Harbour View Cottage, Portmahomack

Welcome to Harbour View, our wonderful seaside cottage which is warm and welcoming - the perfect year round property just yards from a sandy beach, shop and cafe/restaurant in the lovely village of Portmahomack. A wonderful setting with amazing sea views and ideally located for many Highland attractions . Sea trips, fishing and water sports, bird and dolphin spotting are some of the things this area has to offer. Great for couples, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). Portmahomack is a delightful seaside village, the only west facing East Coast village in Scotland and it has it's own micro climate. Very rarely wet! It houses the renowned Oystercatcher restaurant (Michelin guide recommended) open Wed - Sunday in high season. Please book in advance. There are also some coffee shop/lunch spots at the Carnegie Hall, Golf Club and Caledonian Bistro. The beach is beautiful, very quiet and perfect for dog walking or sand-castle making! Tain is a few miles away and is a larger town with key amenities like supermarkets (Asda,Tesco,Lidl), dentist,doctors etc. There is also a great children's play park on the way to the golf club. There is a swimming pool at Alness and Invergordon. Other places to go are Falls of Shin (walking), Cromarty Ferry (dolphin spotting), Tarbatness Lighthouse (dolphin spotting,walking). We want our guests to be as comfortable as possible in Harbour View and only ask that dog owners keep dogs downstairs. The back garden opens out on to a small children's play park and the key for the gate hangs by the front door. We have a key holder - Morag - a lovely local lady who will be contactable in case of any emergencies during your stay. Portmahomack is a delightful and picturesque seaside village on the north east of Scotland. It is ideally situated to make the most of the beautiful scenery and attractions of the Highlands of Scotland. From shopping in the cool city of Inverness or historic town of Dornoch, dolphin spotting on the Moray Firth, walking on the beautiful beach, golfing, fishing or just generally chilling in the kitchen of Harbour View and taking in the wonderful vista! Ideally it is better to have a car when staying at Harbour View and there is parking on the street outside the house (avoid parking directly outside the house or you won't get the benefit of the fantastic view)! There is a regular bus service to Tain where there is also a train station accessible from all main stations via Inverness. Please note that we ask guests to vacate Harbour View by 10.30am on their day of departure.
