" W. Williams beg to inform the Nobility, Gentry, Commercial Gentlemen and the Public generally. that the Commercial Hotel is now closed. having removed the establishment to a more convenient premises in the same (High) Street known as the GROVE HOUSE, where he trusts by strict attention and moderate charges to retain that liberal patronage bestowed upon him for the last thirty years. and thereby gratefully returns his sincere thanks. An omnibus leaves this Hotel every Tuesday and Saturday at 6 a.m. for the Mariners Hotel Haverfordwest returning at 4 p.m. Close and open carriages, post horses and livery stables.
Grove house September 6th 1869"

After some 140 years this picturesque family run Georgian hotel is still going strong in the centre of the little city of St Davids. Whether one stays in the hotel or in a welsh holiday cottage a good meal can be had here. Hearty pub food is served in the bar as well as Welsh Brains beers, continental beers, premium spirits and excellent wines. There is fine dining in the restaurant with the menu changing daily to reflect the availability of locally sourced produce. Nibbles and grazing platters are available from early evening.
