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!

Quiet and comfortable

Our stay was incredibly relaxing thanks to this warm and comfortable home. Everything was just as described. It was clean, inviting, and thoughtfully put together. The space had everything we needed for a peaceful stay, and we felt at ease from the moment we walked in. It was the perfect place to unwind, and we truly appreciated how comfortable and homey it felt. The host was responsive and we’d gladly stay here again!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Amazing views, lots of space

This is a very modern, well-equipped house with oodles of space - large bedrooms,a games room, with ping pong table, large kitchen with two dining areas, an open plan TV roomm and another lounge a the end of the house with amazong views, The owner Ged was quick to respond to messages re any problems. Set part way up a hill side overlooking the tidal Loch Long, the voew from the house every morning were wonderful and great to wake up to. We would certainly stay there again . Ged sent good directions with photos, but one further tip when finding it, particularly if arriving after dark, put 'Willow Weaving, Sallachy' into Google maps and directions as'Bunloyne' isn't on. Its a couple of hundred yards further up the lane but means you take the correct turning after drving down a single track road for three miles from the main road.
