Charming hotel in a quaint town

We stayed in The Caledonian, a delightful hotel in charming Ullapool. We got a room with a lovely bay window overlooking the town and harbour. The mini-bar was free, which was a very nice touch. Very clean and comfortable. Ullapool has good amenities for the tourist, quaint shops and cafes, a supermarket, a lovely bookshop. Lovely place to stay.

The hotel was clean and the staff were nice. But, the hotel itself and the rooms were like going back to the 80’s. Not at all what I expected considering the price. Nothing was bad but, at the same time nothing would make me want to return.

This property did the job. We needed a quick place to stay overnight before our Ferry to Lewis. The hotel was functional and well kept. It was simple and easy to get to the Ferry. The only thing that wasn't up to our standards was that our shower had incredibly low shower pressure. It was hard to get a good wash and rinse the soap off as the pressure was so light.

The breakfast buffet was exceptional! Many food selections, both hot and cold. The bistro also had amazing food. As for the room, the beds were very comfortable. We found the room cramped, with nowhere to lay luggage. The walls were thin... We could hear people talking and walking in their rooms. We had trouble with the toilet, which kept running, and for some reason this was preventing hot water from getting to the room?? We figured it out, but had terribly low water pressure in the shower. Overall the food was great and our room was so-so.

We stayed for one night during our NC500 trip and had a great experience. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming — a big thank you to the reception team for making us feel so at home. The hotel is also very dog friendly, which was a huge plus for us. Our dog says thank you again for the treats from the lovely lady at reception. The town itself is amazing and full of charm. We even picked up a few lovely NC500 souvenirs from the hotel. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!
