St Davids, is Britain’s smallest city - a relaxing and friendly place, set in the centre of the St Davids peninsula. It was the birthplace of Celtic Christianity in Wales – two pilgrimages to St Davids were the equivalent of one to Rome. It offers a unique cultural experience. The historic Cathedral holds regular services, and concerts, including an International Music Festival at Whitsun. In the summer there are theatre productions of Shakespeare and children’s plays in the atmospheric surroundings of the Bishop’s Palace.

Pembrokeshire is renowned for its outdoor activities. It has beautiful beaches: both safe and sheltered for rock pooling, sandcastle building, and swimming, and exposed Atlantic surf for, surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, kayaking and coasteering. Visitor’s moorings are available in local harbours, and sheltered slipways allow divers and sea kayakers to launch. On land, riding, golf, and cycling are available. Walking on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, and bird watching on the nearby RSPB reserves of Ramsey and Skomer Islands are very popular. Coastal bus services run in the summer. For children, Oakwood Park and other local attractions are a magnet in good or bad weather.

Park House is ideally located for families as it is within a stones-throw of the supermarket, Post Office, and a well equipped children’s play park. It is close to local beaches: one mile from Caerfai Bay (a beautiful secluded and safe cove), and two miles from Whitesands Bay (a long sandy beach renowned for surfing). The house was built in the 19th century of the same purple Caerfai sandstone used in the Cathedral. It is cosy and welcoming but has been imaginatively renovated on three levels, and tastefully furnished. Stone walls have been exposed or painted white and the floors are stripped boards with rugs. It has a spacious feel, with areas for entertaining, watching TV, or quiet reading. Full gas-fired central heating and a multi-fuel stove in the sitting room make it warm on the coldest days.

Kitchen and dining area
There is a well equipped character kitchen / diner with seating for 6 people. The open-plan design is ideal for entertaining. There is a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, range cooker with extractor fan, microwave oven, electric kettle and toaster.
