Bannockburn Inn, hotel in Helmsdale

Located in Helmsdale, 16 miles from Dunrobin Castle, Bannockburn Inn provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

The family who run the Inn are all very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean as was the shared bathroom. The home-cooked spicy vegetable soup and Chinese chicken curry in their restaurant were great! A great base for exploring Sutherland.

Kindale House, hotel in Helmsdale

Kindale House enjoys a location in Helmsdale, 27 miles from Carnegie Club Skibo Castle and 28 miles from Royal Dornoch Golf Club.

NC500 without the hassle. Outstanding personalized breakfast with locally caught, fresh fish option (so much for boring Scottish breakfast). Extremely nice and quiet rooms (there are only 2). Access to fridge, extremely pleasant hosts, very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We were in Scotland for 3 weeks and this was one of the nicest, most pleasant, and comfortable BnB's we stayed in. HIGHLY recommended as is Helmsdale, great little town. Quiet with plenty to do, Telford Bridge, Telford Church, awesome sea bird watching opportunities nearby, fantastic access to the NC500 destinations. There is even a local volunteer run 9 hole golf course that we thoroughly enjoyed. Access to the entire area of the NC500 is very easy from Helmsdale without the traffic, noise and hassle of being on the route.

    A beautiful little scenic seaside village, which has the main A9 road meandering through it. Easily accessible for all, with a train station too. Provides stunning views out across the North Sea, with the opportunity to capture some local wildlife. The villlage has a well stocked local Spar shop. Take away shops, restaurants, pub and hotel. All the necessary facilities for a break away. Only an hour drive away, is John O'Groats, Dunnet Head and Duncansby Stacks. All are well worth visiting, and easily recahable for all ages. Situated on the NC500, it's a perfect location both for exploring the village, but also the country close to it. Would definitely recommend a visit

    Lovely friendly place, lots of manageable walks.

    Lovely friendly place, lots of manageable walks. Plenty places to eat tho I’d recommend booking in advance of planned visit if in peak holiday times. Choice of gift shops, interesting museum to look around and explore the history of the area. Different options for accommodations from air bnb self catering to b&b, hotels, and area for camper vans passing through.

    Outstanding little town.

    Outstanding little town. Very nice people, lots of history, great river and ocean front, adequate dining (good choices for food, just not a lot of them), fantastic (yet quiet) access to the NC500 route and destinations. Excellent 9 hole volunteer run golf course (clubs available to borrow...it ain't Royal Dornoch!). It's fun, relaxed and runs on donations. Telford Bridge, nearby sea bird watching (Whalingoe Steps is incredible, of course Dunnet Head up north too), Ousdale Broch, Telford Church, Helmsdale River ($$$ fishing) and the beach. We were in Helmsdale 3 nights and could have stayed 2 more.

    Convenient for travelling A9.

    Convenient for travelling A9. A nice walk around Harbour after driving. A working kitchen just down the corridor. Easy for making toast in morning or cooking breakfast if you wished to do it. A washing machine was available to use for a small charge unless staying for a period when it was free.

    Pleasant town on the coast.

    Pleasant town on the coast. Disappointed neither of the pubs were serving meals to non locals (apparently staff issues), however found Thyme & Plaice and had a lovely meal there. Dog friendly, relaxed and informal venue. No alcohol licence but happy for you to bring your own.
