UK’s smallest city, charming shops are dressed for the season. You explore galleries, picking up unique local finds, and warm up over a hearty pub lunch by a crackling fire. A visit to St Davids Cathedral in the afternoon offers a peaceful, reflective moment in its soft winter light.

As dusk settles, you return to your cottage for a night of true relaxation. Snuggled by the fire with a hot drink in hand, you unwind, watching stars scatter across the night sky. This is Pembrokeshire in winter—a perfect blend of beauty, peace, and comfort, waiting to be explored.
