The location was fabulous and the house well suited for a large family gathering. However the outside of the house was not well kept and the flower pots and containers had just weeds - looks like nobody bothered with them this year; the worse feature was the musty smell that would not go away - no matter how many windows were opened - and the state of the bedroom on main floor which had suffered from a very large leak from an upstairs bathroom. Almost the entire ceiling was still very stained. The sink in the bathroom above had tape across it as if to suggest noone was to use it. The owner said that it was ok to use that sink and greatly down played the stained ceiling. I was ashamed to have to assign that room to people and strongly suggest that the owners - who don’t appear to inhabit the house - pay more attention to its general upkeep.

Gorgeous huge home suitable for a group

9 of us stayed from Aug 2-Aug 8. The home is located on a loch roughly 3 miles from the Eileen Donan castle. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group. The kitchen is very well stocked with anything we needed to cook our meals. There is also a washer and dryer that worked out very well. We had a few issues with a major leaky sink and some minor maintenance issues so gave 4 of 5 stars. The host Ged was very responsive and easy to work with. All in all we had a very nice time!

Ged’s Scottish Highlands property help to make our family vacation dreams come true! Our family of 12 with 4 children 10 and under was very comfortable in this home with plenty of room for us all and no waiting for the bathroom or shower! It is a great home base for beautiful walks and explorations of the hills , loch and its’ island. It’s not far by car from other intriguing places to explore such as Eileen Dornan castle and the Isle of Skye. Ged was very responsive to any questions we had and so helpful with any needs we had. You will not be disappointed if you choose to rent this lovely home!

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!

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.

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

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.
