The cafe sits above one of the many nick nack shops selling the sort of useless crap you would never ever consider parting good money with were it not for the fact that you are on holiday and money doesn't actually work like that on holiday. It's impossibly small up there. Three people work behind a counter big enough for only one and a half. They manage to stick five tables in where only three should really fit, one with a comfy sofa should you be lucky enough to bagsy it. The loo defies all laws of physics and you shouldn't attempt negotiating it unless you are a black belt in yoga. But there is room outside too. And the aspect is rather lovely. You have the war memorial behind you which seems to act as the city centre, a meeting place always and a market place once a week (if you can call six stalls a market) where all the bright coloured cagouls congregate. In front of you is the splendid St David's Cathedral, well over a thousand years old sitting at the bottom of the hill that we're mercifully at the top of. It's beautifully picturesque and a nice way to while away an hour in the morning with their decent coffee, excellent hot chocolate or standard tea. The carrot cake, the cherry tart and the walnut cake are most excellent accompaniments. For more reviews in and around this magical spot in West Wales do take a look at my views on...

Having heard good things about the Refectory, we booked a table for Sunday Lunch recently - and…read morewere hugely disappointed! On arrival, we had to queue up in a VERY slow line at the servery (they were woefully understaffed), then again with our trays at the till, and then again whilst we waited for a staff member to top up the condiment dishes before we were eventually able to carry our meals up the stairs to our reserved table. By which time my roast dinner was almost cold. I has chosen the turkey, but the meat on my plate neither looked or tasted like turkey... The vegetables (one of which was unidentifiable but could possibly have been squash?) were less than appetising. The cost of the meal was about comparable to a good pub lunch, but considering the queue and the quality of the food we felt distinctly underwhelmed. Later in the week we returned to the refectory a couple of times for coffee and tea - both of which were excellent. We may have experienced a one-off blip with the lunch, but I'm afraid we would make a point of avoiding it for a main meal in future.

It's thoroughly modern in it's design and layout, yet compliments the history that surrounds it perfectly. The food is lovingly made. Fresh ingredients, well put together, canteen style, no fuss, no bother, prices which reflect that. Good veg dishes, lots of salads and pastas. And nice cake selection too. I believe it's all made on the premises You could happily eat at the refectory every lunchtime. And the Sunday roast is really very good. A well cooked huge plate of food under a tenner. Free water from the cooler, free wifi if you need it. Job's a good 'un. A classic example of a modern venture which respects it's wonderful surroundings. Who would begrudge queuing for that? Not me.

To give you a sample, on a recent visit, I had hummus with spiced lamb and golden raisins, served with homemade toasted focaccia , with bara brith for afters, and an ocean of tea. Note the location is _only_ accessible by foot, unless you are a Blue Badge holder. There is a National Trust car park three minutes walk away. You would also be fifteen minutes (steep) walk from Marloes Beach, which is beautiful. You can book, although there is no need if you're happy to sit outside.

Surf Side is great in the summer when all you fancy is a nice icy cool drink. However I personally love it in the winter, when you can watch the violent sea through the window, whilst you're all cosy on the sofa enjoying the wood burning stove inside! The food is excellent, especially their Victoria spongecake which is mouthwateringly good! Cakes aside they also serve sandwiches, ciabattas, paninis, as well as hot and cold drinks. It has become a family ritual, that after a nice walk along the coast path we always finish up here for a hot chocolate and cake!

The shop/cafe is right on the road guarding the entrance to the car park next to the falls by the bridge. Have a full breakfast and ask to take your laden plateful down to the waters edge or use one of the picnic tables nestling in the wooded slope. The food is cafe style - straight forward - coffee is instant so don't get too exited by the idea of a Costa style Americano - this is getting back to nature stuff. Either pay £2 for the car park here or scoot round to the other side of the river and turn down the road by the Three Horseshoes Inn, hoping to find a free car park space down on the right (if lucky as only a few)- absolutely gorgeous spot frequented by salmon fishermen and happy watchers. Get your walking boots on and tramp upstream if the fancy takes you and you have more time - or just laze around for a bit and then head off to Cardigan (maybe stopping at Cilgerran Castle for spectacular views over the gorge). A couple of other spots in the village might be worth poking your head around, like the pub and the local antiques center and nearby cheese factory, again if you have time. Recommended location. Hope this is useful.
