The Experience

Warmed by the Gulf Stream, lapped by the waters of Loch Ryan, this 1,400 acre estate is yours to share. Innumerable native and exotic trees flourish, deer cross the lawns, red squirrels, hedgehogs and hares drop by, and the self-catering cottages, down a private drive, ooze style and polish. The first lies in a two-storey wing of the rambling Georgian house, with gorgeous garden views; the second is above the old stables. Super-inviting under sloping ceilings, it has a cosy wood-burner and its own garden. Both are immaculate, with painted wrought-iron beds, new carpets, gleaming floors and a scattering of prints by Scottish artists. Kitchens have all you need, there’s a farm shop nearby and the nearest restaurant is seven miles. Owners Kate and Angus, the nicest pair, leave you welcome goodies, flowers, board games and DVDs; best of all, they are happy for young guests to share their children’s play house and trampoline. If you bring a big crowd there’s High Clachan, a handsome farmhouse for 8, just down the road. Come for gardens by the hatful, vast sands at Luce, the old harbour of Portpatrick (and its great pubs!). Or catch the ferry to Belfast.

Reviews

Garden Cottage at Corsewall Estate was the perfect place to unwind in the peaceful surroundings. The cottage was so comfortable and extremely well equipped, everything had been thought of. We loved having lots of wonderful walks right on the doorstep, literally. Surrounding towns and places of interest well worth a visit and not too far to travel.

Joyce, Wemyss Bay

Home Farm is an absolutely lovely cottage on a peaceful estate. It has all the kitchen equipment you need, excellent furnishings and a smashing woof burning stove. We loved it and the peace and quiet of the whole area.

Carol, Oldham

Our stay at Garden Cottage on Corsewall Estate, was a wonderful experience. It was large, roomy, immaculately clean, the interior decor was very special. The house is set in beautiful well kept gardens, with many walks within this country estate, and even has its own two little sandy bays. The weather made our stay even more enjoyable in what was the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at, complemented by a wonderful welcome pack.

Barrie, Knaresborough, N.Yorks

Lovely accomodation, charming and helpful hosts, beautiful Scotland! Highly recommended.

Elin, Aberystwyth

Stables cottage was a wonderful base to explore this beautiful, peaceful part of Scotland. There are so many lovely walks around Corsewall estate and in the area in general. Highly recommended.

Rebecca, Bristol

Our second fabulous stay at Corsewall, this place is very unique and Kate and Angus have made everything so lovely. From the second we drove through the gate we felt at home, we love the area, the cottage, the wildlife and our particular favourite Lady Bay. Kate and Angus are also so friendly and welcoming everything is PERFECT!

Sally and Chris, Farnsfield, Notts

Stables cottage was well appointed and very comfortable set in beautiful grounds and an extensive ( with excellent paths) estate all of which you are welcome to explore. Kate and Angus are lovely welcoming and very organised hosts. Corsewall is an excellent base for exploring this beautiful and perhaps overlooked part of Scotland!

Sarah, Edinburgh

High Clachan Farmhouse was an absolute treat for our 10 day family stay. Extra tableware and mattresses were provided at our request and our hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone and hope to stay again!

Katy, Aberdeen

We had a wonderful stay at Garden Cottage on Corsewall Estate. The generously proportioned property is beautifully situated and was equipped with everything one might need for a stay. Kate, the owner, was on hand to answer any questions we had. We used the Cottage as a base to explore Scotland and it was a welcome retreat at the end of our busy days. I would happily recommend a stay here.

Claire, Dublin

So glad we stayed at Stables Cottage at Corsewall. Kate & Angus are so welcoming & have thought of everything-the coffee machine was fantastic & the cottage was comfortable & tastefully decorated. I absolutely loved waking up to birdsong coming from the woodland which we happily explored every day. Corsewall has it all: You can walk to a beautiful, secluded beach, through the extensive gardens, woodlands & into the village. The trampoline, swing & slide were great. Perfect base to explore but could have happily spent all our time on the estate. Thank you Kate & Angus for a wonderful holiday.

Bethan, Rossendale

We stayed in Stables Cottage on the Corsewall Estate for a week. It was a very comfortable cottage with beautiful walks from the door. The Estate has many paths which you can explore, very lovely especially with all the bluebells in flower. We were made to feel very welcome and we enjoyed a very relaxing week and visited several gardens in the area. A special place to stay!

