This guest house is the subject of the first Geograph Image The word twmpath, meaning a tump, mound or hummock, was applied to a place in a village where the community would gather to make music and make merry with singing and dancing, and the name is now applied to folk music sing-songs of that sort, the Welsh version of the ceilidh. See http://www.omniglot.com/blog/2007/11/14/twmpath/ (On the earliest OS map of the area the name is Twmpath y cwn/dogs' mound.)
