One of my favourite places to visit whenever we are in Pembrokeshire. A beautiful cathedral offering peace and sanctity. Information boards throughout the building. A lovely cafe. Parking is not too far away with several blue badge spots. The cathedral is wheelchair friendly.

So easy to find and car park literally across the road, though it is small and may be an issue at peak time. The cathedral grounds are amazing, and you can access all areas. Lots to see and learn and the cathedral is stunning inside and out. Also can take your four-legged friends when touring the grounds so a fab few hours out for all.

Walking tour with very well informed guide. Ked us down the path to the Bishops Palace with a walk by the grand cathedral. Details about the times, job description of the Bishops and the work entailed in the buildings. Wonderful opportunity

St David’s Cathedral is breathtaking—a place rich in history and full of tranquility. Walking through its ancient stone walls, you feel the weight of centuries of worship. The peaceful atmosphere invites reflection, making it a truly special and spiritual landmark to visit in Wales.

First time visiting. Wow just wow, fantastic cathedral. Really beautiful. The village/town has lots of nice shops. Completely worth a visit. Will be going back

What a cracking place to vist we live a cathedral tbh but this was well worth it. Nice staff loads of information and we also had Cadw membership to get into the Bishops palace for free. Well worth seeing as well sadly we missed the gate house but still a cracking vist do worth it.

An absolute stunner of a cathedral. Parking is a little way away from the city and there isn't a huge amount of spaces which could be a problem at busy periods. The cathedral has different time periods and architectural styles. There is so much to see, so much history to learn. There is also a cafe on site with toilets. The bishops palace is nearby, (also worth a look (charge)) do be aware its a working church and there are private services which can restrict entering, so do some homework before you go

Great place to explore the wildlife, boat trips leave at 10 and 12 return at 1600, we did the 10 till 1600 and just about did the whole island, definitely worth it, don't forget food and drink as there's not much else there, just wildlife 😁.

Brilliant island for those interested in nature photography! I visited in September and there were hundreds of seals. I do recommend a telescopic camera as the largest beach with seals is not accessible by foot.

A great island to explore, walk and experience a beautiful managed island full of nature!

Ferry boat trips to Ramsey Island daily from Easter to 1st October departing 10.00 or 12.00 returning 12.00 or 16.00

Fantastic RIB tour around Ramsey Island in Wales

A beautiful, windswept place surrounded by clear blue water. Breathtaking cliffs and moorland. See no other souls apart from the wealth of birdlife and occasionally, seals and porpoise.

Booked the ferry over to Ramsey Island with Thousand Islands Expeditions, what a lovely place, we were met by the wardens had a quick briefing then left to explore with a map. we got to see lots of seals down in the bays with their pups.

Absolutely stunning, a must visit place when in Pembrokeshire.

A brilliant day out, allowing 4 hours to explore the natural beauty of this island with copious wildlife. Boat across and back is well organised and efficient. Bring boots and binoculars, and aim to reach one of the summits, the views are superb.

Beautiful views full of Gods creation

Lots of wildlife and very blue water

This is a great day out, we went on a boat trip on Gower Ranger around the island then landed on the island for the afternoon.

Remote but full of wild birds brilliant experience

Beautiful beach ideal for surfing and body boarding. £6 parking for the day. Toilets cost 40p and there is a cafe on site. Lovely walks across the front to some shallow caves.

Such a stunning beach! Toilets available at a small fee of 40p. Plenty of parking (we visited in November) Perfect place for the dog to run wild. Good conditions for surfing too, saw a couple of people out surfing. Would highly recommend

Great vibes, one of the best place to watch sunset. Offers variety of hike options. Plenty of parking which costs 6£ per day, 4£ after 3pm.

Fantastic beach. Great facilities , unspoiled area. Good for families, easy access to coastal area. Lifeguard in attendance . Excellent local beach shop / coffee shop.

Good local bus service, life guards on watch. Biggish carpark. Nice beach when tide not fully in. Paid toilets. See supposed to be a dog free beach April to Oct.

Beautiful beach with life guards. Not too busy. Great cafe serving pastries, coffee and ice cream. Only downside is the 40p cost for the toilet.

