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.

Summary: This charming home was the perfect place for our girlfriend get away. We used it as a base to drive all around the highlands. The neighborhood was quiet with sounds of just birds and crashing waves. I went for morning walks enjoying the view of the water in the front and up the hill in the back enjoyed beautiful farm land with the sound of sheep in the distance. The home itself was well stocked with everything we needed; glasses, plates, knives as well as some tea, coffee and snacks that Noreen left for us. The beds were clean and soft for a good nights sleep. The showers were also clean and powerful. Noreen goes the extra mile in giving some ideas for activities with an hour or so driving distance and they did not disappoint. To sum it up; this home is the perfect getway! We will be recommending this place.

Summary: My brother and I had a wonderful stay in this lovely, well equipped home. A warm welcome from Noreen was greatly appreciated. It made a great base for exploring the North Highlands. Nice size rooms, great washer and dryer, lovely big tub/showers, clean and had everything we needed. Loved being across from the Cromarty Firth – the oil rig was my night light and the sound of the water lapping gently against the shore – haven’t slept that well in ages. Such a great location – from there we ventured out to Dunrobin Castle, John O’Groats, the west coast, hiked out to Ardverikie (the house used for filming in the Monarch of the Glen) and explored Inverness. People were so friendly and helpful, we didn’t want to leave. McGinty’s is a great local café in the town. Even managed to watch some of the Euros games. Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. I hope we will return soon – Kinleith really is a gem of a place. Thank you for everything!

Summary: 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.

Summary: Kenleith Cottage was absolutely beautiful! It is much larger than it appears in the pictures. The host provided a basket of basic goods in case we did not have any. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the cottage. Noreen has really done well thinking about the needs of the travelers who will be staying there. Noreen herself is very nice and easy to talk to. We would book again if we come back this way. Loved it!

Summary: 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!!

Summary: 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.
