    Wifi in room didn't work. Not the end of the world but a little frustrating.

    They accommodated us at short notice when the Ferry Boat Inn cancelled us at 2 days notice. Beautiful room overlooking the Loch.

    The cleanliness of the room, location of hotel and the amazing size of the towels! Breakfast was fine for us but maybe more choice would be better.

    Live music was a bit loud through the open window - though it’s hard to complain about skilled accordion and banjo playing 🙂

    Friendly staff and great location. Continental breakfast was decent- nice coffee a real plus.

    A little expensive for the room type and the continental breakfast but the location next to the ferry terminal and the great view are what makes it more expensive than an equivalent hotel .

    Staff were welcoming, cleanliness, breakfast and location

    The waiter in the breakfast room was a little off hand

    I thought what was on offer was poor. A cooked breakfast as an option would have better

    Unfortunately as the Inn had no chef (for quite some time) dinner and a cooked breakfast was not available to guests with limited options for evening meal in the surrounding area. Better options may be available in the summer months.

    Room was clean and comfortable and staff were welcoming

    Love/Hate at the Almost Ready Arch Inn
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    The staff at check-in in the bar did get us our key, but little else. The wi-fi was non-existent. The waterfront view room looked through a parked car 12 inches from the window. The restaurant is not functioning in April, but the bar is, and next to the 'arch' next was our street level room. Maybe avoid rooms 1 and 2 if that bothers you. The continental breakfast was adequate. Some louder citizens in and out of the building at night. The bar had very recently been painted-some painter's tape still up, and wall lamps lighted only a long wall of painting hangers.

    This is a well positioned place with possible views of the Ullapool surroundings. Beautiful sunsets from the jetty at end of street. The fixtures, lighting, paint was new and the room was spotless. The parking is convenient in front of the building on the street. Breakfast staff was wonderful and cheerful and good croissants.The evening bartender allowed us to eat our take-out in the bar with drinks purchased there.

    The breakfast wasn’t the greatest, could do with more options, at least some scrambled eggs or something warm.

    The room was very clean and the location of the inn is perfect just opposite the sea side. Being Friday night there was some live music - the staff said it will stop before midnight, it did indeed so we could have a proper rest.

    The overpowering cleaning fluid

    I’d like to have given this a great review Trouble is everything would have been perfect had the room not reeked with overpowering disinfectant zoflora! The sheets the pillows all the woodwork seemed to have been sprayed or wiped with it I couldn’t sleep on the pillows and despite a windy gale all night had to leave windows open. Otherwise great facilities Good shower Kettle and biccies Good breakfast
