Our title refers to 5* as we've been fortunate enough to have received over 100 x 5 Star reviews, many from returning travellers. We take pride in having good communication with our guests and we look forward to hearing from you if you'd like to spend some time in this wonderful part of the country with our house as your base.
Ty Glasfryn has been carefully renovated and furnished to a high standard. It is a stone built, former doctor's surgery and farmhouse dating from the 1850's with over 3,000 sqft of character-filled space in which you can spread out and relax. There's even a former servant's staircase which guests tell us is great for children's hide & seek!
We have recently re-carpeted and re-decorated throughout, and also included some new furniture for your added comfort.
We can sleep up to 12. There are 5 comfortable, large bedrooms with tall ceilings and other Victorian features. Bedroom 5 is accessed through bedroom 4.
The quality furnishings include mostly Vi-Spring mattresses with 2 x King size, 2 x Super king size (which can be split into singles if required) and 2 full-size bunks. There are also 2 x adult size 'Z' beds, with comfy, sprung mattresses for use in any room if needed to increase the sleeping options to 12. A travel cot and highchair are available on request. Do browse through our photos to see the style of the rooms and we can supply basic floor plans to show the layout if required.
There are 3 showers, one bath and 4 loos in the 2 family bathrooms, en-suite and ground floor cloakroom plus a further courtyard WC and hot & cold outdoor shower for sandy wet-suits or mucky dogs! You'll gather that well-behaved dogs are welcome here.
We look out over fields and are yet only about 700m from the centre of St Davids, or another short walk to the coastal path and nearest beach. There is a convenient footpath opposite which leads to a large and well-stocked supermarket past a sizeable outdoor children's play area with swings etc (both within less than 5 mins stroll) and all the other central facilities St Davids facilities are nearby.
The Council have upgraded Glasfryn Road to incorporate a new pavement link towards the award-winning Visitors Centre and then on to the middle of St Davids. This runs opposite our house and provides the opportunity to walk safely into the nearby central area without having to worry about parking in busier times.
Our location is ideal for you to access all this important and historic small City has to offer, including its wonderful Cathedral, the remnants of the Bishop's Palace and other monuments. The surrounding countryside and coastline within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is magnificent and has so much wildlife for you to discover.
The house sits in approx 1/3 acre with a number of mature trees and a south facing, mostly lawned garden. The perimeter is fenced and has been made as dog-proof as possible. The driveway is gated with parking for at least 5 cars and the south facing patio has a teak table and chairs for outdoor eating. There are steamer chairs and other outdoor furniture available for relaxing and we also have a covered area for table tennis together with a large, purpose-built charcoal BBQ. From the first-floor landing, and two of the bedrooms, there are lovely panoramic views over St Davids towards the coastline at Whitesands beach which is about 2 miles away. It's a great spot to watch the sun set over Cardigan Bay too.
For all your self-catering needs we have a 4 oven Aga in a large, very well-equipped kitchen with a separate electric oven and gas hob for non-Aga users. We have a dishwasher, large fridge, a microwave and a separate fridge/freezer in the utility room. There is a log burner in each of the two reception rooms and radiator central heating throughout. The new wooden windows are double glazed, adding to our significant investment in insulation throughout the house.
We provide a large, 'smart' TV with freeview channels and various apps, bluetooth speaker and a fast Wi-Fi service is available for guests to use.
Ty Glasfryn is ideally suited for small or large groups providing family holiday accommodation for all generations. It offers a peaceful, comfortably spacious, well-equipped and conveniently located holiday home as a base for you to explore everything Pembrokeshire has to offer, at all times of the year.
Should you wish to stay for less or more than 7 nights or arrive other than on our usual Saturday changeover day, then please ask us if this is possible and for a specific price. We do not let for less than 3 nights, nor I'm afraid do we accept bookings from Hen or Stag parties.
A welcome pack of basic provisions is provided on your arrival.
Lastly, we have a good mobile signal at the house due to nearby phone masts.
If you have any questions about Ty Glasfryn or St Davids and the wider area, then just let us know.
Best Wishes, Liz and David Cooke

Peaceful and well equipped
By Isabel on 01-May-2026I stayed with a group of friends for a long weekend in May. We had a lovely relaxed time despite the rain as the house has plenty of space and lots of cooking equipment. The location is perfect as it is spacious with green space but easily walkable into St David's where there are many ice cream shops, cafes and art galleries.

Perfect place to stay if you want to explore West Wales!
By Nigel Davies on 24-Apr-2026We stayed at Ty Glasfryn for a long weekend at the end of March along with our 3 daughters and their partners and 4 children. Our experience from the start was superb, the owners really do cater for everything. After arrival and sorting out bedrooms we decided on a takeaway, if you like Indian then the Saffron in St Davids city won't disappoint. Next day the Bug Farm (not popular with some!), followed by a bbq at Glasfryn, friends from Solva joined us for the event and there was an excess of plates ,cutlery etc. All the rooms at the house were cosy and warm and if you needed a bit extra just lean against the Aga! Sunday we walked a short stretch of the coastal path (out of the gate turn left and keep walking and you'll find the path) to White Sands, just wonderful! Back then for the cars and on to the Blue Lagoon. Very late lunch at the Bishops and sightseeing at the Cathedral. At the house in the evening for some games (of which there's a multitiude), a couple of G n T's a bottle of wine and soft drinks for the Kids. Really cannot fault the house or St Davids, already trying to work out dates when we can do it all again next year. thoroughly recommended. To cap it all Liz and David (the owners) knowing it was the first celebration of our 50th Anniversary year sent us a fabulous bouquet of flowers. Thank you so much for the use of your home.

A great house to accommodate all ages
By Jenny Franey on 04-Apr-2026We stayed at Tyglasfryn for a week over Easter .This was our third stay here ,it really does tick all the boxes ! Very well equipped kitchen,two lounges and plenty of space for all the adults and children . The garden is delightful and being so close to all the shops makes life easy if you need anything. Whitesands beach is amazing and the children spent hours there running up to the waves and back. We have already booked for next Easter!

New Year 2025
By Rachel on 30-Dec-2025We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful holiday home. The property was spacious, well laid out, and excellent value for money. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us plus our dog, without ever feeling crowded. The scenery surrounding the house is absolutely stunning, and the location is perfect — peaceful and quiet, yet still very accessible. Even with some members of our group having slight mobility issues, we found the location and layout worked really well. We especially loved the many thoughtful personal touches throughout the house, and the welcome package was such a lovely touch and really made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We would 100% recommend this property to others looking for a beautiful place to stay in West Wales. It’s an ideal location for a relaxing holiday, and we’d happily return.
Absolutely brilliant
By Trevor on 25-Oct-2025Totally recommend Ty Glasfryn. We had a great time as a family gathering. Comfort everywhere, kitchen fully equipped (we made Christmas cakes), great holiday location. Spacious rooms and sound doesn't travel so always space to get some peace and quiet while kids play
