Court House

Court House is a listed building dating back to the 17th century, set in the heart of the city of St. Davids.

The House provides self-catering accommodation for groups of up to 23. For over five decades the House has served as a base for a wide range of visitors, including educational and youth groups as well as smaller parties and families.

Visitors to Court House will find themselves a stone’s throw from the historic Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace as well as beaches, coastal paths and the city’s shops, restaurants, galleries and many attractions.

Court House is managed and maintained by the non-profit making Charitable Trust, the Community of St. David.

Covid-19 update: Court House is open for bookings. We are continuously reviewing our policies to make sure we are in line with government advice and taking all reasonable measures to ensure visitor and staff welfare.

Court House is simply but pleasantly furnished with gas central heating. Its eight bedrooms, with between one and six beds in each room, offer flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 23 people.

Visitors will find a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room and smaller breakfast room, a large, comfortable lounge with a traditional open fire, three shower/bathrooms, as well as laundry and drying facilities. Behind the House is a sun-trap courtyard and beyond, a spacious enclosed garden leading onto Curtis House and the Warden’s cottage.

There is a ground floor single bedroom suitable for wheelchair users. We are currently investing in further adaptations to the House to make it fully accessible for visitors with disabilities.

This unique and rugged corner of Wales has its own very special qualities and beauty.

St. Davids, Britain’s smallest city, was once the medieval centre of Celtic Christianity. Its great Cathedral and the ruins of the Bishop’s Palace bear testimony to its importance in an age when two pilgrimages to St. Davids equalled one to Rome. Surrounded on three sides by water – and some of the country’s finest beaches and most exhilarating coastal walks and views – no visitor is ever short of things to do, see or delight in.

Court House is situated in the heart of St. Davids. It can be reached by road or by public transport – Fishguard and Haverfordwest are the closest train stations with regular, local bus connections running from both to the centre of St. Davids.
