Kiltearn House
We are a family-run 4 Star Gold accredited Visit Scotland and Michelin Guest House offering hotel standards with a personal touch. This Victorian former Manse is set in a beautiful countryside location directly on the coast with magnificent sea views across the Cromarty Firth. Fitness tracks and signposted walks with information boards are also directly on our doorstep.

Kiltearn House provides the perfect start or finish to your North Coast 500 adventure! We are only few minutes from the A9 but with perfect tranquility and just a 20 minute drive from Inverness. Set in the area known as Ross-Shire, this is where you see the Highlands as you would imagine it. Winding roads, rugged ever changing landscapes, natural beauty and friendly locals.

Kiltearn House is located on the foreshore of Cromarty Firth, 1.5 miles from the village of Evanton which is situated off of the A9, 17 miles north of Inverness. With only 5 bedrooms plus the self-catering apartment, guests can enjoy peace and quiet and get away from the stresses of everyday life. From the time you walk through the front door into the magnificent hallway you can start to soak up the tranquillity of the house.
Relax and enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the conservatory, with magnificent views across the Cromarty Firth and gardens. In the colder months, guests are invited to have breakfast in the dining room. There is the option of a cooked breakfast, where guests are invited to make their selection the night before using the order sheet so we may prepare for the following morning.
Our cosy dining area and conservatory with views across the firth are open to non-residents every Sunday and bank holiday Monday. What better way to catch up with friends and family than over an indulgent afternoon tea in a relaxed, tranquil setting? Lovingly put together, all of our sandwiches, cakes and sweet treats are freshly made to order using locally sourced produce wherever possible.

Evanton offers an ideal base from which to explore the Northern Highlands of Scotland. We are situated at the start (or finish) of the very popular North Coast 500 route. Local road maps show that there are many minor roads that lead from the main roads so if you want a days walking or just a leisurely drive through glorious scenery there is this network of these minor roads that makes the whole area easily accessible.

We have stayed in 4* hotels that paid less attention to the details than our wonderful hosts at Kiltearn. From the offer of getting dinner delivered and a table set for us, to directions for nearest car charge points, excellent selection of tea in the room, with fresh milk in a small fridge, the toiletries, the amazing home-grown raspberries at breakfast, the local produce, the view of the Cromarty Firth, the comfortable and welcoming living room - you get the idea. Absolutely bowled over! Thank-you.

I can't recommend this place highly enough!!
Amazing peaceful location, with great views from the rooms over the countryside and /or the lake. The hosts are fantastic and really interested in ensuring that you have a pleasent stay.
Since we like our peace and privacy, we are always weary of staying in small Bnbs, however Kiltearn house is super quiet, the rooms are well soundproofed and the owners are very respectful of the guest's privacy.

Our best night in the highlands. This place is exactly what you envision when thinking of a house in the highlands. It’s cosy, warm, relaxing, in the middle of nature. You can sit by the fireplace and enjoy the views. The host is very attentive and very nice. The breakfast was lovely too. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and a lot of attention is given to little details such as having a nice piece of lemon cake for each guest in the rooms. And it makes a big difference. Would stay again.

We stayed at the hotel as part of a socially distanced wedding and it was the perfect reception venue. The hospitality was excellent and the setting was beautiful. I would highly recommend it.
