Penrhiw Priory has a history stretching back centuries. The site was once one of the three Bishopric farms of St Davids, with a 14th-century longhouse forming part of the original buildings. The present house was built in 1884 as a vicarage for the Church in Wales. In the 1960s, Penrhiw began a new chapter as a priory for the Community of St John the Evangelist, becoming home to a community of nuns. They lived and worshipped here until 1985, when the priory closed. After later serving as a guesthouse and retreat, Penrhiw was carefully restored and reopened as the luxury retreat it is today.
