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

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 ...⛏️🐚

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.
