Caledonian Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location in Ullapool - perfect for our nc500 trip"

Harbour House Bed & Breakfast

8/10 Good

"Great location, a walkable distance to the centre of Ullapool. Staff were lovely, a welcome drink and a homemade short bread a welcome greeting. The rooms were rather small but the breakfast was excellent,"

Creagan Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"A most pleasant place to stay,a great welcome on arrival,with lots of helpful advice about the local area and recommendations of where to eat etc. Our room was spotless and tasteful furnished ,as was the place throughout,and a lovely breakfast cooked to perfection made our experience 100% satisfied. Would definitely return."

Lochview Guest House

8/10 Good

"Check-in was quick and easy. The property is well located, in a quiet location on the edge of Ullapool and easily walkable into town. The communal areas (conservatory, garden) advertised on the site were not accessible to us. We also did not have a loch view. A continental breakfast was mentioned on the listing, but the night before our stay we received an email saying our booking was on a room-only basis. The owners did provide food recommendations in town, however. Could clearly hear the guests in adjoining rooms."

Gairloch Hotel

8/10 Good

"Comfortable, clean hotel with old charm and in a good location."

Foinaven Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"I only stayed for one night - the room was very comfortable, had an en-suite bathroom and kettle with tea/coffee etc. Continental breakfast was brought to my room on a tray and the host was very helpful with directions for a shortcut to walk down into Ullapool. The house is on a quiet street just off the main road. Would recommend."

Highland Rooms - Room Only No Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great guest house. We had a lovely view overlooking some of the harbour. Walking distance into town which is great. AJ met us with a beautiful smile and laughter in her talking. How could you not respond in smile! The bed was extremely comfortable. Has a refrigerator yay!!! Coffee pod machine Yay! Television could be updated, sound quality was poor. The pre check in instructions could be reworked we found them confusing and a little abrupt. This made us feel that the hospitality would be unsettling. It wasn't of course when AJ greeted us with warmth. All the very best AJ and Luke with your young family."
