Location
Pen y Banc really is a terrific house for a family gathering or celebration or a group of friends who simply need an excuse to get together. It’s excellent location just above Solva village means you are within easy access to the Coastal Path and all that Solva has to offer.

Solva boasts gastro pubs, restaurants and charming and quirky coffee shops, along with the traditional locals watering holes, and a well-stocked local food shop and Post Office.

The downhill walk to the harbour will certainly be worth it – however please remember that what goes down must come up – a short taxi ride is suggested for the smaller/older members of the family. Kis will certianly love Solva’s tidal harbour and beach, especially crabbing on the harbour walls.

Just 3 miles away or an 8-minute drive is the charming city of St Davids with its magnificent Cathedral, medieval Bishops Palace and lots of lovely shops and galleries.

However, if a day building sandcastles on the beach sounds more appealing, the extremely popular sandy beaches of Whitesands and Newgale are a short car journey away.

Need to know
The living areas and bedrooms are on the 1st and 2nd floors – you must be able to climb stairs
The helpful owners occasionally stay in the annexe which is completely separate but next door to the Pen y Banc. They will not disturb your stay.

Wonderful property!
A spacious home and stunning views. The pictures don't do it justice... it was very spacious and had everything we needed. We'll never forget the views from the top floor especially. An easy walk into town or to the coastal path (it's steep coming home but it isn't as far up the hill as I thought).

About the host

Hosted by Rachael Copley

Host profile image
Hi I'm Rachael and I am the Property Manager for some lovely homes in Solva and St.Davids. I run a holiday letting agency called St Davids Escapes.

I love the St Davids Peninsula and moved here 18 years ago after many visits. It's a very special place and one that never fails to charm you. I have owned and managed holiday cottages ever since I arrived in St.Davids, so understand what makes a good holiday property and what guests are looking for during their stay.

I'm delighted to be looking after some lovely properties - they are all cared for as if they are my own. I'll happily let you know all the local insights and best places to eat, walk and shop and am on hand if there is anything I can help with during your stay.

Hope you enjoy x
