the belgrave arms had a wonderfully warm atmosphere. the staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel welcome. breakfast was delightful, featuring fresh local sausages and eggs. it's ideally located for exploring the real north of scotland.

some noise from the main road.

The welcoming owners made our stay feel personalized and special, providing insights into the local area that enhanced our trip.

The food quality could use some improvement. the evening meal was satisfactory, but I had reservations about the breakfast options, which I ultimately decided to skip.

Excellent local insights from the friendly owners.

The owners at Belgrave Arms were super welcoming. Craig's cooking blew me away. he even adjusted our meals on request. The local banter at the bar was hilarious—Donald had us laughing with his unique humor and dry wit. I loved hanging out with the locals while enjoying a good drink selection. The location was excellent for day trips, right on the JoG trail, making it easy to explore the area. I did notice some road noise from my room. earplugs were provided, which helped. the shared bathroom had some cleanliness concerns, though it wasn't a deal-breaker. A few more amenities in the room could enhance the comfort level. I appreciated the charming atmosphere and local insights from the staff, making it a fulfilling stay.

Had a great time! The food was fantastic with lush vegetarian options, and I loved the cozy vibe—felt like home. Only downside was the noise from the road, but overall, I’d definitely stay again!

The whole family enjoyed the children's playground outside, which kept the kids entertained while we relaxed. The staff were warm and welcoming, making it feel like home, especially with spacious family rooms that worked perfectly for us.

My wife says that there could be more entertainment options for families.

The staff created a fantastic atmosphere. the banter at the bar was memorable and had us laughing all night! Breakfast was fresh with hearty local sausages. it’s great to find a dog-friendly place too.

Everything was spot-on.

Great spot for a breather!

This was a nice place to crash for the night. Our family room had comfy beds and a good view. The staff were chill and friendly. We loved hanging out in the bar area with a relaxed vibe, though it did get a bit loud when the locals came in. Neat spot though!

great stay but some road noise

The breakfast offered great local sausages that were truly delicious. I appreciated that the hotel was dog-friendly, allowing my pet to join me. The secure area for my bicycle was a standout feature, providing peace of mind during my stay. The lovely sea view from my room added charm to the experience.

I noticed some noise from the main road, which could be bothersome at times.

The single room was comfy enough for a night. Shared bathroom was super clean, which made me feel okay using it. It had a great vibe overall, especially with the bar downstairs. Just a bit basic, but for the price and the area, it was totally reasonable.

Just a good match for a short break in Helmsdale, offering great value for the money. Enjoyed lively banter with locals while having a drink. it was a true Scottish experience. If you're up for real local character, definitely stop by the bar.

It was just an appropriate option for a short staycation in Helmsdale with outstanding value for money. The banter with the locals at the bar was hilarious and made the experience memorable. If you enjoy a lively atmosphere, definitely join in the fun at the bar.
