This was our first visit to the South Rhins, and it certainly lived up to it's reputation as a secret little corner of Scotland. Tourism is very low key on this peninsula, so if you're looking for peace and tranquility you will not be disappointed. The word "breathtaking" is overused these days but the location of Helensdale, and the views from the front windows most certainly do take your breath away. To be honest, the website photos do not come anywhere near doing the views justice - prepare to be astonished. The property was beautifully presented, and welcoming - we both felt immediately at home, and we were genuinely amazed at the sheer space. All rooms are light, airy and so spacious. If you want to escape the rat-race and truly get away from it all....look no further.
