Independent in Gruinard Island

"We were headed north to Durness, but the snow, dark, and road conditions required us to stop last minute in Ullapool. I made our room reservation sitting at the gas station down the street. Despite us being late and very last minute, the staff welcomed us warmly (thank you, Linda!), in less than a minute we were set up in our room. The accommodations were excellent--clean and modern but set within an older authentic hotel. The breakfast was delicious, and we slept well. Although we only spent <18 hours in Ullapool, we're now eager to go back and learn more about the town. We'll definitely hope to stay at the Caledonian again. "

"A lovely guest house, with a very pleasant and accommodating owner. Our room, although fairly small, was clean and comfortable. We were given access to a lovely sitting room and, as we were the only guests staying at the time, we really appreciated that we could just put our pj's on and relax in front of a roaring log burner. To add to the experience, we were told to help ourselves to some lovely single malt whiskey, which was a lovely touch. Only one of us drinks alcohol and I really enjoyed the 'wee dram'. Breakfast was excellent, complete with home-made jams and marmalade. We opted for a lighter breakfast of eggs, from the owners chickens which were lovely. After days travelling and indulging in the full Scottish breakfast, a simple breakfast was a real treat. We would highly recommend the guest house. Thank you."

"The view was truly outstanding- the room really comfortable and food delicious. The No coffee or marmalade at breakfast and no water in basin bath or loo in the morning which I’m sure they were trying to fix. "
