This fabulous property, situated just 3.5 miles from the centre of Newtown, is perfect for you and your guests. Sleeping six across three peaceful bedrooms and with space for up to three dogs, this holiday home is perfect for those that want a true family holiday where no one is left behind. Meet pygmy goats, alpacas, ponies and more right on site, or simply enjoy summer evenings on your private deck looking out over the trout fishing pond.

Hang up coats and store boots in the spacious hall of this beautiful barn; you’ll find a separate WC off here. At the end of the hall, you’re greeted by a bright and airy open-plan living area. Exposed beams, wooden doors and rustic furniture make it the perfect place to snuggle up in front of the TV after a long day out exploring. A couple of steps down take you to the kitchen and dining area where you’ll find everything you need to whip up delicious meals to eat at the table looking out through the French doors to the pond and gardens. When it’s time for bed, choose from the three bedrooms, all of which have tranquil, neutral decor mixed with pretty accent colours. A king-size zip-and-link can be made up as 2’6” twin beds on request, while a double room has an en-suite shower room. There’s a further double bedroom and a stylish bathroom with a shower over the bath.

When you’ve explored the 30 acres of land around you, head off to Powis Castle and Garden (14 miles) where you can picnic, have a stroll and learn about the history of the castle. The Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway (9 miles) is always a hit, as is the Glyndwr’s Way national walking trail that passes through Welshpool (14 miles).

Highgate is a fantastic location in a beautiful part of Wales. Just a few minutes drive from the shops and train station at Newtown, but right in the country. I loved listening to and watching the birds in the garden, and saying hello to the alpacas. Great place from which to visit Powys Castle and Gregynog. We can also recommend the Bull and HeifeRead morer pub in Bettws Cedewain. We would definitely book this property again. Hide
