  • is a full English breakfast included in price , and can you do a gluten free full English , thankyou

    Hi thanks for your message. In the B&B breakfast is included, but not in the self-catering apartments. A gluten free breakfast would consist of eggs (fried/scrambled/poached), grilled bacon, fresh grilled tomatoes, fresh cooked mushroom, baked beans and gluten free bread. Our hash browns contain onion powder, stabiliser, onion,palm oil. The sausages contain gluten. Hope this helps. Kind regards, The Helaina

  • Parking available nearby is relative - could you put an actual distance and the terrain (up or downhill etc) I’m an ordinarily fit 58 yr old but had extensive surgery for cancer that’s dramatically reduced my stamina and ability to walk even smallish distances.

    Thank you for your message There is on street parking outside and all around The Helaina. Bookings are quiet times are likely to get parked outside or within a few meters of the Helaina. A busy times (weekends, holidays and summer) guests may need to park a minute or 2's walk away. Kind regards Tom Wilson The Helaina
