- Peter (10/5): Perfecte B&B aan de NC500 route - Prachtige locatie aan de NC500 en 250 meter vanaf strand / kust. Gastheer is echt fantastisch. Zorgt ook voor heerlijke eenvoudige avondmaaltijd als je niet meer op de motor wilt stappen. Kamer echt schoon. Koffie en thee faciliteiten. Ergens voelt gewoon alsof je thuis bent. Motor staat mooi op eigen terrein geparkeerd. Niets eigenlijk
- alessia (9/5): -
- Rolf (8/5): war sehr gut, würden wieder kommen - Der Gastgeber ist Schweizer. War schön zwischendurch Schweizerdeutsch zu sprechen. Das Abend - und Frühstück war sehr gut. Es gab Salat, was uns freute nach mehreren Tagen ohne diesen. Es gibt nichts zu meckern
- Linda (10/5): -
- Michael (7/5): A generally decent B & B, perhaps slightly over-priced in comparison to similar establishments. - A decent-sized room, adequately equipped. Parking available on-site. A good quality traditional breakfast. A general air of ‘tiredness’ about the furnishings and decor; the property would benefit from a general ‘makeover’.

- Kenneth (10/5): -
- Antonella (8/5): Finalmente un espresso - Da Napoletana trovare la macchina Nespresso con le Capsule Napoli,dopo aver dimentcato la mia "napoletana" da qualche parte , è stato bellissimo. La struttura è confortevole, e il parcheggio è comodo. Anche le camere e i letti sono buoni
- Jeffrey (10/5): Great Stopover for the NC500 - Rolf, our host, was very engaging. We liked the location very much. Rolf made us a great dinner as there are no restaurants close by. Breakfast was first class. N/A
- Picco (7/5): -
- Trudi (10/5): A great find! - We were made very welcome at The Sheiling and had a room with a wonderful view of Melvich Bay, and what a beautiful beach!
A short walk to the Halladale Inn for food, too.
Breakfast was perfect, and there were plenty of choices, and I would definitely stay again if in the area.

- Christine (9/5): Wunderbare Lage!!! - Es liegt wunderschön, ist ruhig, einfach aber kreativ eingerichtet und der Gastgeber ist freundlich, hilfsbereit und informiert gern über die Gegend- auf Deutsch! Das Zimmer war etwas klein.
- Andrea Ferrara (7/5): -
- Gendre (10/5): - Friendly welcome
Excellent breakfast
- Denny (9/5): - Comfortable, clean, lovely views and good breakfast. Great place to stay.
- Darren (8/5): A very good stayover for the NC500 - The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower was hot and powerful and the owner was welcoming. The breakfast was a bit small compared with others we had on our trip, but very tasty and well cooked. There is a lounge with a dartboard and karaoke machine, which seemed a bit out of place in what is a quiet B&B in a terrific position on the NC500. The B&B did offer a small evening menu which wasn't advertised on our booking, but could be as there isn't a lot locally. As it was, we ate in Scrabster 20 minutes down the road (Capillas is a superb Tapas restaurant - highly recommended). Our rooms decor was quite dated and had an overwhelming sour smell to it, especially when we first walked in, not sure if it was an air freshener masking something, but we had to have the window open; fortunately it was a warm night!
- Patricia (9/5): Comfortable and easy to find - Rick is a great host AND cook! The lounge provides gorgeous views of the coast and there’s an outdoor picnic area when the weather permits!
- Gregory (9/5): Très bon séjour. - Situation privilégiée à 2 pas de Melvich Bay. Hôte accueillant et qui propose un repas le soir si on le prévient.
- Michael (8/5): Nice stay - I made this booking on behalf of a group and didn't stay at this location myself but those who did say it was good
- Siew Whoon (10/5): A perfect stopover along the NC500 - The Sheiling was a very comfortable and warm stay for my family. The place was very clean and the rooms were big. The host was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was yummy too. The surroundings was so peaceful and beautiful. The room we had didn’t have an en-suite bathroom but a huge private bathroom. It was stated but it would have been good if there was an en-suite.
- Carl (9/5): - De ligging langs de nc500 is zeer goed
De prijs voor het verblijf is voor de regio zeer goed. Ontbijt is in begrepen en goed
En je kan s’avond ook ter plaatse eten. Want de restaurants zijn op een behoorlijke afstand
- Nick (7/5): -
- Maxime (9/5): - Hôte sympathique.
La chambre est confortable et propre.
Bon petit déjeuner.
Très calme, parfait pour dormir.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis. Les rideaux pourraient être un peu plus occultant.
