- Astrid (8/5): - Sehr nette Vermieterin
Leckeres Frühstück, auf Wünsche wurde eingegangen,
Sauber und gemütlich WLAN war nicht gut, hat uns persönlich aber nicht gestört, geht auch mal ohne
- Jennifer (9/5): - Lovely host and breakfast
Ideal stop for NC 500 Nothing
- Michael (9/5): A very pleasant B & B - Sharon, the host, was wonderful. She was kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. A separate shower rather than one over the bath would have been preferable but this was only a minor inconvenience.
- Patricia (8/5): Good value stay - Friendly, helpful hosts and freshly cooked breakfast to order.
Walking distance to restaurants. As light sleepers we would have preferred blackout curtains.
- Alan (9/5): Lovely stay. - Breakfast was very nice.
Sharon and Tommy were very friendly and Orla the beautiful dog was a delight.
- Olivier (10/5): - Facile à trouver, bon accueil, chambre confortable, bon petit déjeuner. Rien
- Sebastien (10/5): -
- Subramanian (9/5): finished the stay with great breakfast - The host was great in receiving and making us feel comfortable. She prepared a great breakfast and super bespoke to liking. The facility was clean and crafted. Wee bit spring bed noise on one of the 4 bed, or else nothing much
- David (9/5): -
- Chad (10/5): -
- VANESSA (10/5): Pause au port de Helmsdale - L'accueil du couple, des gens très sympathiques, à l'image des Ecossais. Le petit déjeuner, très bon et copieux.
- Ian (10/5): We loved staying there. Ticked every box for what we required. We will definitely be going back. - We have never been to a cleaner and friendlier guest house ever!! N/A

- ian (10/5): Nice quiet location with plenty of restaurants nearby - Very nice large well appointed room and spotlessly clean , comfortable bed ,breakfast was also very good .

- Marco (10/5): - Tutto: casa e camera molto accoglienti e pulite, padroni di casa gentilissimi e disponibili, colazione ottima e molto abbondante, in centro al villaggio. Letto grande e comodo.
- Phillip (10/5): - Sharon and Tommy were very nice There wasn't anything we didn't like
- David (8/5): Overall, quite comfortable and pleasant - Clean and well-appointed room with ensuite bathroom. Nice breakfast. Helmsdale and surrounds are beautiful. Overall, quite a comfortable and pleasant stay. The staircase to our first floor room was a bit steep and narrow, and could be a challenge for someone with mobility issues. No parking on the premises, so finding a park near the front door wasn't always guaranteed. Neither of these issues were enough to be too much of a problem.
- CShep (9/5): Really helpful and patient, I left 2 things behind and she rang straight away when she found them - The inside was spacious, a lot bigger than the photos looked. Nicely decorated and the breakfast was lovely
- Jennifer (8/5): NC500 Trip overnight Stop - Location is centre of Helmsdale and lots of on street parking by the B&B. Room was very large with own en-suite.

- Desirée (9/5): Super Frühstück - Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und das Zimmer ist praktisch und bequem ausgestattet. Perfekt für einen Kurzaufenthalt um die Gegend zu erkunden. Das Frühstück kann man sich am Vorabend bestellen und wird einem frisch am Morgen serviert, es war sehr lecker und liebevoll zubereitet.

