The cottage has lovely rural views overlooking extensive lawns, a tennis court and an old walled kitchen garden. The front door of this classic 'gingerbread box' luxury holiday cottage leads to an entrance hall off which is a large open plan sitting room to the left, to the right a double bedroom with king size bed and en-suite shower room.  Also off the entrance hall is the traditional staircase leading up to two further bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The kitchen and dining area is off the sitting room and the kitchen has its own entrance and vestibule from the private car parking area. Oil fired central heating and a log burning stove in the sitting room combined with huge amounts of insulation make this a very warm and cosy home. Home Farm Cottage has its own private patio garden area to the rear, a large log store and bike shed and a barbecue. To the front is a terrace with garden furniture, extensive lawns 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 almost throughout the year starting with camellia during January and into March – followed with a riot of colour in April and May from the rhododendrons and azaleas. 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. You’ll find masses of wildlife spotting opportunities on the walks from roe deer, red squirrels to hares and in the spring, if you listen out, the chances are you’ll hear a noisy woodpecker and the wonderful sound of a cuckoo echoing around the woods. Walk down to the shores of Loch Ryan and around Wig Bay and The Scar – a circular walk along Loch Ryan shoreline and back into the village of Kirkcolm. The Scar, a sandbank which juts out into Loch Ryan, is home to one of the largest colonies of nesting migrant terns in the region. From an historical perspective, during the Second World War, Wig Bay was used as a base for the flying Catalina boats – you'll see evidence of this on your walk and also throughout the woods at Corsewall Estate, which was requisitioned by the Royal Canadian Air Force during the War. We’ve got lots to keep children busy on Corsewall Estate. There's a tennis court just beside the cottage and the woods immediately beside the lawns close to Corsewall House (a few minutes' walk from Home Farm Cottage) are a dedicated children’s fun zone. There is a 60 foot zip wire, a climbing frame, which comes complete with a climbing wall, lookout house with binoculars , a slide, three swings, including one for toddlers and a terrific back to back glider. Additionally, kids can bounce to their heart’s content on the 14 foot trampoline on the edge of the lawns. There’s a camp fire area in the woods – perfect for toasting marshmallows. For smaller children, we have wendy house with a toy cooker and lots of picnic/cooking paraphernalia and a pretty veranda. There is also a games room with table tennis and air hockey. The cottage is equipped with a bean to cup coffee machine, a Smart television, Freeview Box, Roberts revival bluetooth radio and speaker,  WiFi, a selection of board games and books. The beds come with super thick, feather-filled duvets, all bed linen and large towels. It also has a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, hob and electric oven. 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. A cot and high chair are available on request. 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.

Great hosts and fantastic decor. So much space to explore around the estate and hidden beaches. ##### Chloe W. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen L. 13 Mar 2019 #### Peace and Tranquility We needed to find an escape from the everyday pressures of work and found peace and tranquility in abundance at Home Farm Cottage. The directions to the cottage were easy to follow and when we arrived we found that the cottage exceeded our expectations. It was clean, immaculately decorated and larger than expected. There are plenty of local places to eat but the kitchen is very well equipped and sometimes it’s nice just to take the time to prepare a meal together. Kate and Angus are lovely hosts and encourage you to explore the estate grounds, which has an abundance of wildlife including deer and red squirrels. The sun doesn’t always shine but its a good stress buster to wrap up, put on your wellies and explore the outdoors. We would recommend the walks beside the coastline. On an evening please take the opportunity to be amazed and observe the stars as Home Farm cottage is in a dark sky’s area. We would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to spend quality time with the people they love. ##### Karen L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah E. 24 Feb 2019 #### Idilic holiday in the perfect location. Well what can I say....... This place was beautiful, set in it's own country estate with a zip wire, trampoline and Wendy House which is open for guests to use, as well as access to the whole estate to roam free and explore in the woods. We went for a late afternoon stroll around the estate and seen 2 deer, not something you get to see very often. The cottage itself was so clean, and decorated to a very high standard with some basics ready for you on arrival, such as toilet roll, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, bread, homemade brownie and some special treats for my 4 legged friends. As for the beds, best nights sleep I've had in a long time with very luxurious bedding. Kate and Angus made me aware that they wouldn't be there to greet me on the Friday but left a letter with a very welcoming message and everything I needed to know on it, followed by a phone call to welcome our arrival. The local area is also beautiful and the locals are very friendly in the pub just a 5 minute stroll away. This is the perfect holiday if you want time to relax and explore the coast and the pretty lighthouses dotted along the coast. We will definitely be revisiting soon, hopefully my other half has got the hint that I'd like to go back for my 30th!!!!! ##### Hannah E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda J. 27 Oct 2018 #### A fairy-tale cottage We had booked a return visit before we left! The gingerbread cottage nestles in a beautiful secluded part of a stunning estate. It’s very well appointed and cosy, with a beautiful woodland view. There is plenty to visit in the area and good restaurants. The hosts are friendly and helpful. We loved our visit. ##### Amanda J. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
