"This is a must place to stop when in Ullapool. When we arrived we were met with a friendly welcome, with an offer of a tot of whiskey and freshly made short bread. The lounge area is very comfortable with excellent views over the loch and mountains in the distance. Our room was very clean and ideal for our stay, again we had views over the loch. Access to the town was a short walk. The town is lovely with views again over the loch. The beds were comfortable and a good night sleep. The breakfast was very tasty and staff were again so friendly and helpful"
