House was great for family holiday with lots of space and spectacular views. Good location for visiting Skye and surrounding areas. Kids loved the table tennis. Well equipped in some aspects but kitchen could have done with a bit of a deep clean.

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.

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.

Wonderful family trip
Our family spent three weeks at Bunloyne in July and August. The house is beautifully designed, spacious, well-appointed, and in an extraordinary location. Looking over Loch Long was a special treat, no matter the weather. Ged was a perfect host. He responded to questions quickly and helpfully, and he gave us great advice about local restaurants. Five stars all around! Don N

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 views but a little remote
We had a wonderful stay with family and friends and got to experience the Lochcarron Highland Games. This place was spacious and we had room to spread out and enjoy magnificent views. It was pretty remote so be prepared for a ten to fifteen drive to any pub or market. There were some plumbing issues but as there were six bathrooms, we were fine. It was well stocked with anything you could need and we appreciated getting to cook meals at home rather that eating out constantly. The small washer and dryer were helpful but if you’re from the states, be ready for each load to take 4-6 hours from start to finish. Would definitely recommend this for large groups who need a getaway from the city.

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!

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.

Excellent stay with captivating views
Excellent stay, as an enjoyable experience all round. Amazing views, a fabulous location in the Highlands, a well-appointed house with some beautiful aspects and tasteful furnishing. Very spacious, which is a great benefit for a large group. Only thing lacking was a stove or open fire, which may be for good reason. We generally like the focal point of this, though the house was very warm and clearly well-insulated. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Nine of us including three kids and a grandmother loved the property. Beautiful house, well equipped with space (and peace) for everyone. Cooking was a pleasure in the kitchen, everything you need is there. The boot room was very handy and had ample room to keep everyone's kit. Location is stunning, views wherever you are in the house and there are easy walks from the front door. We couldn't have asked for more.
