Amazing service and even more amazing breakfast. We were welcomed with a hot pot of tea by the fireplace while we checked in. Nice comfortable.room overlooking the river. But the highlight was the breakfast, absolutely amazing!

Situated on the N500 and No1. on TripAdvisor for Helmsdale , basically because there is little else here. Good points are large clean rooms. Downside is the lack of overhead shower. The dining room looked great in the evening when set for morning but by the time we arrived nothing had been cleared from the tables and we had difficulty finding a clean table. There was a choice of hot or cold food , however it was not appealing. The owner wore a filthy apron and therefore my perceptions were not good. P.S. The fish restaurant next door is fantastic .

Arrived to a dismissive welcome. Couldn’t even be bothered to tell us where our rooms were. We explained we were leaving early and asked if there was an option for continental breakfast to go (coffee and pastry) He ignored us. Room was clean and comfortable. There was a bath with a mixer tap but no shower curtain or rail. A little noisy, I could hear other guests banging doors, talking and snoring. In the morning, I tried to shower (sitting in the bath) but the water ran out half way in. The towel was dirty and had some strange orange/brown stains on it. My friend mentioned later that his shower was cold and he had to wash in the sink. Also met some people at a local bar who had stayed there previously and mentioned the lack of shower curtain and cold water. Seems like a common issue.
