Dolwar Fach was the home of the Welsh hymnologist Ann Griffiths (1776-1805). This successor house remains a place of pilgrimage for Welsh Methodists, including many from U.S.A.; the parlour is devoted to memorabilia of Ann Griffiths.
The house of Ann Griffiths' time stood a few metres away from the position of the present house. The present house is a 19th century stone farmhouse of two-storeys and of symmetrical design with a stone front porch. The masonry is in axe-dressed informally coursed local stone. There is a slate roof with stone end-chimneys. The lower windows at front have stone arches.
