Fantastic stay in Ullapool – highly recommended!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay here. The hotel is in a perfect location and we received a very warm welcome at reception. Our room was clean, really confortable, and nice and warm - which was perfect after a long day out. To top it all off, the breakfast was excellent and the entire staff was super friendly and helpful throughout our stay

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. A brilliant place to stay in Ullapool, we would definitely return!

Pros:

If I had to pick one of the best "features" of the hotel, it would, without a doubt, be its staff. Everyone was genuinely kind, friendly and helpful, made me feel at home away from home. The place was busier than I expected - I appreciated the gentle nudge to book my dinner at the hotel's restaurant on the first night, as it got quite packed! The food was great and breakfast, also at the restaurant, was quite plentiful. It was close to (or, more likely, in) the centre of Ullapool, so easy to go about on foot - including a quick climb to Ullapool Hill!

Lovely place, great location
Pros:

The staff were excellent, snd the room was clean and fairly well equipped. The restaurant had a decent range of food, and the quality was fantastic.
The prices were reasonable too, and the Whisky selection available in the bar was stupendous, breakfast was good too.

Cons:

The room was quite pricey for the size, and for 2 bikers trying to dry kit there wasn't really that much space. It wasn't bad by any means, no worse than average.

Pros:

Family room was great, spacious room and a small bedroom off the main room for our child which gave everyone privacy. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Friendly welcoming staff.
