About Penrhiw Priory
Originally built in the 19th century as a Victorian priory, Penrhiw Priory has long been a peaceful sanctuary on the edge of St Davids. Surrounded by woodland, wildflower meadows and the quiet beauty of the cathedral close, it was designed as a place of reflection and retreat.
Over the years, the priory has been thoughtfully restored, each transformation preserving its calm, spiritual character while adapting it for modern comfort. Once a religious house and later a private residence, it is now an exclusive luxury retreat, offering elegant accommodation within its historic stone walls. Today, Penrhiw Priory blends heritage, contemporary style and natural tranquillity, providing a restorative escape in one of Wales’ most inspiring settings.
