We had a 1-night stay here on a North Coast 500 road trip. Very comfortable bed, spacious, clean and well-equipped room with a view of the loch, and a peaceful location. Booking and checkin arrangements went smoothly, we were very pleased with our stay.

An exceptional guest house in a superb location! The house is very quiet, set above road level, with fantastic views over Loch Broom. The rooms and bathrooms are refurbished, spacious, spotlessly clean and smell very nice. The beds are large and comfortable. Breakfast is not included; however, cookies, cereal bars, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, as well as a kettle, dishes and a small fridge are provided. There is an exhaustive list of local restaurants in every room, as well, and Tesco is 5 minutes away by car. Ayesha is very kind and helpful, always available for enquiries, and will give you a lot of privacy and space. I could not have chosen a better place for my 6-night stay in Ullapool. I will return.

A well deserved break away and couldn't have asked for anything better. Absolutely loved the room, great shower, comfortable bed, fantastic view. Loved the extra amenities such as the fridge, fan and even some cutlery to eat in the room, which we ended up doing 1 night. Made everything so much easier for us and lovely to spend time there looking out at the scenery. Stayed in many b&bs but this one really suited us as it was so quiet and we had what we needed in the room. Owners gave us space and privacy but could always get a hold of them when needed just a text away. Parking is easy here and the location is so convenient for going into Ullapool or exploring further up north. Will stay here again if we're back in the area. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Spotlessly clean, large room with an amazing view. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Lots of nice touches in the room too such as binoculars for the view, a dram of whiskey to try, and crockery for take away food (if that's your thing). Sadly we never got to meet the hosts (Covid restrictions) but they helped us with a query we had during our stay.
