Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lots of excellent books on a huge variety of subjects. The owner had extensive knowledge of St Davids and pembrokeshire. Bice little bookshop.

Really good bookshop and the book shop owner was very pleasant. Spoilt for choice with the vast amount of books there. Would definitely go back. Worth a visit.

Located close to the Cathedral, this bookshop is an absolute gem with an absolutely wonderfully eclectic selection of books. It is an absolute must to visit whenever we come down to St David's - always a great welcome for every visitor whether to buy or to browse.

if you are about to visit the St Davids Cathedral, you can pop by this shop but, it's so tiny so, it would be 5-10 mins visit really.

The owner has had the shop for 50 years and was his father's before him. He is a treasure, has been mayor of St. Davids and many other titles. Oh, yes, you will find anything having to do with the city or Pembrokeshire. The place is tiny and crammed with pamphlets, guide books, literature. It's perfectly situated on the lane down to the Cathedral. Also, lovely postcards, and a great selection of Welsh music on CDs. Don't miss the boxes of books outside, in front. Some real treasures there as well.

Located close to the Cathedral, St David’s bookshop is a tiny book emporium with 2 floors full of pre owned and new books, maps, postcards and greetings cards. The prices are decent and the owner is helpful and friendly. Store can get crowded as there is only space for a few people. Managed to find some lovely vintage postcards at very low prices!

I can never resist browsing second hand books and this shop didn't fail me. I found a selection of lovely old cookery leaflets at the bargain price of just 10p each. If my family had not been already wandering off up the hill I would have spent much more time browsing and probably much more money buying. A great place to browse
