Coffee at the Warpool Court Hotel, St Davids

After our walk from Caerfai Bay to St Non's

we decided to go for coffee

to the lovely Warpool Court Hotel.

We approached the hotel through a tunnel of trees

I have been there several times to musical functions, weddings and also taken

friends and visitors for coffee.

It is so lovely and the views are outstanding!

We drove past the front to the car park under the trees and amidst the bluebells

We passed the red door (with the heraldry above it)

               and went in through the front door.

The doors from the lounge..

(oops excuse my crutch 

I didn't realise until I was there!!)

...open onto a lovely garden overlooking the bay

It's a gorgeous place to be!!

Part of the history of the Court is:

"In 1899 the house was sold to a widow with six children,

Mrs Ada Landsowne Miller who renamed it

'Warpool Court'

Assisted by her favourite son, Basil, Ada gave full reign to her hobby -

 the decoration of ceramic tiles.

The extraordinary tiles depicting the

genealogy and heraldry

of the family's ancestry - many traced to the early kings of Wales -

may be seen in the

present dining room and bar lounge.

Other tile sequences painted by Ada include a beautiful nursery frieze copied from Walter Crane's 'Flora's Feast'.  Arcadian landscapes and illustrated maxims on love in the 'Wedgewood Room.'"

  The above photos and history have been copied with the permission of the management of the Warpool Court Hotel. Thank you

The rest of the photos I took, showing the tiles surrounding three fireplaces

and various wall panels





I hope that you agree this is a most beautiful place!?

We head home under the tunnel of trees!
