This beautiful property can be found in a secluded hamlet just 4 miles along the rugged coast from Blackwaterfoot, and within easy reach of the island's varying tourist attractions. Head to Blackwaterfoot to enjoy golden sands or visit the popular Shiskine golf and tennis club. The relatively small island leaves plenty of attractions within close proximity. Head 18 miles to the bottom of the Goat Fell mountain or visit Brodick Castle for extensive gardens to peruse. For those who prefer to explore on horseback, stables just past Blackwaterfoot offer hacking and trekking for all ages.

Enter the property and head straight up to the first floor to settle in. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner run the length of the property, sitting in the eaves under a vaulted ceiling. To one side you have a spacious lounge with plenty of seating options and a large TV to enjoy. To the centre of the room, you'll find a circular dining table and a makeshift bar. The kitchen is a spacious area with fridge, freezer, electric hob and oven, washing machine and the added luxury of a dishwasher. Stairs from the living area lead back down to the first floor where you'll find three bedrooms. A snug twin bedroom is a nice spot for two friends to share, whilst two double bedrooms offer a little bit more space to unwind. One of these double bedrooms benefits from an en-suite with WC and shower, and a shared family bathroom with WC and shower over bath can also be found down here.

Plenty of outdoor space surrounds this pretty property, including a gravelled terrace and grassy space. Make use of the outdoor dining set for late-night cocktails on the lawn or plan a picnic. You can also park on the gravelled outdoor space.

Lovely cottage withe great views. Nice area outside to enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon beer. Location is a bit remote but we loved that aspect and restaurants and hotels within short drive. 2 fridges are great and kitchen has everything you need Would highly recommend.

We have just had a wonderful weeks stay at Davarr Barn, the property is very clean and the kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable with lovely white bed linen, the towels were nice and fluffy too. We particularly enjoyed sitting and relaxing with a glass of wine on the patio at the end of the day, taking in the views and being Read moreentertained by the lambs in the field next door. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to return in the not to distant future. Hide

We were very comfortable in Davaar Barn for our week on Arran although the adults in our party are more used to king sized beds rather than the doubles. The kitchen was well equipped for the self catering that we did. The views from the upstairs living area were spectacular and our neighbours, the sheep, were very cute. It was a good base from whicRead moreh to visit the whole of the island and happily, for two of our party, a walk away from Lagg Distillery. We had a fabulous time and would recommend. Hide

Davaar Barn is a great holiday house for families. The location is quiet with beautiful views. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to self cater. The living area and bedrooms were also very comfortable. The bed linen and towels were lovely too!
