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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Easy parking, clean, comfortable cottage. The host was quick to response to any questions, the kitchen had a great layout! Enjoyed coffee on the front sun porch. Nice neighborhood, close to Tucker’s Inn for dining out and doing the Mural walk in town. The location was perfect for us to visit Knockan Crag National Nature Reserve, Ullapool, FIndhorn, Logie Steading, and the Dunrobin Castle.

Wonderful stay -'home away from home' experience at Kinleith Cottage.

Kinleith Cottage surpassed our expectations with regard to location, cleanliness, and genuinely felt as if it was 'home away from home'. The owner had furnished the cottage with great care and attention to detail which made our stay very comfortable with breathtaking views across Cromarty Firth from every room. We would highly recommend this property and plan to go back next year as well.

It is a beautiful house facing the sea. The house was very spacious and clean. We spent 4 nights here exploring the high land of Scotland. A perfect location for northern travel. The owner was very friendly and warm. We really enjoyed and love to come back.

A thoroughly fantastic stay

Fantastic trips out to Loch Ness, Culloden, Inverness Walking history tour, wildlife boat trip from Cromarty, Aviemore, Dunrobin Castle and my favourite Skara Brae day trip on The Orkneys. Also saw The Northern Lights. Home inside is immaculate, fantastic views of Cromarty Firth and a nice pub down the road for an evening meal.

Great location for exploring the highlands

Kinleith Cottage was a wonderful location for our trip as we explored the area. The house was clean, spacious, and ideal for our group. There were so many thoughtful extras around the cottage, like books about the area and maps. Noreen was kind and so helpful. We would definitely stay at Kinleith Cottage when we are in the area again.

All above expectations, gorgeous cottage

This spacious home is very comfortable and nicely located. From this cottage you can very well visit the highlands, but also Loch Ness, Cairngorm mountain and the Spey district are good to visit. The cottage is very well furnished, a complete kitchen and a good and warm welcome from the hostess. On arrival there was a nice welcome basket with regional dishes.

Cosy and clean cottage with amazing view

We enjoyed our stay in this cosy and clean cottage with amazing view over the sea. The bedrooms are large with good beds. The kitchen is well equipped, so it is easy to cook dinner for a family. The owner is most helpful and gives good advice about trips too. There are lots of both culture and nature to enjoy in the area. If we come back to the Scottish Highland, we would like to stay in this cottage again.

Perfect Location!

Lovely, comfortable house right across from the Cromarty Firth. Invergordon is a nice little, friendly town to be based in and explore the Highlands. The beds in the house were wonderful—nice living room with comfortable sofas and large window to watch the cruise ships coming and going. All 3 bedrooms were a nice size, good showers. In short, we would definitely stay there again and highly recommend Noreen!!

We had a wonderful time. The home was much larger than expected and was cozy. The town was lovely. We loved Tucker’s Inn. The owner was incredibly helpful with recommendations of things to do and see. We had a problem with the dryer and the response time from reporting to fixing was ten minutes. Everything was terrific.

Small town getaway

A nice quite location with easy access to Inverness and points north. Homey feel with owner suppling crafts for purchase. Lovely small town on the firth within walking distance to several pubs and restaurants. Washer was fine however dryer in garage was a little finicky. Overall met our needs and requirements.

Exceeded expectations

This little beachside cottage is extremely affordable for what you receive. As a base from which you can travel it was absolutely perfect. Invergordon is a sleepy little town but has the town of Alness next door to explore. I highly recommend the Bombay Restaurant there. Appointments in the cottage were appropriate as well as being considerately stocked with some extra food items in case you forgot something. I gave this stay a full 5 Stars because it offered so much more than advertised.

Nice house to go around HighLands in Scotland

Hello We went with friends and our children (family tourism) to the house of Noreen Kelman in Invergordon. The owner greeted us very politely and showed us the house and how to use all things from the house. The house is very nice, it was very clean, with sea views, in a very nice area to be able to move around the Highlands. We were very comfortable. So I recommend it

Lovely cottage, a real home from home.

What a beautiful short break we had in Inverness and this cottage was the perfect base for my family. The cottage has everything you need for a nice relaxing stay and Noreen the owner made sure we were well stocked with a little welcome basket of essentials when we arrived. Beautiful views from every bedroom and the cottage was warm and cosy - just the thing for Autumn nights. We had some family visit us for the day whilst we were there, which then made ten of us, and the living area was perfect for everyone to break off into groups (teenagers playing cards at the table, smaller kids watching a film and the grown ups in the kitchen cooking). It's a beautifull little cottage - a lovely base for exploring and we can't wait to return!

Fabulous house for our family

5 adults stayed one week in this 3 bed, 2 bath home. Plenty of space. Well stocked and clean. Perfect location for exploring Culloden, Ullapool, Dornoch and surrounding areas. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and the starter pack of tea, coffee, milk, cereal and biscuits was a great touch. View of beach and cruise ships out the front windows was an added bonus.Thank you Noreen. I can only hope we can return.

Perfect, perfect perfect! Roomy, clean, well stocked beautiful home

Had a great time seeing the Highlands with this as our base. House was well stocked (both kitchen and baths) and the welcome basket of goodies was perfect. Everything was clean and in working order. There was plenty of room for six adults and we enjoyed several dinners and evenings playing cards. Tucker's was excellent for a pint or two and there was lots of visitor information available at the house if you need suggestions. Beautiful views out all the windows and right across from the beach. Would highly recommend Noreen and the house and hope to be back in the future.
