The Waterings was an excellent place to stay. It was very quiet, spotlessly clean and comfortable and only a short walk from the town centre. My room had a large bathroom with a shower and bath. …

Excellent B&B in St David’s (Wales). Bungalow style rooms en suite. It’s friendly, clean and everything is in perfect order. The rooms are facing a very cosy courtyard with a beautiful fishpond (with a seagull that is so far unsuccessfully trying to snatch the fish). Will (the owner) goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. Highly recommended!

Worked around the COVID rules really well, it was a self-contained apartment opening onto a large courtyard. The room size was great for the two of us with a nice lounge area & good sized bathroom (with bath). …
