Pod Holiday Accommodation in St Davids

Parker's Folly is a Quaint and Cosy Bolthole on the Coast

Pod life in Pembrokeshire couldn’t get any better than a stay at Parker’s Folly near St Davids. Perched in the rural countryside right on the edge of the Coast Path, this one is a perfect choice for solo travellers or couples looking to indulge in culture, activities and more.

Set down an unmade lane within the owner’s extensive grounds, this iconic green pod boasts a secluded location only 100 metres from the world-class National Trail, the Wales Coast Path; a location which also boasts breathtaking views out to St Brides Bay.

Fronted by a lawned garden and a gravelled patio where you’ll likely spend hours soaking up the tranquillity of this coastline, Parker’s Folly is sure to be one you’ll want to return to again and again. The interiors may be compact as you’d expect with a pod but they’re of four-star quality here, boasting mod-cons such as a dishwasher and smart tv. There’s WiFi too! You even have your own utility room in the outside shed where you’ll find a washing machine and tumble dryer, handy if you’re packing light.

Naturally, you’ll spend most days heading out to explore the coastline; Caerbwdi Beach is easily accessible via the Path and is the closest bay to you. Lace up the boots and head west for days out at Caerfai before continuing to St Nons, Porthclais and St Justinians for epic views. The opposite direction leads you to Solva and onto Newgale via the lesser-travelled coves of Nine Wells and Porthmynawyd.

The charming city of St Davids is just a short distance away and oozes all things food, culture and history. Sightsee St Davids Cathedral in May for their annual music festival, book tickets for outdoor Shakespeare in the Bishop’s Palace and follow your own pub trail through the handful of traditional inns in the city.

Purchase gifts and homewares in the independent stores, pick up produce from the local butcher and greengrocer before heading into any of the many activity centres to join a boat trip or watersports session. Discover a utopia of insects at The Bug Farm, tour the nature reserve at Ramsey Island or spend beach days at Whitesands before trekking the summit at Carn Llidi for a sunset picnic.

Stay at Parker’s Folly and you’ll be blessed with both an idyllic holiday home and rich surroundings to travel.
