Convenient place to stay after a week on Orkney before returning via the NC500. Very good size room with view to woods behind the house. Clean and comfortable and good breakfast. Friendly and efficient service.

We had the room with a separate private bathroom, which was a bit of a way down the hallway past other rooms rather than being adjacent. Wasn't really a problem for us but needed to think about what to take when heading to the shower! Decor is a bit dated but clean

The location was incredible, with views out over an absolutely stunning beach. The staff were friendly and Marley the labrador was adorable. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The room was big, the bed was comfortable and we slept really well. The shower was hot and powerful. There was plenty of space to park. If we ever find ourselves in this beautiful corner of the world again (which I hope we do!) we wouldn't hesitate to stay here.

Nothing - we loved our stay.

Outstanding hospitality offered by Rolf; nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We also had an evening meal there which was absolutely delicious with Rolf being a most attentive host. The B&B is two minutes drive from Melvich beach and whilst located off the main road, you can hear absolutely no road noise. Highly recommended in every respect!

Nothing; Rolf has fine-tuned his operation to a 'T'. Keep it going!

Rolf (and Marly the black lab) was a great host. It was a great convenience for Rolf to wash, dry and fold our clothes. The room was spacious and well appointed with a great sea view. The bathroom was modern and spotless. Shelling BanB is a great stopover when travelling along the northern section of the NC500. It’s also only a short drive to The Flows nature reserve that protects extensive peat bogs.

Cozy room conveniently located right on the NC 500 so no detour necessary, but far enough from the road. Gorgeous view of the beach, which you can walk to. It is isolated from shops/restaurants, but that is to be expected on this route. The only local (walking distance) restaurant was fully booked so we went to Farr Bay Inn, which was amazing. The best part? Marley, who wanted belly rubs every time we walked in or out! He is the best dog for a B&B!

What a wonderful welcome! We were completing a Lands End to John O’Groats bike ride and arrived disheveled but were given the warmest welcome. My room and the allocated bathroom was superb. Breakfast and packed lunch perfect. Cuddles with Marley the lab were really needed! Also had help with organising a taxi to the station. Everything perfect!

I didn’t want to leave!

The Sheiling is located very close to a beach and direct at the NC500. The room was comfy , with the best mattress we had during our stay in Scotland. The host was super friendly, the breakfast was very delicious.

The water kettle was very stained inside and here and there the vacuum didn´t get all the dirt and dust in the corners. But the dust was a common thing in different accomodations with high ratings. May be a different standard on the island.

Great location good breakfast really friendly helpful host and Labrador!

Price bit on the high side compared to what we would normally pay for a b&b in other tourist places. However we understand with the limited supply and huge demand as it's on the NC500.