Lovely sandy beach to visit. There is a rock that you can climb up and have the full view (its amazing when the weather is nice). Parking is available and it cost £6 for the day. There is a cafe there as well if you fancy something to eat or drink. Recommend

What an interesting place and in such an idyllic place. There's a wide range of wooden goods for sale, working looks, a lovely waterwheel and a cafe. One lady member of staff is particularly friendly and attentive, rushing between till and café. Well worth a visit.

We visited Solva Woollen Mill when holidaying in Pembrokeshire. We wanted to take back local woollen items made with Welsh wool, and this place was just the perfect place. We bought a runner for our kitchen, a rug that we think will go very well in front of our fireplace and a couple of jumpers and ponchos. Very happy with their collection and the absolutely lovely staff. My dad is a retired textile engineer, so I’m definitely visiting again with him.

Absolutely lovely place! The beautifully woven textiles, rugs, jumpers, and various wool products are a true testament to the craftsmanship at Solva Woollen Mill. The oldest mill in Pembrokeshire. The coffee, adorned with traditional patterns, adds a special touch to the visit. I also loved that you can purchase bags of thrums for just £5, allowing you to own a piece of this heritage and support the mill. A must-visit for anyone in Pembrokeshire!

Well worth a visit to this small mill, shop and tea room, to marvel at the craftsmanship and dedicated work involved in weaving and to sigh over (if not purchase!) the beautiful rugs, carpets and blankets sold from its shop. Really cute tea room too with very tasty cakes.

Really enjoyable visit to a working woollen mill. You can watch the rugs being made, the overflow wheel working, visit the charming shop and enjoy a delicious cake and tea. Well worth a visit.

It annoys me when people write reviews and say the place is expensive without doing due diligence on looking at the costs of similar goods in similar places (not that there are many working mills outside of Yorkshire or Lancashire tbh though). Yes you can buy an artisan product here - hand woven using Welsh and English wool - and they are expensive but have a look at an Emma Mellor or if you think they're expensive a Jaipurrug and you'll see what value they actually represent. I'm also irritated by those who say you can't learn about weaving but the fellow I had a chat with who was working the loom (an ex-journalist re-skilling and keeping these beautiful old machines running) was super knowledgeable and told us lots about the wool, how it's worked and where the textiles they make end up; my suggestion is always ask if you wanna know! Anyway, a beautiful little diversion, nice brew and some very nice postcards - well worth an hour of anyone's time im humble opinion.

We dropped into Solva Woollen Mill and ended up seeing a piece of history at work. It’s tucked just inland from the coast in the village of Middle Mill and claims the title of Pembrokeshire’s oldest working woollen mill, in operation since 1907. The 'vintage' pieces like the timecard machine were really cool to see!

Nice gallery and coffee shop In Solva high street just down from the small bridge.

I went in and was ignored by various staff present, even when trying to greet them. Having visited many similar galleries in my time, I always value when artists take time to greet customers and perhaps even chat about their artwork. I will be sticking to those other galleries in future. Felt very unwelcome and will not be returning.

What a haven!!! Such a lovely atmosphere. Raul and Heather are fantastic gallery hosts. I felt able to view the artwork in my own way without feeling any pressure or that I was intruding into their space. And a genuine pleasure to see Raul working on his current piece.

Leaving 3 stars, as to not reflect badly on the other artists. However, when visiting I took a quick, general photograph of the space (not of any specific artwork). Instead of politely explaining the no photo policy (of which I did not see any signage), I was rudely confronted by a lady sitting in the cafe area. This left me feeling patronised and uncomfortable, will not be returning.

Fabulous place, quirky and friendly. I was booked a suprise workshop with Raul, what a treat! Totally inspired and ready for the next phase of my life journey "retirement" with lots of art! Thanks Raul excited to now get out the paints and have fun 🎨definitely recommend. Also big thank you to Heather for organising the workshop, and your coffee is superb ❤️

Amazing place, amazing artwork and amazing and lovely people!

