Recent history

In 1970 the hotel was leased to Roy Lewis and his wife who continued to run it as a temperance hotel on a more modest scale. It was sold in 1986 by the then owners, Elizabeth Beer and David Nash, of the Evans family, to Andrew Middleton. Andrew Middleton convened and ran the property for 23 years as an Eco-Lodge and an Outdoor Pursuits Centre. It became an important surfers' centre at which international championships were based and it was also at Twr y Felin, that the intensely exciting sport of "coasteering" was first introduced

In 2009 Keith Griffiths identified the property as a worthy addition to the Griffiths Roch Foundation and purchased it from Andrew Middleton. After five years of planning, designing and construction, Twr y Felin opened in December 2015 as a contemporary art hotel, featuring over 100 original art works commissioned to represent the St David's peninsula and Pembrokeshire by twelve international artists. Offering luxury accommodation and fine dining, the hotel includes 19 ensuite bedrooms and two suites, restaurant Bias, pre-dinner at lover's snug, Cornel bar and an inspired lounge, Oriel. Set in its own private grounds Twr y Felin Hotel is close to world renowned beaches, just a ten-minute walk to Caerfai Bay and the historic St Davids Cathedral and is located opposite Oriel y Parc National Park Visitor Centre and National Museum Wales Gallery.