- Marius (10/5): We absolutely loved it here. Between the forest and the sea, an amazing place. Perfectly run B&B with a nice host wi -
- Peter (10/5): Uitstekend -
- Clare (8/5): Great location, fantastic breakfast. Attentive host. A good pit stop on NC500 - Great location to break journey in NC500 and lovely views. Breakfast was excellent, host great, everything was clean. Rooms were a little dated, and thought it was quite expensive, but not much else in the area.
- Julian (8/5): Süßes B&B für die Durchreise. - Der Besitzer dieses B&B‘s ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war auch ein voller Genuss. Die Zimmer waren schön eingerichtet und es gab eine Kaffeemaschine und einen Wasserkocher im Zimmer und wenn man noch etwas gebraucht hat, konnte man den Host einfach fragen. Manche Dinge haben etwas alt gewirkt, aber das hatte auch einen gewissen Charme.
- christine (9/5): It was really great - Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Nothing
- H-J (8/5): Prima maar geprijsd. - De eigenaar was vriendelijk. Had warm eten, faciliteiten als een droger en een mooi uitzicht.
Verder hadden mijn leren handschoenen vlekken gemaakt op het bed en dit was geen probleem volgens de eigenaar. De prijs, best duur voor een nachtje slapen voor niet een heel bijzondere kamer.
- Paul (10/5): Lovely B&B on LeJog route - A real proper B&B, perfect location for LeJog route. Owner attention to detail and service was fabulous. Safe storage for bike.
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Vanessa (9/5): A lovely place to stop on our journey on the NC500. - The evening meal was very welcome after a long days travelling.
The furnishings in the room were very nice - I loved the antler chandelier and lamps.
We had a great view from our room.
- Faucheux (9/5): - Tout. accueil sympa bon emplacement calme aussi. Tout bon pour une pose sur la route 500 ecosse
- Andy (10/5): Great experience, would thoroughly recommend. - Excellent, very hospitable host, lovely room, very pleasant overall experience.
- Shanice (9/5): Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. - Geräumiges Zimmer mit neuem Bad, WLAN top, schöner Ausblick, genügend kostenfreie private Parkmöglichkeiten direkt vor der Unterkunft, leckeres unkompliziertes Frühstück und Abendessen, toller Gastgeber mit sehr süßem Labrador. Wir haben leider ein Kissen im Zimmer vergessen. Rolf war so lieb & hat es uns umgehend nach Deutschland verschickt.
Außerdem haben wir Tipps für unseren weiteren Urlaub erhalten. Etwas hoher Preis, jedoch normal für die Gegend.
- Hazel (10/5): Had a great time. - Friendly host, close to the beach, comfy beds, tasty breakfast.
- Tracy (9/5): Friendly welcoming and inviting. - The owner made us very welcome, we sat outside in the evening sunshine and we were told to feel free to use the fire pit. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Didn’t dislike anything
- Andrei (8/5): -
- Richard (9/5): -
- Marlene (8/5): Very comfortable,clean and well maintained,very friendly host. - The breakfast was very good.
- Helen (10/5): A lovely B&B. - Our room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The owner was really welcoming and helpful.
- Michelle (10/5): - Host helped above and beyond
- Liz (9/5): - Lovely scrambled eggs and homemade jam The desert at evening meal was strange!
- Lori (8/5): Good location - Convenient location on our way along NC 500. The view from our room was stunning.
The owner was very pleasant, and he's really good at making breakfast. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. Did have an issue figuring out how to operate the shower, but were eventually successful. The pillows need more stuffing, but all else was satisfactory.
- Jason (9/5): Beautiful views, genial host, slight smell of smoke - The view from the property was breathtaking. Rolf was a fabulous host. The hallway had a fusty, old smoke smell, like it really needed airing out.
- Andy (8/5): Good, but overpriced. Accommodation is scarce in the area, so I guess the price reflects that. - Lovely location. Welcoming host. Nice room, Expensive fir what it is. Dinner was basic and over priced.
- Kent (9/5): Lovely B&B with excellent views & facilities - Great 1 night stop in this lovely B&B. Fantastic views of the coast from one of our rooms. Very comfortable rooms with full facilities including a coffee machine. Smashing breakfast & a welcoming host. One of our rooms had a separate bathroom to the main bedroom which was private but a little inconvenient.
- Paul (6/5): Fine. Not cheap, no issues - Good location breakfast. Quiet. Plenty of parking. Old. Tired. Needs modernising. Smell of cigarettes.
- David (10/5): - Very comfortable facilities with an excellent breakfast.
