Highgate Barnhouse

Charming holiday escape for a big group getaway with stylish interiors, garden, and enclosed paddock set within a country estate. Explore the grounds and meet the animals, including pygmy goats, alpacas, ponies, pigs, and sheep. The property sits in the rolling countryside of the Mid Wales Marches in Bettws Cedewain, with a local pub within 100 metres. It’s just 3 miles from Newtown with its contemporary gallery, cinema, and a plethora of shops and eateries. Walk along Montgomery Canal or pop to Welshpool with an array of shops, restaurants, Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, the canal, and museum (17 miles). Visit National Trust’s Powys Castle and Gardens, walk or cycle around Lake Vyrnwy and visit the bird hide, all within 25 miles of the property – there’s so much to see and do.

Enter this imposing retreat into the welcoming hall with plenty of space for your outdoor attire. The welcoming space leads off to the guest bedrooms, which are all ground level. Choose from five bedrooms offering accommodation for 20 guests; all of the bedrooms are the ideal configuration for group bookings, each offering two super-king-size zip-and-link beds (which can be made into twins on request). One of these has an en-suite bathroom and the four others have an en-suite shower room each. There is so much space for everyone to truly relax and unwind at this super-sized property. There is a ground-floor shower room here alongside the useful ground-floor utility room. Heading upstairs, get ready for the breathtaking views from all windows and the spectacular balcony, there is a kitchen/diner flooded with natural light with all the equipment you need for group catering. Once the meal is ready, everyone can gather around the long refectory table with benches. After dinner, head over to the enormous lounge with sofas, Freesat TV, board games, and table football to keep all entertained. Open the feature doors onto the Juliet balcony and let the outside in on lovely warm evenings. This holiday let has the benefit of an electric lift.

Stepping outside, you will find a wrap-around patio with ample garden furniture to enjoy the beautiful grounds, a charcoal BBQ for the warmer months, a generous lawn, and an enclosed paddock.
