About this property

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

Located on the historic Corsewall Estate, High Clachan Farmhouse has recently been fully restored and renovated. This luxury, 4-star, self catering house comfortably accommodates eight people. All the bedrooms and public rooms at High Clachan have charming rural 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 and under floor heating. 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, fluffy 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, books and classic films. 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 incredibly edible, 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 roll.

Over the past year we’ve been busy in our little corner of South West Scotland creating 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 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 for spotting baddies), slide and climbing wall. There's also a campfire in the woods for toasting marshmallows.

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.

Amazing weekend at High Clachan
Our stay at High Clachan couldnt have been any better and totally met all expectations! The house is stunning, loads of room for all the family and fully equipped. Beautiful views, paths and gardens with the added bonus of a play area near by with trampoline and zipline. Hosts couldnt have been more welcoming or friendly if they tried! Definitely on our list to visit again and would highly recommend! Its worth it for the homemade brownies alone!

Wonderful Holiday
We loved our stay at High Clachen. The House was beautifully decorated, with lots of space and light. It catered for all our needs as two families. The boot room was a godsend for drying off wet children and dogs from all the wonderful walks we had on the estate. The gardens were safe for the children and dog to play out and when we finally got them all to bed. There was plenty of room in the lounge to light the log fire, open a bottle of wine of chill out on the comfy sofa's. The little girls loved the bunk beds and the almost teen loved having a big room to himself and was impressed by the excellent wifi!! We will be back again when its a bit warmer for the paddleboards.

Scottish delight
This property really lived up to our expectations it was first class. Both Kate and Angus were available if we needed them and were there to welcome us. This house has all you could want for a lovely holiday. The kitchen is big and well equipped and the bedrooms are very spacious with lovely comfortable beds. What can I say about the en-suite bathrooms they are large and the roll top baths just call out to be used. Finally at the end of a cold day in February have been out walking what is better than lighting the wood burner and settling down. This was our first time in Scotland and formed part of a 60th birthday celebration, we weren’t disappointed. We managed a lot of walks around the estate despite arriving at the same time as storm Dennis and the beaches were just beautiful. We loved our night time trip to view the stars in the forest , but be warned it isn’t for the feint hearted as the road was narrow and it is very very dark, we did take torches and used them. The view though is more than worth it. Finally as we were in Scotland we thought it only right to take in both the Gin and Whiskey distilleries.

Gorgeous property
Gorgeous property where we got together as a family. Lovely spaces where we could be all together or have our own space. Everything there you need on a holiday. A lovely welcome pack, on arrival. Set in a scenic area of the North Rhins. Would certainly consider returning ourselves, as well as recommending to others.

Lovely warm house with a really welcoming feel to it.
My family and I had a three night stay at High Clachan and everyone found plenty to do in the local area. My old dog Sam has come home and thinks he is a pup again, wants to be out all the time.Lovely place to stay, bit of a long drivefrom Newcastle for a weekend but we would come back again.
