    Absolutely fantastic is how I would describe our experience at David's beautiful home on Arran,…read moreDarven Cottage. He was previously at Aros Beag down the road but has now moved here. Prior to our arrival, I had a plenty of communication with David via email. Being from the states, this was the easiest method for me and David was always very quick to respond and helpful with directions to the cottage, ferry times, and any other questions I had. Everything about the cottage and its setting is beautiful...you head up a small gravel drive and are greeted by a cozy little cottage hidden behind the trees. We were greeted by David and his 2 perfectly behaved, lovable labradors and he gave us a tour of the clean and homey bedrooms (with pillows and comforters to die for), huge windows with picturesque views of the ocean, cute little kitchen, and common/living room with the same cozy feeling and breathtaking views. David had us feeling at ease, and welcomed us to act as it was our home. When we arrived we had brought some wine and asked if we might have a couple glasses and a little cheese from the Arran Cheese Co before dinner. By the time we had brought our bags into our room, he had wine glasses set out with a cutting board of 3 cheeses and a variety of crackers-blown away by how accommodating he was. After dinner we stayed up with David and 2 of the other guests staying that night until about 12am drinking, talking, and having a fantastic time. Now...the food. I had emailed David before arriving asking if he might be able to make us dinner one of the nights-well it ended up being both nights and these were the best meals we had in our entire 11 day stay in Scotland. Cooking is a hobby of David's and you can tell because his love for it comes through in the food. 3 of the most delicious courses I've ever had for £17.50....you absolutely cannot beat that. His enormous Scottish breakfasts were equally as satisfying and delicious. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect B&B stay on our trip to Arran. This is hands down the best B&B I have ever stayed at and I'm already thinking about our trip back. When you put a beautiful cottage and fabulous hosts together, you absolutely cannot go wrong. Thank you David for making our stay on Arran the best 2 days of our trip!
