The Mill House Cafe and Restaurant in St Davids is just a few minutes walk from Ty Gwilym Holiday Cottages and is situated at 9, New Street, just 100 yards past TYF on the left. It serves coffees and lunches, but in 2024, they decided to make a great change and open a restaurant at weekends.... on Fridays and Saturdays. This has proved really popular and been a huge success. Now they're contemplating opening on more days in the week. So do make a visit to The Mill Cafe and enjoy the whole experience, especially in the evening!
The winter months in St Davids are amazing. Last week, one day it was totally calm, the sea was flat and the sun was low, throwing sparkling light onto the waves at midday.
The next day storm Debi arrived with 50-60 m.p.h. winds... waves crashing over the rocks throwing vast plumes of spray everywhere and up onto the coastal path.
This variety is a dream for walkers and photographers... and a wonderful experience to take home.
