Cromarty, poised on the tip of the Black Isle at the mouth of the Cromarty Firth, is the Highlands' best preserved historic town. It is a jewel, rich in history, folklore, striking architecture, and offers grand views of seven counties from the headland above it. But Cromarty is more than just an 18th-century town, providing a wealth of attractions for active travellers and holidaymakers, including sandy beaches, unusual architecture, Bottlenose Dolphins, eating places, a multi-award-winning museum, beautiful countryside, wildlife, and bird reserves of international importance, to name but a few. Being a car journey away from Inverness, the 'Capital of the Highlands', Cromarty combines the advantages of its convenience as a base from which to travel throughout the Highlands, with an apparent detachment from the mainstream tourist routes, giving the best of both worlds.

The flat was very clean and well laid out to a high standard. Kitchen was well equipped but only thing that let it down was there was no oven glove but other than that we couldnât fault it. We would stay there again.

Not great service on tv but used to that in country locations and with Cromarty views just outside door who needs a tv. The living room was slightly too hot for us but that was probably due to the unseasonably hot weather .
