    comfortable stay with beautiful views

    The room had stunning sea views that added charm to our stay. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, providing a restful night after a long journey.

    The location above the bar meant some noise at night.

    cozy atmosphere

    Spent 2 nights in a Standard Twin Room. The location on the harbour was stunning, and the cozy atmosphere made for a relaxing stay. Loved the views of the water! The room was clean and had great furniture.

    Family with children a bit let down

    Beautiful location overlooking Loch Broom on a beautiful day and the staff were friendly and seemed to care

    It wasn't exactly cheap but acceptable considering the view

    comfortable room
    great location
    disappointing breakfast
    overwhelmed staff
    overpriced meals

    The room was clean and comfortable, making it a suitable choice for one night on a scenic road trip. The location near the waterfront is fantastic, providing easy access to nearby attractions. breakfast was disappointing and overpriced, particularly considering the cost of the stay. Staff appeared overwhelmed, though friendly, highlighting a need for better service during busy times.

    The waterfront location offers stunning views over the loch that you won't forget. The room size is decent, providing ample drawer space for your stuff and a cozy spot to kick back after a day's adventures.

    The window frames are rotting, letting in a draft that makes for an uncomfortable night. The bathroom feels like a relic from a stashed caravan with a toilet that’s stuck in the 70s—don't expect a quick flush. you might as well time travel while you wait. There's also quite a bit of noise from the bar below, which can ruin the peaceful vibe you’re looking for. Lastly, the decor feels tired with threadbare carpets and the general air of stale beer lingering in the halls, which might not sit well with everyone.

    impressive food
    fun quiz night
    lovely staff
    tricky shower

    Had a fantastic stay with my friends! We enjoyed the fun quiz night every Tuesday and explored the stunning local scenery. The food was impressive, and the staff were lovely, making our visit even better. Just a heads up, the shower in our bathroom was a bit tricky to adjust, but it didn’t ruin the experience!

    The shower in our room was a bit hard to control, with fluctuating temperatures, which was annoying.

    warm atmosphere
    friendly service
    delightful seafood
    overpriced drinks
    smell of stale beer

    The atmosphere was warm and cheery, perfect for a cozy drink after a long day exploring. The bar lady was friendly, making it feel like home. Plus, I stumbled upon some delightful local seafood at nearby spots—definitely a culinary treasure!

    I can't ignore the slightly overpriced drinks and the missing breakfast—especially for a room costing near 180 quid. The insistent smell of stale beer and the general upkeep left something to be desired.

    Request a room away from the bar to ensure a peaceful night's sleep, particularly during live music events.

    Stunning views and delicious seafood

    I had a fantastic stay with stunning views of Loch Broom and enjoyed some of the freshest seafood I have ever tasted. the atmosphere was lively and the staff were incredibly friendly. One drawback was the fluctuating temperature of the shower, which could be inconvenient at times.

    great views of the seafront and nearby attractions await you

    We enjoyed the great views of the seafront while spending time in the bar, which was really popular, and it was just a few steps away from the Ullapool Museum, making it perfect for a casual stroll to learn local history.
