4* House / Beautiful Sea Views / Woodland Walks / Dog Friendly

Forming the west wing of the 18th Century Corsewall House, Garden Cottage is a luxury 3-bedroom self-catering cottage on Corsewall Estate with wonderful sea views across Loch Ryan.

The living area downstairs is open plan with a stylish kitchen including a Belfast sink and large dining table. The spacious sitting room, furnished with arm chairs and sofas, is south facing and overlooks the extensive estate gardens, which in spring burst with colour from the Rhododendrons and Azaleas. There is twin/double bedroom with zip and link beds on the ground floor with an en suite bathroom. There is also a shower room & WC and a utility room. Upstairs, there is a twin and a double bedroom with a bathroom and en suite shower respectively.

All linen, white towels, extra thick, feather-filled duvets and pillows are provided. Heating and electricity are also included in the price.

Garden Cottage is equipped with a bean to cup coffee machine, Smart TV, DVD player; Roberts radio, Bluetooth speaker and WiFi, a selection of board games and books. It has its own private garden area including garden furniture, croquet set and a barbecue. Garden Cottage is eco friendly with the power being generated from one of the Estate's two wind turbines while the heating and hot water are provided by a biomass boiler.

We provide a welcome pack for guests on arrival including a jar of home-made Corsewall brownies, milk, bread, jam, butter, tea, coffee and fresh flowers from the garden (when in season). You'll find the cottage well equipped with the general basics too from washing up liquid and bin bags to washing powder and loo paper.

We've recently created a host of magnificent woodland paths and coastal walks around Corsewall Estate for guests to enjoy during their stay. There are lots different options for shortening the walks or lengthening them. Many guests comment that they love the new paths as they donā€™t need to drive anywhere to walk ā€“ itā€™s just a case of stepping outside and the walks are right on their doorstep.

Corsewall Estate has three pretty beaches on Loch Ryan - Boat Bank, Lady Bay and Port Beg - that Garden Cottage guests can explore. A pretty walk down one of the drives will take you to Boat Bank, which is the nearest one to Garden and Stables Cottage. Both Boat Bank and Lady Bay are wonderful spots if you like collecting shells or pebbles - oyster shells and mussels to cowries and scallop shells never fail to disappoint. Bird watching down on the shores of Loch Ryan or in the woods is second to none. Lady Bay is a pretty bay on the Estate which is ideal for paddling, swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking.

Garden Cottage has huge lawns in front of the house - so it's a great place for children to play football or for a game of croquet - croquet set supplied! There is a singles tennis court, large trampoline with safety net and a great climbing frame with a play house, slide, climbing wall and swings. There is also an indoor games room with table tennis and air hockey tables.

The cottage is located in over 20 acres of gardens and woodland. In late January and February, the woods feature charming drifts of snowdrops followed by daffodils and in April and May the hue turns to purple with acres of bluebells. There is colour in the gardens throughout the year starting with camellia from January to March, followed by a riot of colour in April and May as the rhododendrons and azaleas come into flower.

There is oodles of wildlife to spot ā€“ from roe deer and hares to barn owls, woodpeckers and most importantly, this area is one of the last bastions of the red squirrel.

The Blue Peter pub in the village of Kirkcolm is 10 minutes' walk away and does good pub grub.

Two dogs are very welcome at the cottage - there are lots of lovely walks for them around the estate and down to the shore. We charge Ā£25 per dog per week/Ā£20 per dog per short break and we ask that you let us know in advance to book them in.

We have a second cottage, Stables Cottage, about 50 metres from Garden Cottage, which sleeps 4 - so groups of up to 10 can easily be accommodated in both locations.

Beautiful Cottage and Location - Just Perfect!
Immaculate, large cottage with a luxury feel and everything you could need. We loved our stay. The Welcome Basket was a lovely extra touch. The grounds are amazing. You can walk for miles. We explored beaches every day with our dog. Stranraer is 10 minutes drive. Free EV charging close-by at Wig Bay.

Welcome Return
We so looked forward to returning to Garden Cottage, very well equipped and with a comforting, clean and classic feel in such beautiful surroundings. Great first holiday for the puppy. This year we could take full advantage of the attractions of the locality and wider Galloway. We shall return to the estate of Kate and Angus sometime again in the future.

Just what we wanted!
We wanted a break to relax, for long dog walks, to take in some beautiful scenery, and relax as a family in a homely cottage. This is exactly what we got at Corsewall, the estate had the walks and the scenery, and the cottage had everything we needed. The owners book even gave us all the directions just in case we needed it! Great place which will have great family memories and we are likely to return to in the future!

Family summer holiday
Well equipped cottage in a peaceful location. Easy access to local amenities. The owners were very friendly and encourage visitors to walk round the estate, which is stunning. We didn't manage to see any red squirrels, but that just means we will have to return one day šŸ˜

Wonderful Property
Stayed in Garden Cottage for 3 nights with my Husband, Mum, Dad and 2 Dogs. The Cottage is absolutely stunning with fantastic ammenities and some really lovely touches from the owners. The Estate has lovely walks and can take you down to the beach which was heavenly for our dogs. Kate and Angus the owners were so accommodating and couldn't have been more welcoming. Would most definitely recommend and looks forward to staying again here and at some of their other properties.

Peace and tranquility
Lovely renovated wing of large country house. Owners live in the rest of the house, and could not be more helpful, but not in the least intrusive. House is very spacious, tastefully decorated, and extremely comfortable. Large woodland grounds perfect for our dog to explore(pets are very welcome. Very nice touch of bread,jam, milk, tea etc, and superb chocolate brownies on our arrival), and even included some snacks for him which he woofed down We stayed in the middle of winter and loved it, but can imagine would be magical in summer, especially for kids. , with lots to do, including zip wires, trampolines, and camping in the woods if so desired. They will even provide all the equipment you need.The owners positively encourage you to explore and nowhere is off limits. Wildlife in abundance , saw lots of deer, rabbits, pheasant and awesome birds of prey. Owners have set up lots of bird boxes and feeding stations so a nature lovers delight. Beach and sea a 15 minute walk through the grounds. We would heartily recommend this to anyone, a true delight, and Angus and Kate, the owners, cannot do enough to make sure you enjoy your stay. Perfect country get away.

Garden cottage was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the beautiful estate with all the wildlife, and were made most welcome by the owners. We booked another holiday there during our stay, and are looking forward to our next visit at a different time of year.
