Cottage living room

Highgate lies close to the River Severn. The area is rich in stunning landscape and is in one of the most beautiful parts of Wales. The cottages are traditionally furnished providing superior accommodation. Two have a private terrace which overlooks a large trout pool with lovely lawns, trees and surrounding farmland. Highgate is an ideal base for visiting Offa's Dyke, Powis Castle, for walking, bird watching and touring the lakes and mountains. But do not be deceived by the tranquillity, there is plenty going on here, including shooting, pony trekking, fishing, walking, narrow gauge railways, riding, canoeing, sailing and mountain biking. Newtown, 3 miles, is most attractive, with its street market on Tuesdays, here there is a swimming pool, sports centre, theatre, fishing and golf. Among the other small market towns nearby are Welshpool, Montgomery and LLanidloes with their castles, gardens, galleries and shops. A mile over the hill lies the New Inn, for a drink and a chat.
