Smithy Cottage Nr. Solva, central on St Davids Peninsula

• Near to St Davids on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and tucked away in the tiny hamlet of Skyfog, the Smithy Cottage is a modern pet friendly cottage on the site of an ancient farm dwelling (1798). 
• Newly decorated and comfortably furnished with many intriguing photographs and original paintings by the talented owner, the cottage is set within a small enclosure containing the old Smithy - the tools are left as the blacksmith finished on his last working day in the 1940's. The neighbouring clog maker's workshop was recently removed intact to be preserved in the National Folk Museum of Wales at St Fagans!
• South facing and catching the morning sunshine, the grounds are full of wildlife and run down to the passing stream and across a small bridge to the meadows beyond. 
• A footpath leads you on to the nearby 50 acre Skyfog Common (NT), designated an SSSI and free for you to roam. The orchard is planted with apple, plum, pear and quince trees and guests are invited to enjoy the fruit as it ripens.

• Skyfog is a tranquil hamlet on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in an ideal location for easy access to the villages and beaches of the whole of the St Davids Peninsula.

• Solva's pretty harbour village, encircled by the coastal path lulls the visitor with the chinking of boat masts and lures them with clothes and antique shops, restaurants and pubs and the nearby Solva Woollen Mill.

• Specialists in woven floor rugs and runners Solva Woollen Mill is a wonderful place to visit. Watch the traditional looms at work, browse the shop full of Welsh woollen goods and more and enjoy refreshments in the lovely Mill Cafe.

• At St Davids the beautiful medieval Cathedral and Bishop's Palace are an essential visit - the buildings are historic and remarkable and programmes of music and plays are staged throughout the year.

• A stunningly beautiful and rugged coastline surrounds the city within 1-2 miles. Throughout the season boats go to land and go round Ramsey Island from the lifeboat station at St Justinian and, for the more intrepid, from the beach at Whitesands. It is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts of all sorts and the local outdoor centres are keen for your custom.

• The coast path can be joined all around the peninsula - thick with flowers in the spring and an ever-changing panorama of sea and sky, it is a source of pleasure for all whether you want to stride out, walk the dog or just stretch your legs!
