The Hotel is conveniently located, close to the main throughfare from Inverness to Thurso/Scrabster - so an ideal location to pause a long journey and take a breather before heading north for an early/later ferry. The Hotel and staff are welcoming and friendly - the facilities comfortable and clean - and the location ideal for exploring the 'auld town' of Helmsdale, its harbour, beach and environs. Our room - a 'family room' with three single beds, TV, sink and view - suited us perfectly and would suit any single parent travelling (or a small party of friends). I wish more hotels had rooms like these, as the single beds mean there's more room/less clutter than is often the case.

We weren't aware that the room was not en-suite, but this wasn't an issue as there were multiple, clean and well-equipped shower rooms and toilets close to our (and every) room, and a large handbasin in the room which made toothbrushing and face-washing a convenient part of our bedtime routine.

One can always tell how good an establishment by checking the sausage served at Breakfast. The sausage was GREAT! Really tasty. I loved that the place was dog friendly, that I was charged for a single room and didn't have to pay a supplement because I'm a solo traveller. The Hotel was VERY reasonable. I also rated the facilities. My bicycle was placed in a secure area undercover too. Can't fault. Helmsdale is lovely too.

Bathroom not ensuite but I wouldn't expect that for the money I paid, so all good. Also - heard the neighbour coming in later on...These are very minor quibbles - really, I would recommend the Belgrave Arms Hotel to anyone travelling that way.

The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of Helmsdale but right next to the bridge into the village. Inside, it is perfectly comfortable and the food, including vegetarian options, was ample and tasty. The owners treated me very well and even gave me a lift back to Inverness. They are also knowledgeable about local walks. Note that the place is closed on Wednesdays.

Couldn't really fault it.

The owners made me feel so welcome from the moment I stepped in the door. A great little bar area. Locals were friendly too. Breakfast was good to served straight from the kitchen and in hot trays like some well known hotels. Overall I really enjoyed my one night stay here and if I’m ever up that way again I’d be looking to book there.

No en-suite room but toilet and shower room were only feet away in the hallway.

It was right on the JoG trail and for me, represented excellent value for money. I got a comfortable place to sleep, a piping hot shower and a generous complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits including breakfast!

The room I was given provided complimentary ear plugs as the window faced a busy main road. In fairness however, this didn’t bother me as I was out like a light.

The whole team were really friendly but still professional and made both myself and my dog incredibly welcome. I arrived on a beautiful sunny day whilst doing the NC500, enjoyed a couple of drinks in the garden before checking into my room, drinks were very reasonably priced, also had dinner later which was good and again reasonable. Room was better than I anticipated for the price paid, it was clean, comfortable and well maintained for an old property. Apparently the room I stayed in is due to be refurbished soon. Shared bathroom was immaculately clean, with a stock of laundered bathmats available to use and then place in a laundry basket. I didn't use but a nice touch one doesn't expect in a small family run hotel, if you'd forgotten any bathroom products the hotel provides complementary products. Breakfast really good the following morning.

Nothing, bearing in mind the price of the single room, I thought the hotel provides exceptional value and quality for the cost. The hotel even provided earplugs as the bedroom window is an original single glazed sash.

Almost everything this was last minute booking but it was wonderful,staff was very helpful n considerate. All the small bits n bob provided were amazing well over expected.

Car park was not small but we still got the parking space so can’t really complain about it .

We were a party of divers en route to Scapa Flow in the Orkneys. Excellent place to stay for one night . Everyone can have a meal together on arrival. There are single rooms available, it is an easy drive up to the Scrabster ferry the next day after a splendid breakfast.

We were well looked after, absolutely nothing to complain about. We have stayed here many times and know exactly what they do well. It isn't luxurious but is very welcoming after a long drive north

We were made to feel at home immediately. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was excellent and they even gave us a bag of ice for our cool box.

It's not ideal to share a bathroom but at least there was a nice big sink in the room.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff were amazing, great for journeys to different locations for the day breakfast and dinner were fantastic and Finnish of at the bar and beer garden had a great five night stay 😀
