Spectacular waterfront location with views of Loch Broom and Beinn Dearg mountain range.

Well-equipped self-catering kitchen and drying room for outdoor enthusiasts.

Licensed lounge areas serving local craft beers and wine.

Proximity to ferry terminal for trips to the Isle of Lewis.

Cons

Limited daytime access between 10:00 and 16:30.

Only one private room has an en-suite bathroom.

“Its harbour views and prime spot on Ullapool's main street make it a winner, further enhanced by spotless, spacious interiors. I appreciated the warm welcome from staff and the well-equipped kitchen; the locked bike storage is another thoughtful touch. It's a great base for exploring the area.”
