About this property

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!

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ged Elliott

Host profile image
This is our family home and the place for our eventual retirement. It has been carefully equipped with high quality fixtures and fittings and some personal touches. We currently live in London and look forward to the day when we leave all that behind and enjoy the space and seclusion of the Scottish Highlands.

Why they chose this property

The house was bought solely on the basis of the views! It wasn't really what we were looking for in terms of size but the location is just amazing. We do of course love the local area and hope that you do too.

What makes this property unique

The glen is a thriving community enjoying relatively easy access to shops and local facilities. Go the other way though and you enter one of the great wilderness areas left in Scotland. High snowy mountains, beautiful lochs and remote pathways to glorious waterfalls. Look up to the skies and spot both types of eagle; watch the otters playing in the loch and sometimes joined by a porpoise or two, or just gaze at the super bright Milky Way. It certainly isn't London!
