We had a wonderful stay at fishermans cottage. Greeted with home made banana bread and milk in the fridge for a much needed cuppa! The house is incredible, real home from home we didnt want for anything! Super clean, loved the fluffiness and fresh smelling towels! So much bigger on the inside than the front of the house. Only thing i would say is to put on more pictures on Vrbo. The few just dont do it justice! We have recommended it to many of our friends and family.

We had a fabulous time in Balintore and the surrounding area. 8 1/2 John St was a great find. The house was excellent and much bigger than photographs suggest. Very comfortable and banana loaf and milk in fridge when we arrived was much appreciated. Lots of great walks along beautiful beaches and lovely local towns within easy drive. Would definitely recommend the house and the area.

The description of the property was perfect. From the comfort of the beds, bathroom facilities, right through to excellent kitchen facilities and comfort of the living room. This cottage could not have offered more complete comfort. Located off the beaten track. It was easy to get to from the A-9 and offered a perfect base to travel the complete Highlands. If golf was your thing, there were many excellent courses within close proximity. We would highly recommend this Balintore cottage to anyone looking for an extended stay in Scotland.

Lovely cottage on a side street. Warm and welcoming owner who met us at the property. Everything you could possibly need in the house. House is clean, cosy and comfortable, its a home from home.

The Cottage is in a quaint coastal fishing village. I can understand why guests would stay for multiple weeks. Everything that you need is here. Perfect location to visit various areas of the Highlands within a hour or so. The Balintore Inn was delicious, be sure to book in. The local pub was cozy, with a pool table. You can enjoy a short walk to the beach or enjoy the patio at the cottage. Christel is a top notch host and we highly recommend staying with her.

Christal and David are outstanding hosts. We rented for two months, an adventure for all of us. We love the small quiet village of Balintore and the town of Tain. Tain has all the necessaries, grocery, restaurants, bus service. The house was lovely and comfortable, beyond our expectations. We would come again if possible.

We had a super stay in this cottage. It was comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. The owner, Christel, was very friendly and quick to respond to any queries about the property. Little touches like the welcome pack of milk, sausages, wine and freshly baked banana bread, was much appreciated. I can honestly say that it is one of the best holiday cottages I have stayed in and it was perfect for exploring the east coast area of Scotland and it’s beautiful beaches.