- Teresa (9/5): Great sea view , clean rooms - Wonderful sea view from bedroom 4 . Great, quiet location very close to the beach . Very tasty breakfast , thank you . Clean room and food facility , made to feel welcome Nothing
- Alexis (8/5): Happy - Spotlessly clean
Water views
Comfortable bed
Friendly host
Easy parking on site All good.
More expensive than we’d normally pay but as there isn’t much accommodation in the area and many tourists, it’s supply and demand.
- Steven (10/5): We were a cycling group for one night.Everything was reaaly good Thanks - Cozy and informal.
- Deborah (6/5): Good for single overnight stay on NC500 - Good shower room, views of the sea Smelt of dog, bed was very uncomfortable needs a mattress topper. I could feel the springs all night
- Constantin (9/5): Recommend, - The best location, parking, beach, good breakfast, No objections
- Michael (9/5): -
- Susan (8/5): Lovely stop over on the NC 500 - Friendly welcome
Comfy bed
Delicious breakfast
Gorgeous Dog Nothing
- Martin (7/5): Great location - Brilliant location. Pleasant host able to provide evening meal. No negative points Perfectly happy with property
- josef (5/5): sehr teuer, für mich stark überteuert. - extrem kleines Zimmer, Kein Platz mehr für die Koffer Es wird Essen und Getränke angeboten, aber dann nur nein Wein für rot oder weiß im unteren Preissegment, bei den Verkaufspreisen wird jedoch gut zugeschlagen.
- Ernst (9/5): Würden wieder buchen - Sehr netter Vermieter, der sehr bemüht war
- Jonathan (8/5): - Nice room with en suite facilities and a bathroom that wasn't a shoe box size. Great coffee maker in the room too. It wasn't a dog friendly place, as the previous 3 places we'd stayed at were. It was a last minute booking my wife had made, so not really much time to find a dog friendly place. Even though the owner had his own dog on site, it's hard to understand how a dog lover would make another sleep outside in a car. For that reason alone I wouldn't return.
Secondly, I found this to be the same with one of the other hotels we'd stayed at, a very small TV on the wall approx 14", maybe 15" tops on a fixed bracket that couldn't angle, so it was not a great viewing angle. Also the reception was terrible with limited channels over a regular aerial. I'm sure this could be solved with the likes of an amazon firestick that gets all channels via the Internet. Problem solved.
- EdiH (8/5): - Private/nice value/good storage for bikes smoke smell in the corridor
- Brian (8/5): -
- Bernhard (10/5): - Toller Gastgeber der uns auf schweizerdeutsch begrüsst hat. Wir konnten auch dort zu Abendessen, die Auswahl bestand aus zwei Menues zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Frühstück war sehr gut. Wir haben die Nespresso Kaffeemaschine sehr geschätzt! Nichts
- Margetson (10/5): - Clean, tidy, comfortable and great breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful and early check in wasn't a problem. Nothing
- Janine (9/5): - Guter Gastgeber, zuvorkommend und freundlich ohne Dick aufzutragen, ist immer für seine Gäste da, flexibel und sich auch mal die Zeit nimmt für ,,einen Schwatz,,. Süsser Hund der einem mit Freude begrüsst und sich bei jeder Gelegenheit für Streicheleinheiten zur Verfügung stellt:-)
- Green (7/5): - The host was very accommodating,., the place was clean and was okay for a one night stay. All was fine really, but we were doing the NC500 as two couples, and none of us are too keen on b&b accommodation,we prefer a hotel, but they are a bit thin on the ground in the far north. A little tip if you're thinking of doing this fantastic road trip.
BOOK EARLY or you may be disappointed.
- Ann (8/5): - Host offered freshly cooked evening meal at very reasonable price. View from room lovely as it was out to beach. Bathroom quite small but adequate
- James (9/5): -
- Milda (8/5): A convenient accommodation on RC 500 - We liked the location, a friendly host, breakfast, coffee machine in the room, hand cream in the bathroom. The bed could have been larger (or two beds instead) as for two normally constitued persons it seemed to be a bit too narrow. The property's shower was a true riddle! In the shower cabine, there was no place to put shampoo or any other bottles.
- Joanne (9/5): Really relaxing, lovely place to stay. - Wonderful view from the bedroom, lovely breakfast, nice location, friendly host. V clean and comfortable Nothing
- Pat (9/5): Right on the NC500 and a great host. - Good location and very convivial host. Good facilities. A bit dated
- Craig (10/5): Rolf was top notch - Rolf was super, great friendly host nothing is too much trouble. I had a good stay here and the coffee selection in the room was fantastic never had so much choice. Nothing to say here
- Ian (10/5): -
- Tony (8/5): -
