Location

The Minffordd Hotel sits within the scenic Tal-y-llyn Valley, just steps from the Minffordd Path, which leads to Cader Idris Mountain. Only a 5-minute drive away is Talyllyn Lake, a natural glacial ribbon lake popular for walking and fishing activities. The hotel is conveniently located approximately 8 miles from Dolgellau and 12 miles from Tywyn.

Dining

Dining options include a traditional restaurant where Chef Darren serves freshly prepared meals using local Welsh ingredients. The menu features hearty dishes such as braised beef in red wine and pan-fried seabass, ensuring ample choice after outdoor activities. Guests can also relax with a drink or homemade cake in the cozy bar area, stocked with local ales and a variety of whiskies.

Accommodations

The hotel offers seven en-suite bedrooms, each individually styled within the historical charm of a structure that is over 450 years old. Rooms include a mix of double, twin, and single options, delivering unique views and comforts. Notably, televisions are intentionally absent, allowing guests to enjoy the stunning surroundings instead.

Lounge Areas

Guests have access to two distinct lounge areas, providing cozy spaces for relaxation throughout the day. The summer lounge features light decor and a small library, while the Welsh lounge is adorned with traditional rugs and a log fire during colder months. Both lounges serve as additional seating areas during busy times in the bar.

Entertainment

A unique aspect of the Minffordd Hotel is its proximity to the Mach Loop, where visitors can witness low-flying jets on training exercises nearly every day. This location presents opportunities for aviation enthusiasts and photography. The surrounding natural beauty and rich history make the hotel an attractive hub for outdoor adventures.
