Built in 1886, Minafon is a grand stone house in an elevated position in the village of Bontddu ( 'Black Bridge') 5 miles from the Seaside town of Barmouth and just over 4 miles from the Historic town of Dolgellau.

To the rear, there is a large terraced garden (merging into woodland beyond) with furnished areas for relaxing and al fresco dining, making it a great place for family get-togethers. To the front, a smaller garden is bounded by a stone wall on the other side of which flows the Afon Cwm Llechen shortly before it joins the Afon Mawddach.
