About this property

4* Coastal Estate Farmhouse Close to Pretty Beach. Wonderful Coastal Paths & Woodland Walks

High Clachan Farmhouse is a luxury holiday house for 8 by the sea on Corsewall Estate in Dumfries and Galloway with a log burning stove. A traditional Galloway farmhouse entirely surrounded by lush green fields, this wonderful 4-star holiday house is remarkably spacious and has far-reaching rolling country views.

On entering, the pretty farmhouse has a large breakfasting kitchen, with charming restored church pews forming seats around the dining table. Off the kitchen is a large conservatory, with another dining table and arm chairs, so guests can either choose to eat here, relax, play games or take in the views.

The sitting room is located to the left of the front door and has a log burning stove - which gives off a great heat and wood is provided free of charge. There is a large corner sofa, other various arm chairs and chairs, a television and DVD player.

The master bedroom, with a king size bed, is also located on the ground floor. It has an en suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Next door is a bedroom with a full sized bunk bed, which is ideal if you have children and want them close by at night.

Upstairs there are two further bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, which have zip and link beds so can either be made up as twin or double (super king) beds. Full of character, these bedrooms each have the original fireplaces. Both bedrooms have huge en suite bathrooms with Victorian style free standing baths for added luxury and separate showers. There is also an additional house bathroom upstairs, with a bath and overhead shower.

Downstairs, the house also has an utility room, with a washing machine, which is a great space for storing and hanging up outside clobber. There is also a separate WC.

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

High Clachan is equipped with WiFi, a DeLonghi coffee machine, a Smart TV, DVD player; a Roberts Bluetooth radio, a selection of board games and books. It has its own private garden with a croquet lawn including garden furniture and a barbecue.

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.

At the gardens of the main house (1000 metres from High Clachan) we have lots for children to do - a singles tennis court, a 60 metre zip wire, a 14 ft trampoline with safety net, a great wendy house with two floors and an amazing climbing frame, complete with swings, a back to back glider, look out house with binoculars, slide and climbing wall. There's also a campfire in the woods for toasting marshmallows. There's also a games room with table tennis and air hockey.

Two dogs are very welcome at the farmhouse - 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.