Irene, Kendal

As soon as we saw the pictures of Corsewall cottages we knew this was of a standard we were looking for. Never having stayed in this area we were a little unsure of what the area offered, we were not disappointed. We stayed in Garden Cottage, an annex of the main house and it was brilliant. We could wander freely in the well maintained grounds searching out those ellusive red Squirrels, not spotted till the last day. So much to see in the area, from relaxing at the small beaches, wandering the grounds to sightseeing further afield. Super luxurious stay, lovely hosts. Definitely recommend.

Philip, Retford

Just back from a fabulous stay at Garden Cottage on Corsewall Estate. The house has everything you could need and more and is spotless. The views from the cottage are stunning. Kate and Angus are the most welcoming hosts, we were made feel relaxed and at home. The grounds on the estate have mature trees and shrubs, constantly evolving with the seasons, there is always something to see. Wildlife is in abundance, deer, red squirrel and woodpeckers to name but a few. We had the best time relaxing and walking, enjoying the scenery and the tranquil setting that is Corsewall. Can't wait to go back.

Carol, Hamilton

Stayed for a 3-night break. Cottage very homely with all necessary facilities, estate beautiful to walk through, with marked routes aplenty. All-in-all a very beautiful and peaceful place to relax. Would recommend, and that is praise from a well-travelled, hard-to-please individual !

Nicole, Stirling

We recently spent a few days at High Clachan Farmhouse.The house was very well equipped and lovely and warm! Everyone had a relaxing time and thoroughly enjoyed all the walks on the estate and the wider area.

June, Glasgow

Had a wonderful 5 days at Garden Cottage on the Corsewall Estate. The cottage (attached to the main house) is beautiful with 3 comfortable bedrooms each with its own ensuite. We did some wonderful walks straight from the door. Some walks take in woodland and other are along the water's edge. We celebrated a birthday while we were there and all three generations agreed it was one of the most relaxing breaks we have been on. Highly recommended.

Catherine, Liss

Home Farm is a beautiful, comfortable, well equipped cottage on a peaceful, stunning, well cared for Estate. The trees are wonderful and we enjoyed the walks from the door through the lovely woods down to the bay. The owners are amazing; so friendly and helpful. A new area of the country for us and we will be back.

Esther, Cambridge

A very spacious and well provided for farmhouse in an idyllic location. Welcoming and responsive hosts, who have thoughfully curated information on walks, activities and places to eat. The whole family had a great time at High Clachan. The Corsewall estate is a great location to unwind, relax and explore.

Matt, Manchester

We had a wonderful week at High Clachan Farmhouse. The house is very spacious, warm and comfortable, everything has been thought of and it is extremely well equipped. The bathrooms are huge! Angus and Kate are consummate hosts, no expense has been spared on the quality of bedding, towels etc. The Estate has very good walks from the door and it's an easy 10 minute drive to Stranraer for any shopping. There are also many gardens, beaches and sights to visit within easy driving distance. We'll definitely be making a return visit sometime in the future.

Moira, Edinburgh

We booked Highclachan Farmhouse for a short stay at the end of September for my daughter's 30th birthday. The property is well located near Loch Ryan & the village of Kirkcolm near Stranraer. The property itself is beautifully furnished with each bedroom having a lovely big bathroom with giant tubs for bathing. Great for a good hot soak after a long walk. The house was very comfortable & warm. The large kitchen has a big dining table ideal for long leisurely dinners and lunches. Would thoroughly recommend. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Local points of interest from Kate Carrick-Buchanan

  • Red squirrels are us! We have four feeders dotted about the estate and you can watch the bushy tailed creatures feeding and getting up to their tricks - it's highly entertaining viewing! Other wildlife on the estate includes roe deer, hares and otters.
  • We have a network of magnificent woodland paths and coastal walks on the Estate. There are lots of different options for shorter or longer walks and no need to drive anywhere they are on the doorstep. The wildflowers and the sea views are wonderful.
  • The Estate has three lovely beaches so grab a swimming costume/wet suit/paddle board/kayak or a bucket and spade and go!
  • There are lots of gardens to visit in the area including Glenwhan and Castle Kennedy. The jewel in the crown is Logan Botanical Gardens - which has a wonderful array of exotic plants and a tip top cafe to boot too
  • For the great outdoors, head to the Galloway Forest Park and enjoy stunning walks or mountain biking in the hills.
  • With some of the clearest night time skies in the country, you could book a star gazing evening on the Estate with our friendly Dark Skies Park Ranger.
