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!
Yesterday, we walked from our cottages in the middle of St Davids to Lower Treginnis (the Farm for City Children) and then round to St Justinians. We had a brief lull from the recent storms and the view, as always was amazing.
