The employees were great. The area was quiet. Room was clean. It did get a bit warm at night as only 1 window opened and only at the top. Overall was a good stay!

6/10 Good

Ok but room exit dangerous

Hotel is aging but room was adequate except for the room door. There was no handle on the inside of the door, except an external Yale deadbold. The bottom of the door (room 1) dragged on the carpet enough that my wife could not open the door using only the deadbold……a serious fire and safety hazard. Food was good and the staff cordial.

The Belgrave Arms was a stopover on the NC500. It was a perfectly pleasant stay with friendly staff in a convenient location. Food was OK (but they didn't have one of our menu choices), and wine list was limited. Beds were comfortable. Overall it was a positive experience.

The owners, Craig and Wendy, were very friendly and helpful for the five days we stayed there. Craig is an excellent chef who adapted meals to suit our requests. Helmsdale itself is a quiet and charming little village with a fabulous museum. The village is centrally located and allowed u to talk short trips in all directions.

A good place for a short rest.. Some loud music, sometimes playing in the bar downstai…. Internet problem, but it doesn't matter to me… The area is rich in beaches, but you need to take good shoes with you, because there are a lot of stones ... in which you can find fossils ...⛏️🐚
Krzysztof, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property was chartered in 1899, and offers an authentic experience. But that is not necessarily a bad thing! Yes, the room was tiny... basically a twin bed and a sink and not much more. But the shared bathroom was fine. Very clean and up to others I have had the enjoyment of sharing. Breakfast (to order) was quite good, but the real draw here is the attached pub, which offered many a fine night of drinking a pint with locals and listening to their stories, and the excellent food. Do not pass on the locally sourced Fish N' Chips. Fantastic! The fact is, is that if you are exploring the Northern Highlands you don't have a whole lot of choices. And if you're up here, you've already decided to join the rough and ready group, The Belgrave Arms offers a decent bed, a good night's sleep, an excellent breakfast, and a welcoming pub to look forward to at the end of a day. If that doesn't get you up here, I don't know what will. Recommended

2/10 Poor

Appena giunti in hotel abbiamo dovuto cercare qualcuno che ci facesse il check in, è venuta una signora che serviva al bar che poi ho scoperto si occupava di tutto. La camera non era molto pulita, polvere e asciugamani con un odore dubbio. Il letto era scomodo e molto stretto. La colazione scarsa

The room was clean but dated, the mattress on the bed was too soft. I had a pleasant stay but was informed on arrival the restaurant wouldn't be open for dinner and I was presented with 3 choices to eat in the bar area. Accommodated the dog very well.

A very comfortable family run hotel, in a quaint street. Room was adequate, with a comfortable bed...always my top requirement. Shower good. Only went in the bar once, but friendly in there. Breakfast, ordered the night before, was excellent, again friendly waitress. A good bargain stay. The owner chatted to me on checking out and volunteered to drive my weighty backpack to my next venue, 27 miles away, as they were going near there. What service!
