house built in the 1880s for coastguard officers, Alandale has a bright, cheerful atmo-
sphere and comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms. Ask for one at the back, which are
quieter and have sweeping countryside views.

Refectory at St Davids
(St Davids Cathedral; mains £5-9; 10am-5pm; )
Part of the ongoing restoration of the cathedral
cloister, the new refectory is a triumph of design. Medieval St Mary's Hall has been given
an ultramodern facelift, with blonde wood contrasting with the exposed stone walls and a
shiny mezzanine supported on slanted legs. Take a seat upstairs for better views. On
Sundays there's a traditional carvery.

(a rich, fruit tea loaf), and there are Welsh cheese platters, jacket
potatoes, soups and sandwiches.
