The Dornoch Castle Hotel, Scottish Highlands, which is the closest hotel, is situated 20 miles (33 kilometers) from downtown Helmsdale. Or instead, investigate the Burghfield House Hotel, located in Dornoch, which is 20 miles (33 kilometers) outside of the city center.
Located 10 miles (16 kilometers) away from the middle of Helmsdale is the Royal Marine Hotel. About 10 miles (16 kilometers) away you'll find the Sutherland Inn, a great alternative.
Located 55 miles (88 kilometers) south of Helmsdale modern travelers will find Tain, which features the Lochindorb Castle.

Tain is 25 miles (41 kilometers) south of Helmsdale. Travelocity-listed hotels and apartments in Tain include the Shandwick House and The Royal Hotel Tain.
Prior to your departure from Scottish Highlands, you should certainly ensure you catch an exciting game. Make your way to Caledonian Stadium, found to the south of Helmsdale.
