PERFECT FOR PETS

Let’s be honest, if you’re holidaying with a dog then you’re probably better suited to holidaying outside of the summer months. These pups can have thick furry coats so spending long days at the beach under the glaring sun can be tough for them, but choose a stay a few weeks either side of the height of summer and you’ll be in good stead.

Enjoy a somewhat cooler sea breeze and lower temperatures as you play catch on the sand before your pooch runs off to chase waves on the incoming tide. Plus, that extra space awarded by the lack of crowds means your canine will have a little more freedom to stretch those legs with a good run.

Our team of dog lovers in the office know all too well that our four-legged friends often don’t care what the weather is doing; they’re just happy to feel the sand underfoot and to be out in a wide open space with the wind in their fur.

Come rain or shine, these comical pets who accompany us everywhere are simply pleased to be out and about with their humans. In fact, we know some of our hounds actually prefer it when the weather is a little blusterythat means more sticks to be found on the ground right?

We know some of you out there are bound to have the kind of pup who strives to get as wet, as muddy and as sandy as possible. We may know one or two of those ourselves! For these untamable companions, a winter break playing in foamy surf and soaked sand is a pooch’s paradise.

There’s always so much to see and do during a city break and that’s no different when you stay in St Davids, even if it is the smallest city in the UK. Choose Greystones House to be right in the heart of the action, moments away from the centre and the Cathedral.

Picture a Grade II listed house, built from the same stone as said Cathedral, nestled down a side street off Cross Square. An eclectic mix of antique and contemporary pieces furnish the rooms, local artwork decks the walls and original features add charm. Enjoy two reception rooms, both with woodburners, a handy utility room and a lovely enclosed rear garden with sheltered terrace.

One of the main positives about holidaying in St Davids during the low season is being presented with a little more breathing space. This small destination attracts plenty of travellers during the summer months so choosing an off-season week means you’ll have a little more time to focus on getting that perfect shot of the Cathedral for your Instagram feed, without having to worry about other explorers ruining your shot.

You’ll find there’s more room to browse the shops, more space to roam the streets and a few more seats up for grabs in the pubs - though traditional pubs like The Bishops are favoured amongst the locals too so they certainly won’t be empty. Spend your days touring the Bishop’s Palace or sightseeing St Nons Chapel before venturing around the Coast Path to St Justinians, Porthclais Harbour and St Davids Head. Choose a termtime week between Easter and October to take advantage of all the activities on offer; wildlife boat trips to Caldey and watersports at Whitesands.
