Welcome

Our characterful cottage, built in the early nineteenth century, provides four-bedroomed accommodation for up to eight guests. The Accommodation page provides full details of our facilities and what you can expect.

Located in the heart of the historic village of Helmsdale, yet overlooking the mouth of the River Helmsdale, one of the most prestigious salmon fishing rivers in Scotland, our self-catering accommodation is the ideal location from which to base your holiday in the Scottish Highlands. The Location page shows you exactly where to find us and we have provided suggestions for what you can do if you come to stay with us on the Things to see and do page.

Prices for short breaks start from £300. Being able to accommodate eight guests is obviously a great advantage for larger groups of family or friends but we understand that small parties might enjoy the extra space we can provide. As a result our pricing structure provides a reduced cost if only one or two of our bedrooms are required.

Please contact us if you have any queries.

You can find our special deals, last minute breaks, up-to-date information on what's happening locally and much more on our facebook page.