Lovely art gallery inside an old Chapel on Solva main street.great art work.also has a really quirky coffee shop with great coffee and homemade cakes and a selection of gifts and jewellery.the owner was really welcoming.The artist is also musically talented and has cds for sale

We enjoyed a few nights in the Bishops whilst staying the week in St.Davids. We had fun and the food is decent. The beer selection is broadly similar to the Cross and the Farmers, great for cask beer not so hot for craft beer. Usual selection of lagers and a couple of ciders . The outside seating area is really nice with great views and it makes a great sun trap! ☀️ The people here were all super attentive, and very efficient. Never had to wait long even when busy.

Fantastic food outside in the sunshine. Dogs welcome. Food was quick, very well made and service was prompt and efficient by well trained staff. Beer was perfect on the sunny day. Will definitely be returning.

One of the best pubs we have enjoyed on our travels across the UK. Lovely atmosphere (wood beams, low ceilings, wood burner perfect for a cold October evening), plus a lively local clientele. Situated just across the street from St. Davids War Memorial (town square) and minutes from the amazing cathedral. Real ales on offer and the best burger I've had in some time. We enjoyed it for dinner on our first night in St. Davids and came back for after dinner drink the next night.

It’s very nice sitting in the beer garden in the sun, very relaxing and comfortable. Nice coffee and scone. Dog is welcome in the back of the pub outdoor area. Not inside the pub.

Really nice pub with excellent food! The menu has plenty of good options to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. A lovely spot to relax and enjoy a meal — definitely worth visiting.

Had the Shepards pie here and holy moly. It was delicious. A hearty meal, made me happy. Plus, a lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff. A pleasure to meet you all! Love from London.

Lovely salad would have liked more smoked salmon it was very sparse. I would have even been prepared to pay another couple of pounds to have a decent amount of salmon.

What a fabulous pub! Ideally located in the coastal town of Solva, Pembrokeshire where you can pop in for a drink or something to eat after taking a walk along the beach or woodland path with beautiful views. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this delightful, cosy pub with its great menu and excellent wine selection. They have wine produced in Wales as well as locally sourced seafood.

My family and I celebrated my 70th Birthday there with an excellent buffet for 30 guests, prepared by Robin and his very helpful team. We stayed three nights, eating in the restaurant [14 people], and breakfasted each morning. The food was super and service excellent throughout. A short walk takes you past some interesting shops, good pubs and down to the harbour which is very picturesque.

Wonderful food and a fantastic dining experience. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and full of positive energy. We especially loved the décor with the hop garlands adding a cosy, characterful touch. The food was clearly made with care, served in generous portions, and full of flavour. One review mentioned the menu not being large enough, but a more focused menu usually means higher quality, which is certainly the case here. We visited in July and would be delighted to come back again.

had the most incredible soft life reset thanks to this beautiful couple. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed, cared for, and nourished—body, mind, and spirit. Every detail was thoughtful and intentional, creating a space that felt safe, restorative, and deeply grounding. If you’re looking for more than just a break—but a real chance to reset, reconnect with yourself, and be surrounded by genuine love and hospitality—this is the place. I left lighter, calmer, and filled with gratitude. A true gift.

We had a splendid dinner. The food and wine was excellent, service unhurried but attentive. There was a convivial atmosphere, no music just folk enjoying being together. Easy parking and a nice walk by the harbour afterwards.

Went last night with my partner for some food Booking was fairly easy and staff were accommodating The room we sat in was quite full so very loud. Wait time was okay for food.. didn’t bother with desert and the wait time got out of hand so left to go elsewhere for desert Waitress didn’t know much about what was on the menu or what was in certain drinks etc so had a coke instead , had the lamb cutlets which were nice but not very filling so had to order sides with it as it seemed to just be two bits of lamb in a sauce Unfortunately the menu wasn’t very large and not that much choice like it used to be back in 2016 There is now only 2 fat burgers in 2016/17 there used to be so many choices in burgers and they used to be SO good! Price quite good £60 for 2 people just mains and sides and drinks Such a shame about the menu choices and lack of burgers now on the menu as they used to be me and mg friends go to just for the burgers alone!! Don’t think we’ll be returning any time soon gone down hill since a few years ago

