Large newly built luxury property with superb views of Kintail, close to Skye

Scottish short term rental licence number
HI-10417-F

The house is recently built and extremely well appointed. It faces south onto the delightfully secluded Loch Long. There is plenty of opportunity for walking, sailing, fishing, kayaking and other outdoor activities directly from the front door and in the immediate area. For greater variety the isle of Skye is only 30 minutes away by car.
The property is large (380m2) and comprises a master bedroom suite, two further double bedrooms and a twin bedroom (on the ground floor) all with luxurious en-suite facilities, as well as a double and a twin room sharing a large bathroom. There is a spacious and well equipped kitchen/diner, a separate dining/sitting room with seating for 12 people, a large sitting room and a huge games room with seating and a table tennis table. For outdoor enthusiasts there is a boot room to store your equipment and a separate drying room. Most bedrooms and the main living areas benefit from the amazing views.
Outside there is a huge south facing patio area with tables and seating for 12 which enjoys extensive loch and mountain views in all directions. The hillside garden contains additional secluded seating areas and extends to approximately 3 acres. At the side and back of the house there is ample parking space.

All the usual facilities are contained within the house, including dishwasher, washing machine, TV, DVD player and DVDs, WiFi, books, games etc.

All photos are of the house or taken directly from the house....and I didn't have to stand on tip toes and stick my arms up in the air to get them!

Absolutely amazing property!

Our stay at Bunloyne could not have been better. The house with its extraordinary ever-changing views was perfect for our family with plenty of wonderful space for togetherness and for quiet times too. We were perfectly situated for day trips to explore Northern Scotland. Additionally,Ged is a great host, so helpful from booking til checkout.

Convenient home base for hiking the Highlands

Bunloyne was the ideal house for our group of 7 hiking friends to explore the area in the northwest part of Scotland. It had great shared spaces, large kitchen for food preparation and enough bathrooms for everyone! The views from the house are sublime. The house is very close to the Eilean Donan castle, and is very convenient to Skye. We also took road trips to Inverness and Ben Nevis/Fort William but be aware that driving in Scotland takes longer than you might think. Gerard was responsive and a good host.

Nice stay

Overall, the stay was great! The house was big and the host provided a lot of extra niceties. The only problem we had was inconsistent internet and wifi, but that is to be expected with a rural property. We also found the front door difficult to lock, although as Americans, we may have just not understood how the lock worked.

The property was very nice and the house was in good shape once we got there. Getting there was a little difficult as the area is very remote but we made it. The location is very close to the entrance to the Isle of Skye making it ideal.

Family of 9 loved our stay!

We are a family of 9 ( 3 children ages 2, 7, 14)and 6 adults. This beautiful home fit our needs perfectly! The kitchen was generously stocked with plates, glasses, cutlery, pots and pans to accommodate our cooking. We noted how clean, new and luxurious our bed linens were in the house, and we all slept well in our bedrooms. The view from the house of Loch Long is outstanding and we would definitely visit again! Our stay was exceptional, and enjoyed by all in our family group!

Beautiful house, wonderful location

The house and host were great - easy to communicate with, well situated in beautiful environment and well appointed inside. He the Vrbo site was difficult to use and a mix up meant that the code to get the key was incorrect leaving some of our family outside the house for an hour whilst trying to get help.

Huge spacious house with incredible views

What a terrific house! I would say that the photos don’t do the place justice - the rooms are all huge and there is space for even a family of 9 like ourselves to find some quiet space. Everything was very clean on arrival and easy to keep tidy. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to cook some big meals. We had some stunning weather when we were there and the views from the kitchen and the main bedroom were very impressive. Recommended!

Magical location

Three generations - nine people. Plenty of space. Large rooms. Many amenities. Spectacular views. Private, but not isolated. Saw a double rainbow that had us oohing and ahhing with delight. Visited Kyleakin, Portree, Uig on Skye and back to Kyle of Lochalsh, Inverness, Plockton, Dornie. Dined out, and loved coming back to Bunloyne for the night. All in all a memorable, delightful experience for my 80th birthday!

Days in the lovely Scottish Highlands

Bunloyne is simply lovely! Nestled in the mountains with its views of Loch Long, we could not have envisioned a more perfect spot to gather with friends to savor the peace and beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The spaciousness and comfort of the house coupled with a spectacular view from each window was wonderful and prompted us to appreciate what was nearby without the need to travel far. Our hikes from the house were our favorites with their amazing views, sheep, and highland cattle. We loved hearing the stories of those who lived nearby and, meeting their well-trained and beloved dogs! Hiking on the nearby Isle of Skye and hearing the music of Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain during an evening in Portree was delightful. And on our visits to Plockton, we imagined an encounter with Hamish Macbeth. We frequently Manuelas' Wee Bakery and enjoyed the laughter and warmth of a Durney pub. Thank you, Gerard for sharing your lovely home. And to the many gracious folks who call the Scottish High lands their home, be well. We'll hope to visit once again.

Absolutely beautiful home with picture-postcard views - perfect for family get togethers

We LOVE this house. The pictures don’t do the house or the gorgeous views justice. It’s absolutely huge, but also lovely and warm. It’s great for kids of all ages, we had kids aged 1, 4, 10 and 14 and all of them loved it for the board games, table tennis, the space to run around in - are so many rooms that you can lose your children in it! It has lots of practical features too, like a very well kitted-out kitchen, washing machine (I have messy children), boot room for wet/muddy clothes and a warm room to dry them in. We didn’t spend much time in the garden but that was more suited to older children who can be trusted not to fall down the quite steep in places, drops. It’s also in a great location with loads to do and see nearby. We spent a lot of time on Skye which is only 30 mins away and it wasn’t far to go to Loch Ness either (only 1.5hrs). The only thing that could’ve been added to the house to make it better was a high chair. Otherwise, totally perfect for an autumnal get away. Thanks for a great stay!

Ruined by a terrible host.

My review is not on the quality of the stay (which is ok... very dated in parts, complicated appliances, poorly functioning dryer, LONG drive in from town and hard to find with navigation), but rather on the host. We checked out on a Friday and left the place as it was when we checked in. There were no issues with the property, and our communication with the host was minimal (except when he tried to pressure us into allowing a multiple-hour electrical inspection during our stay, which we declined). On Saturday, the host messaged us accusing us of breaking a bed, without providing photos. No beds were broken. Unless he is talking about a bed slat, which several beds had missing ones? The beds were fine during out stay. Considering the place was booked the night we left, assuming if there actually is any damage it was caused by the next guest. We have been traveling since we left, and I don't check my email on the weekends. I arrive home after 24 hours of travel on Monday to find him "politely" letting me know he would be charging me a damage fee of $305. Still no photos. He claimed I had not responded. I responded minutes later asking questions, but no response from him until this evening when he claims to have sent photos to Vrbo (since I raised a dispute with them). Go elsewhere, unless you want to be accused of things you didn't do, billed hundreds of dollars extra, and then not sent any evidence.
