welshbairn Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I've got a Canadian cousin coming over on a golfing holiday and I'm struggling to find somewhere for him and company to stay for a reasonable price in the topic's area. Was going to send a pm to @Rowan as she seems to know the area well, but I thought I'd open it up to the world. I've recommended the Sutherland Inn in Brora but I think he's a bit dubious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Royal Marine in Brora if he’s flush. I’ve pm you someone’s contact details as well. Right on the main rd in Golspie. Come back to me if no use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I stayed at the Royal Marine in brora in an apartment and it was really nice. What is a reasonable price? Also how long and how many? Increasingly I am finding AirBNB is the way to go in the Highland especially if over 2 nights and especially if more than 2 people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I worked in the Marine as a student and had my wedding there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just there for one night on two separate dates needing 2 rooms, otherwise I'd definitely recommend AirBNB or the Tripadvisor rental section. Rowan's pm'd me some good tips that I've passed on and I think he's reconsidering the Sutherland Inn. I think he's not poor but the prices at the Royal Marine! He's over for a month so paying £220 a night is well beyond his budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Carnegie Lodge in Tain does rooms, they're around £65-£75 a night for B&B. Not sure what the rooms are like, but the restaurant itself is quite reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 If you are looking for somewhere a bit quirky theres a place thats converted railway carriages into accomodation and its rather cheap.http://www.sleeperzzz.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I live in Tain so hopefully can be of some use.The Carnegie Lodge hotel and Royal hotel are very nice and shouldn't be too bad outwith the worst of the peak times. Everything in Dornoch is likely to become a rip off.Have you tried looking off the beaten track a bit, out towards Bonar Bridge perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Thinking of going to see Bunillidh Thistle v Inverness Athletic in Helmsdale on Saturday, North Caledonian League, as Clachnacuddin is the only Highland League team not playing in the League Cup having got knocked out in the qualifier. Planning on stopping the night, either in Helmsdale or somewhere a bit further south, like Golspie. All I'm really looking for is a decent pub and somewhere to eat. Found a couple of reasonably cheap places to stay in Helmsdale, if anyone has a better suggestion I'm all ears. I'll be driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I once stayed in the Portland hotel in Lybster which was nice and had good food and a bar itself. We went down to Dunbeath and despite looking like the Clansman from the outside the Bay Owl had a brilliant whisky selection and good food too. It would mean you get to see Berriehill Braes which is apparently a tourist attraction but is more a horrific accident waiting to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird place, the hotel barman was a massive racist from the East End of London, took the piss a bit and was slightly worried he'd slit my throat in the middle of the night. Cracking Russian style breakfast in Timespan, an art centre/museum with a cafe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