We came here Thursday. It was so good we came back Friday and Saturday!! Service out of this world, food amazing, literally nothing was too much trouble. Forgot to mention dog on Friday. Robin and staff went out of their way to seat us privately. Came back Saturday and there was a dog bowl at our table!! So much thought and kindness. On all 3 occasions the food was exceptional, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. A huge thumbs up to Robin and his team… we will be back as The Cambrian is our favourite place to eat in Pembrokeshire. All the best. Cae and Wayne

BEWARE Tourist trap cafe. Hyped up prices for basic food. A sausage roll and 2 ham sandwiches with one coffee came to £20. No value for money here and nothing special about it. The prices on the wine, Welsh cakes, and coffee beans were also crazy. Go to your local Londis beforehand and get yourself some sandwiches there. Save yourself 50% Edit, due to the reply. You're not a restaurant, you're a cafe within a cathedral whose main customers are tourists many of whom are the elderly. People don't want artisan anything in a cafe, or if some do, there should be other options for those who don't. A choice would be a better way of doing business. Your main customers are those who visit St David's for the cathedral and not to visit an 'artisan' cafe with extremely high prices. I saw the map on your wall where you get your produce from. No different to how far the Londis is or a local Premier store is, which people will pass on their way through to St David's. I make my own wine and mead, none of which could ever cost £35 a bottle, especially when it's made in bulk. Maybe your supplier is mugging you off? Also, you're not a coffee shop, so again, you're using other businesses prices to justify your own. The ham sandwich I had was certainly nothing special and overpriced. It certainly didn't feel or taste 'artisan'. One thin slice of ham in a bread roll. Shocking. And how about supporting local butchers? Try sourcing your sausage rolls from Motts in Pembroke ( less than £2 for 1) £3.50 for 1 sausage roll is scandalous. St David's is tiny and without the tourists you wouldn't be able to survive. Try using less staff too and pass the savings onto the customer. And lastly, Welsh cakes cost pennies to make. Again, why do you have to match other businesses in terms of costs to justify your own? Are you unable to set your own prices based on fairness? You're not as special as you make out. Sorry, but you could be much, much better

Hi, I just wanted to review this awesome place! Went here on Saturday with my friend for breakfast and got chai latte (delicious) and my friend veggie breakfast while I had loaded veggie bun. We both have enjoyed our breakfast. I liked the bun itself but also the Welsh cake that been added to the top of it. The atmosphere is very nice. The only downfall was the waiting time despite of not being very busy.

So I accidentally visited the actual bakery in the industrial estate (another review going there!) but got to briefly visit the cafe and had the soup of the day - tomato soup with leek Welshcakes. After tasting the original that day, I didn’t expect savoury ones and holy moly it was delicious! Worked so well. I ended up buying 5 packs of different flavours to take home and this is a review from a friend I gave a pack to - he chose the triple chocolate: “Love the welshcakes :) It's like a cookie and bread and cake had a kid” Thank you for my first (and surely not last) Welshcakes. The people and atmosphere were just a lovely as the food I had the pleasure of eating. Kept me happy on the drive back to London!

We went there for breakfast and had a great table with delicious food, friendly service and the best welshcakes! The atmosphere is very good. You don’t have to enter St David’s cathedral to get there, if you don’t want to. But the cathedral can be recommended as well! Really impressive and interesting!

Had delicious coffee here and the welsh cakes were great. Lovely warmed up. We tried one of each flavour. Would be nice to have a larger variety as there were both chai and cinnamon welsh cakes which we found had a very similar flavour. The cinnamon ones were our favourites along with the traditional. Cafe is in a lovely setting - would definitely recommend a visit.

I really liked the way the café combines modern design with ancient architecture. We tried the Welsh cake breakfast with tea, which was delicious.

Nice cafe inside St David's Cathedral (no direct external access). Focusing on Welsh Cakes, but also with Rarebit, toasties, soups. It's in the old Rectory which is nice. Mushroom soup was a little thin. Rarebit tasted better than it looked. Ham and cheese toastie was a bit anemic and not very toasted. Welsh cakes are not my thing, but my partner loved them. They have sweet and savory varieties. Coffee and tea was good. We had no problem getting a lunch table on a rainy weekday. Trivial pursuit cards on every table are a nice conversation starter Neat idea.
