About this property

Highland 'Home from Home' with panoramic view of Cromarty Firth

Situated on the shores of the Cromarty Firth with stunning views to the Black Isle our cottage sleeps six comfortably and can accommodate up to nine.
The cottage is deceptively spacious (total floor area of 129 square metres) . On the ground floor there is a roomy lounge with archway to a large kitchen/diner, bathroom with separate shower and one family room with double and single bed.
On the first floor there is a shower room between one roomy double bedroom and another family room with double and single bed.
There is also a small elevated garden area behind the cottage.
Off road parking can accommodate three cars.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Saltburn is a small village on the outskirts of Invergordon and is an ideal situation for touring the Highlands with easy access to superb beaches, forests, hill walking, golf, cycling, fishing, etc. There are at least six 18 hole golf courses within an hour's drive, including Royal Dornoch, so perfect location for a golfing holiday!
Invergordon, 1½ miles away is a cruise liner destination, in fact some liners tie up at Saltburn pier when there are more than 2 liners on one day. It also has stunning murals on gables all over the town and boasts a sports centre with leisure pool, naval museum, an 18 hole golf course and a bowling green. A choice of restaurants and take-aways cater for most tastes.

Only a few miles away is the Balnagown estate which has good opportunities to explore the outdoors with dedicated cycling and walking routes.

The Black Isle, which is viewed from your cottage's windows is really a peninsula and is well worth a visit with lots of quaint villages. Cromarty Courthouse Museum, housed in an original court building of 1773, portrays the life of an old Scots burgh (of which Cromarty is a fine example). Hugh Miller's Cottage, recalling the life of the locally-born geologist and church-man, is also here.

The Black Isle Wildlife and Country Park has a good selection of animals (some of which can be hand fed by children).

There are distilleries to visit at Alness, Muir of Ord and Tain.

Tain through Time explores the very different story of Tain, (Scotland's oldest Royal burgh) formerly an important place of pilgrimage.

Other places of interest include the Highland Museum of Childhood at Strathpeffer and the Groam House Museum at Rosemarkie which takes a Pictish theme, as does the Tarbat Discovery Centre at Portmahomack, based on the findings of an internationally important archaeological dig.

At Chanonry Point in Rosemarkie dolphin spotting is a popular attraction and dolphin tours can be booked at various locations.

Balintore, Portmahomock and Dornoch (all within an hour's drive)have superb beaches.

Beyond the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer, Ullapool is a small fishing village on the rugged west coast which is very popular.

Had to Clean Freezer etc before we used them
We had brought frozen dishes, I had to clean the freezer before I put our dishes in, every drawer had crumbs and one had melted ice cream. There were 2 bins under a table with no lids, I open the grill to make a meal to find the under side of the grill pan was very greasy. We were left a nice welcome pack including filter coffee unfortunately the filter machine had a filter with blue mould from a previous occupant. I phoned the owner and they offered a full refund however we had family arriving later that evening. After cleaning we decided to stay for a few days and managed to find another property from later in the week . We got a refund for the days we didn’t stay and the extra charged for additional cleaning and laundry for our extra guest was refunded.

It was a nice cottage to stay, very clean and tidy and the owner was very responsive when needed.
We really enjoyed the stay at Kinleith Cottage. It was a beautiful house facing the sea. The neighbourhood was very calm and quite. Perfect location for day trips to Northern Highlands. Owner Noreen was very helpful and was very responsive when needed. We look forward to come stay again in Kinleith.

Very nice house to stay. Noreen has kept almost every thing we need for family especially if you are into cooking such as Indian food. May be a pressure cooker is the only thing missing but we had our own!!! 😁 The only problem was the shower upstairs don't get hot water continuously may be it looses pressure, Noreen can install a pump!! Otherwise a very nice house to stay. The location is nice but not very near to Loch Ness. If weather is nice there is beautiful beach just in 20 minutes drive, its called Dornoch beach.

About the host

Hosted by Noreen Kelman

Host profile image
I grew up and worked in Invergordon just a mile along the road from Saltburn. When my husband and I retired from our shop in Invergordon we decided to move to Saltburn. We live just along the road from "Kinleith".

Why they chose this property

The cottage is deceptively large with a total floor area of 129 square metres, is well laid out and has a small elevated garden.

What makes this property unique

The Cromarty Firth seen from every room in the cottage looks out to the Black Isle which is really a peninsula, so the views are always changing.
