Penrhiw Priory
Slow Mornings & Relaxed Evenings
Whether you spend the day exploring Pembrokeshire or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the Priory grounds, Penrhiw makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the moment.
There is something wonderfully unhurried about staying at Penrhiw Priory. Tucked away in the peaceful cathedral valley of St Davids, it is a place where mornings begin slowly, afternoons invite you outdoors and evenings are made for settling in.
Slow Mornings
Wake up without an alarm, open the curtains and let the peaceful surroundings set the pace for the day. When you’re ready, enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the gardens, with the changing light and birdsong providing the perfect backdrop.
There is nowhere you need to rush to and nothing you need to tick off your list. Just good food, beautiful surroundings and another morning to enjoy. Perhaps linger over another cup of coffee, step outside into the gardens or simply settle into the slower rhythm of life at Penrhiw.
Nature on Your Doorstep
Wander through the surrounding woodlands, following the paths at your own pace as the landscape changes with the seasons. Listen for birds among the trees, look out for woodland wildlife and take a moment to appreciate the quiet.
Then make your way into the meadow, where there is always something to discover. Pause among the wildflowers and keep an eye out for butterflies, bees and other wildlife moving through the grasses. It’s the kind of place where a short walk can easily become an afternoon spent simply enjoying your surroundings.
A Stroll into St Davids
One of the joys of Penrhiw is its wonderfully peaceful setting, while still being close enough to walk into the heart of St Davids.
Leave the Priory behind and follow the paths towards the city, with the cathedral valley unfolding around you. Before long, you’ll find yourself at St Davids Cathedral, one of Pembrokeshire’s most iconic landmarks, before continuing into the heart of Britain’s smallest city.
Spend a little time exploring the galleries, independent shops and cafés, or simply wander through the historic streets before making your way back to the quiet of Penrhiw.
Relaxed Evenings
As the sun begins to set, return to Penrhiw and take one last stroll around the grounds.
Watch the evening light settle across the gardens, listen to the sounds of the countryside and take a moment to appreciate the stillness. Then head inside, settle into the lounge and pour yourself a glass of your favourite wine from the honesty bar.
Perhaps you’ll sit and chat long into the evening, curl up with a good book or simply enjoy the company of those you’re travelling with. At Penrhiw, there is no need to fill every moment. Sometimes the best part of a getaway is having nowhere else to be.
Slow mornings, Relaxed evenings
This is the rhythm of a stay at Penrhiw Priory.
