In the heart of Corsewall Estate, Stables Cottage is a small, but perfectly formed, holiday cottage by the sea in Dumfries and Galloway, with two bedrooms and a log burning stove – Sleeps 4

Stables Cottage, located on the first floor, has a spacious, modern open plan sitting room with kitchen and dining area with a traditional log burning stove as a focus for relaxing.

The cottage has a double bedroom with a traditional style cast iron king size bed over looking the old walled garden. There is a twin bedroom with ivory traditional style cast iron beds. The bathroom has a bath with an overhead chrome shower.

Stables Cottage is equipped with a bean to cup coffee machine, Smart TV, DVD player; Roberts Revival Bluetooth Radio and WiFi, a selection of board games and books. Stables Cottage is eco friendly with the power being generated from one of the Estate's two wind turbines and the heating and hot water provided by a biomass boiler. The cottage has its own private garden, with garden furniture and a barbecue. There is also a tennis court large trampoline, with a safety enclosure, a zipwire, a climbing frame and a Wendy house in the Estate gardens for children to use.

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, bin bags to washing powder and loo paper.

We've 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 don’t need to drive anywhere to walk – it’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 Stables Cottage guests can explore. A pretty walk down one of the drives will take you to Boat Bank, which is the nearest one to the cottage. Both Boat Bank and Lady Bay are wonderful spots if you like collecting shells or pebbles. Bird watching down on the shores of Loch Ryan or in the woods is second to none. Lady Bay is ideal for paddling, swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking.

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 on Corsewall Estate 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 £25 per dog per week/£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, Garden Cottage, about 50 metres from Stables Cottage, which sleeps 6 - so groups of up to 10 can easily be accommodated in both locations.

    Nicely situated, well equipped cottage on a lovely estate with lovely walks including a short stroll down to Loch Ryan. The hosts were very helpful and provided an excellent welcome pack which included delicious chocolate brownies. They also provided a good information pack on where to eat and where to visit.

    On a very peaceful country estate with access to the whole grounds, which included woodland and loch beaches. Very good paths and marked walks. Lots of wildlife and tranquility. We enjoyed an excellent week here, the Stables Cottage was well equipped and comfortable with tasteful decor. The owners were very welcoming and friendly.

    The accommodation was very well equipped, with everything needed, comfy bed , lovely estate and area for walks, owners very friendly Only downside was the village pub was shut for the week, but of course this was nothing to do with the let itself. Very nice relaxing holiday

    We spent two wonderful weeks at Corsewall Estate with our kids (8 and 11 yrs). Kate and Angus were extremely amiable hosts. The kids loved the Estate grounds with the trampoline and the playground with the zip line. It`s just a short walk to some very nice beaches (mostly rocky), too. Sandy beaches for bathing are also not really far, ~20 minutes by car. The surrounding has apparently not yet been discovered by a lot of tourists, which is somehow astounding given all the beaches and the nice things you can do and visit. Examples are some beautiful castle gardens (Glenwhan was our favorite but also Kennedy castle and Logan botanical gardens were nice), the ice cream factory of Cream o`Galloway and the highland coo farm Kitchen Coos and Ewes. We can definitely recommend to holiday at Corsewall!

    This was a lovely place to spend a week - the cottage is cosy and well-equipped, and the estate itself is wonderful - there are some great walks along the coast, with views of Arran on a clear day.

    I booked through home and away. The owner of the property kept in touch with us from booking to arrival.. they were welcoming hosts. It was a beautiful break in lovely grounds and walks. Will certainly go back.

    From the welcome pack to the friendly greeting and service our stay at the Stables cottage was perfect! The free use of the estates beautiful grounds was lovely. Our 6mth pup absolutely loved his freedom there and so did our kids. To top it off the cottage itself was clean and equipped with everything you could need. We had a wonderful time and would highly reccomend!

    From being met on arrival by Kate and Angus to having free range of the estate during our stay, The Stables is the perfect escape. Dumfries and Galloway is a hidden gem of a place and the Corsewall Estate is a real jewel in the crown for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. We're keen walkers and love to be outside in any weather. We enjoy wildlife spotting too. During our stay on the estate we saw a variety of wildlife including roe deer, herons and buzzards. Garden birds are aplenty including my personal favourite, the wren. The cottage is a great base to explore the surrounding area from Lady Bay and Corsewall Lighouse within a few miles, to short journeys down to the Mull of Galloway or across the Portpatrick. Galloway Forest Park is less than an hour away and boasts some of the darkest skies in the country. You won't believe how many stars are visible on a clear night. A short walk from the cottage and you're on the shores on Loch Ryan with more wildlife and a great stretch of pebbly beach to walk along. We'll be returning for sure.
