About the host

Hosted by David Johnstone

Host profile image
8 1/2 John Street is run by Christel Johnstone. Her husband, David, works away and renovated 8 1/2 over two years. David was born in the village of Balintore and met Christel when she owned one of the local hotels. They married several years ago and still live in the village.

Why they chose this property

Balintore is one of the Seaboard villages situated on the east coast of Ross-shire, in the Scottish Highlands.
Over looking the Moray Firth, Balintore was a traditional fishing village. The centrally located harbour is just a minutes walk from the house.

The peaceful village location offers essential amenities and is an ideal base for exploring the Highlands.
Although Easter Ross is a remote rural area the city of Inverness is only 40 minutes by car.
We have lived in Balintore for many years and love the area.
