About the host
Hosted by Kate Berkinshaw-David and Penny David
My neice Kate and I inherited the cottage in 2009 from our cousin, Nancy Bayly nee Howells, a well-known and much-loved figure in the area. The cathedral flag flew at half-mast for Nancy's funeral and the Lifeboat Association provided a guard of honour.
Our family lived in and around St Davids for centuries but have now all moved away. I live in central London. Carol and I couldn't bear to sell Ty Nancy - we'd had so many wonderful holidays with Nancy when we were children. But we couldn't afford to keep it either. So we decided to see if we could rent it for holidays and will come down ourselves in the gaps! Nancy would be very pleased with this idea. She'd love to welcome you to the cottage and and would want you and us to have a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property
Many people remember Ty Nancy from visits to St Davids. They think of it as 'the pink cottage,' overlooking the cathedral. When we were children, staying in the pink cottage, Nancy would show us how to tell a buzzard from a peregrine falcon, and where the badgers and foxes ran at night. She kept bees, and knew a huge amount about their lives and activities.
We had the best ever holidays in St Davids, and still visited when we could during our adult lives.
On the right of the driveway is the ancient 'cowled' spring of Quickwell, once an important source of water for all St Davids. Some people think the 'cowl' round the door is there because the spring was used by the abbey. Nowadays it is kept firmly locked shut.

What makes this property unique
St Davids is well-known as the smallest cathedral city in the UK. It's little larger than a village, but there are plenty of food shops and restaurants covering all price ranges.
The good thing about St Davids is that not only is it an area of stunning beauty, with the coastal path in particular within easy walking distance, but also it's got plenty of things to do other than walking. The cathedral and Bishop's Palace are amazing, and there are lots of amusements for children and adults.
Also, the people are incredibly kind. We'll forever be grateful to the Bennett family - who restored the cottage for us in 2010/11 - for all the 'extras' they did for us like helping find people to do the changeovers, and rushing down to accept parcels from the postman!