- kirsteen (9/5): Immaculate accommodation at a very reasonable price with a delicious breakfast included! - Spotless accommodation and very friendly and welcoming hosts. The kids loved Orla, the doggie too! Nothing!
- Mariusz (10/5): Polecam! - Pobyt w Kindale House, kameralnym hoteliku będącym częścią prywatnego domu, był wyjątkowym doświadczeniem. Od pierwszych chwil czuliśmy się tam jak u mamy – ciepło, przytulnie i z pełnym poczuciem swobody. Właścicielka przyjęła nas z ogromną życzliwością i poleciła doskonałą lokalną destylarnię, którą również zdecydowanie warto odwiedzić.
Śniadanie zasługuje na najwyższą ocenę – świeże, różnorodne, przygotowane z sercem. Prawdziwym wyróżnikiem była świeża ryba, która idealnie pasowała do charakteru miejsca. Co ciekawe, wioska, w której znajduje się Kindale House, była niegdyś centrum połowu śledzi – ten detal tylko dodał autentyczności całemu doświadczeniu.
Kindale House to miejsce z duszą – spokojne, klimatyczne, z historią i niezwykłą gościnnością. Polecamy każdemu, kto szuka odpoczynku z dala od zgiełku i ceni sobie lokalny charakter oraz domową atmosferę.
- Ada (9/5): Heerlijke stop op onze rondreis door Schotland - Gastvrijheid, locatie, ontbijt
- sonia (10/5): - Guesthouse tout confort et cosy. La chambre est spacieuse et très propre. En plein centre. Le petit-déjeuner est royal !
Nous avons eu des soucis de transport et les propriétaires ont tout fait pour nous aider.
- John (10/5): Lovely hosts - nice quiet and convenient location - very relaxing stay. - Great hosts - recommended local restaurants for evening meal. Breakfast was fresh and cooked to order. Lovely hosts. Nothing to add.
- james (9/5): -
- Adriana (9/5): Recomendo muito!!! - Absolutamente tudo…
- Peter (10/5): -
- kevin (10/5): - Very nice place and location
- Lyn (9/5): Perfect - Breakfast excellent. Hosts are delightful, helpful and concerned for your comfort. Location quiet but very central. Will return there when next in Wick - we have been there before!
- Alastair (9/5): - Comfortable stay in convenient location No issues
- Angela (10/5): A very pleasant stopover on our journey. - The room was spacious, spotless and with everything provided for our comfort.
The hosts were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. We can’t think of a thing.
- Keith (8/5): -
- Sam (10/5): Superb location, a warm welcome makes you wish you’d stayed longer! - Communication from the start was fabulous and the warm welcome from Sharon, Tommy and Orla the dog was really appreciated after a days riding.
The room was large and so cosy and lots of lovely personal touches.
WiFi was fantastic and lots of local recommendations from Sharon on things to do.
Breakfast was exceptional and plenty of food to set us up for the day.
Chatting to both Sharon and Tommy before we left made our day. They really make sure you feel at home and comfortable and we’d hope to return again one day but if we don’t, we’d certainly be recommending them to everyone we know who goes that way! That we failed to check if they did an evening meal - THEY DO if you prebook…..please prebook because if breakfast is anything to go by, the evening meal will be exceptional!
- Mary Paula (8/5): Comfortable, quiet B&B - Comfortable room. Friendly host. Tasty evening meal which was good value. Good choice of breakfast.
- Dave (10/5): I’d stay again in a heartbeat! - Clean, tidy, well presented and lovely people!
- Vladimir (10/5): - I can only highly recommend to everyone to spend some time at the Kindale House. It's really a lovely place, with very clean, cozy and spacious rooms and the owners are one of the nicest people i've ever met while traveling. If you are planning to visit Helmsdale, this place is definitely worth a stay.
- Ian (8/5): Ideal stopover en route for the Orkney ferry - Convenient location, friendly helpful people
- dantgl (9/5): -
- Julie (8/5): Good for a one night stay with breakfast and good location. - A very clean place and location was good. Our bed not so comfortable
- Mike (10/5): Clean and cozy - It was SO clean. The host was super accommodating with our breakfast timing and requests. Parking was easy.
- Thomas (9/5): - Wir wurden freundlich empfangen, das Zimmer war ruhig, das Bett bequem, das Frühstück gut.
Es gab nichts zu meckern :-)
- She wants to travel (10/5): Brilliant - The decor and cleanliness of the property was exceptional. The owners could not have been more pleasant and were just a knock on their door if you needed anything. Lots of advice on the local area if it was needed. In a veery quiet location.
Property 1 minute walk to a restaurant and 3 minutes to the water.
We will definitely visit again if in this area. The 2nd bed in the room (nearest the door) was very noisy when you sat on it and would benefit from a mattress topper of some sort. This is being really picky as everything else in the property was fantastic.

Lovely hosts. Loved it all
- Katrin (10/5): A perfect stay for a trip on the NC500 - Located in a very quiet street, parking on the street right in front of the house. The room was very tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture, good sized queen bed with cuddly linen and everything very clean. We opted for our usual cereals and I got a wonderful Greek yogurt with nuts, honey and cinnamon. But also the cooked breakfast from our neighbouring table looked really delicious and very generous.
