The Banlicken Farmhouse on Arran was a great location for our family vacation. Off the beaten path, it offers amazing views, serenity, and the space for an entire family to spread out for quiet time. We’d encourage families looking for the complete Arran experience to consider Banlicken!

A farmhouse type experience without the animals. Secluded, great views, and lots to see on Arran. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay in a gorgeous country house. Very tucked away with a off road driveway (which was perfect for us).
Cosy rooms, great group kitchen and everything we needed.
The natural water supply up the hill from the house needs a little looking after but not a problem with the amazing sunny week we had in April.
Thoroughly recommend Banlicken Farmhouse.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Banlicken. The area and views are superb. It's such a beautiful spot, with an outstanding large garden and even a private source running through it. The house meant a very warm en comfortable place to us, we spent hours in the cosy kitchen. Thanks a lot, we're looking forward to come back!

Banlicken was perfect for our multigenerational family holiday. The external Byre and play barn enable everyone to do things at their own pace and the big kitchen/dining room means catering for a big party is easy.
The location is spectacular with incredible views and completely isolated from the "main" road. The access road isn't that tricky - perhaps only a sports car would struggle with the ford. In summary a great place to stay.

Our group of 9 adults had a great time at the property. Amazing kitchen space for cooking and socialising as a group. Loved the remoteness of the property as it meant we didn’t have to worry about disturbing anyone else. The grounds and views were stunning. I would definitely recommend this place to other friends and families.

Had a lovely week at Banlicken. It really is remote and the track up can be a little hairy in a full car but the views are wonderful and the house is spacious and well equipped with a very handy separate cottage /barn for a family. One bathroom in the main house can make it busy in the mornings and we didn't use the playbarn in the end. Would recommend a trip to the Lagg Distillery with a nice cafe and very friendly staff.

Beautiful position looking over the water. We had amazing weather all week which meant not much time spent in the house during the day. Cottage was great to give extra privacy. Real traditional farmhouse, only comment is an extra bathroom would be good oh and a trampoline would be perfect! Requested by my son. 4/4 is better for the track but no big deal. Saw a deer and red squirrels in the garden, seals on the beach, peacocks and pheasants too.

The property was beautiful, and in a fantastic position above the coast with complete privacy and amazing views. It was very easy to get around the island with lots of different activities available. Kayaking and wild swimming were particular highlights for us.

We had a lovely time at Banlicken. It has a peaceful, remote and special feel to it.
The accommodation adds to this and the rooms have a feeling of being lived in and special. The kitchen in particular is a great space for a group meal and we spent most evenings there. A lovely stay .

We had a great week at the property. Weather was up and down. We liked the secluded nature of the property. The drive up the track was always an adventure. Great size of kitchen and dinning area. Amazing views over to the west. We had a three year old with us and you have to be watching out, and following him around. As Jenny mentioned, the garden is on fairly uneven ground and you have to watch the smallest children around the burn .
We all enjoyed playing table tennis and the play barn area. We all felt the week went very fast and would love to return in the future .

We stayed at the property for 3 nights over a September weekend. My husband, daughter and I were visiting from the states with my sister and family who are from Edinburgh and booked the property for a long weekend. It was located in a gorgeous setting and the atmosphere was relaxing, magical and private. We made great memories and truly enjoyed the unique opportunity to see a more remote area of Scotland. The play barn was also wonderful for the kids.
