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.

Trevligt hus
Trevligt hus med utsikt över havet. Nära till affärer och Inverness. Tyvärr så hittade vi gamla mögliga matrester i ugnen.

Outstanding!
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!

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!!

Nice house in great neighborhood
I liked this place because it was roomy but cozy. We stayed 3 nights and were able to explore all along the coast. Definitely a good location.

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.

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.
