    We liked the feel of it - really welcoming atmosphere & very attentive staff. Position of the hotel was super - great views of the water. We booked an upgrade room and it was perfect. We also had another room - a double for our daughter, and this also was perfect. After initial mix up with our booking, the staff did everything they could to sort it out - nothing was a problem to them. We found this very reassuring and certainly cannot thank them enough for what they did. The hotel had an air of being a truly family-run hotel.

    Our room overlooked the kitchen and when we arrived the chef had extremely loud music blaring out. That was not relaxing!

    Location was excellent at one end of Ullapool so you could walk the length of the small town easily. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel, both of which were very tasty and excellent service

    A lovely comfortable hotel but not great for vegetarians.

    We had to wait 40 minutes for our main course to arrive and then my wife’s vegetarian risotto was a ‘ tasteless stodge ‘ We told the waitress who said she had told the chef but there was no offer to take this off the bill. I raised this the following morning when I went to pay the bill and to challenge the charge only to be told the hotel had taken the charge on my card and there was nothing that could be done. I was advised that I should have refused to pay for the risotto the previous evening. On further reflection had they wanted to the hotel could always credit the charge for the risotto to my card.

    There was plenty of parking. Check in was quick with a friendly and helpful receptionist. We had a King room with loch views, a lovely comfortable room as it should be for the price.

    It would be beneficial to have a lift as it was quite a struggle up a fair few stairs and then up a long corridor to our rooms. The view out of the windows was very poor.

    The location was brilliant just a short walk from the centre of Ullapool. All the food was excellent and the hotel was clean and comfortable.

    Would have preferred a room with a view not looking directly into another room.

    The hotel suited our needs because we did not want to face the journey home to Scottish Borders after getting off the ferry.

    Close to Ullapool. 5 minutes to centre. Breakfasts good. Dinner choice for veggies limited but enjoyed butternut and sage risotto. Views over bay from front and dining room. Many guests sat outside large public bar on the front. Popular. Staff all friendly and helpful. Huge twin room.

    Service in the restaurant was a bit slow, that was okay for dinner but the breakfast service needs to be a bit faster. The breakfast is expensive at £15 per head. There was no fruit salad only a choice of juices and the continental consisted of 2 types of meat and cheese and some croissants. The cooked breakfast was fine, but it’s not worth the £15pp

    The hotel has recently been refurbished. The rooms were clean and the staff, who had only been there a few weeks were excellent. Could not do enough for you.
