Beautiful hideaway
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.

Wonderful time at Banlicken
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!

Great farmhouse in picturesque location.
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.
