About the host
Hosted by Christel Johnstone

Born in the Central Belt of Scotland I spent many years overseas. In 1992 I left the Falkland Islands and brought my 3 daughters to this Highland village. The plan was to spend a few years here and introduce the girls gently to the BIG world. It didn't take long for us to decide that we would settle right here.. Balintore is a charming place to live. Even when "busy" the beach is not crowded, and the locals are friendly and welcoming. Although some might think we are isolated, we are less than an hour from Inverness Airport.. and the rest of the world.
In 2006 I married local lad David and together, over the years, we've watched our 5 children grow, spread their wings, and settle around the world... But we all still call Balintore HOME..

Why they chose this property
David inherited Kintail and has wonderful memories of times spent there. After much thought we decided to renovate it and offer it as a Holiday Cottage for rent. After the success of our first cottage, 8 1/2 John Street, I'm looking forward to meeting many more new guests.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located in the picturesque village of Balintore, Easter Ross, Kintail Cottage is a lovingly renovated cottage offering 2 bedroom luxury holiday accommodation. The cottage is situated in the centre of the village just over the road from the shores of the Moray Firth, just minutes from the beach, harbour and open countryside. The newly renovated cottage offers the character of a traditional cottage with all the convenience and luxury of contemporary fittings and design. There is full central heating, a modern kitchen/diner, flat screen TV and WiFi. After spending a day at the beach or exploring the surrounding countryside take an evening stroll to the local Inn for your nightcap and a chat before settling down in the cosy sitting room for a snooze.
You can take advantage of our long summer days and enjoy the peaceful back garden. The garden is set on 2 level, the lower offering seating and barbecue area, while the upper area provides a large green with a cosy summerhouse tucked under the trees.
Kintail is an ideal location to unwind or exploring the Highlands.
