We stayed at the Myrtle Bank for two nights and had breakfasts and dinners there…read more It's a lovely hotel with a fantastic sweeping view of the sea loch. When the skies are clear, you can see the Isle of Skye in the distance. They have a solarium lounge where you can enjoy the view and have a drink. The dining room also has a wonderful view of the sea loch. Service is warm and wonderful. Our room was comfortable. It faced the back of the hotel and have an odd window that if one wanted to can climb out and walk on the roof. There was also a large vent next to the window, which dominated the view. The strangest of all was the bathroom sink. The bathroom had been remodeled and everything was updated. However, the sink was about 5 inches wide and 11 inches long. It was rather hard to use and keep water from dripping over the side. The breakfasts here are terrific. They have a nice selection of self-serve yogurt/cereals/fruit compotes and even peanut butter. The cooked breakfast menu also have a nice range of choices. I did try the smoked haddock and poached egg one morning. I was surprised to find a whole fillet of smoked haddock. It was good and I got plenty of protein for my day of hiking. The dinners here were also great. Besides the printed menu, there is a big chalkboard of special starters and mains. Our group had a range of items from the printed menu and the specials and everything was delicious and lovingly made. The dessert menu is also on a big chalkboard. A popular choice was the ice creams and especially the very berry ice cream. The staff were wonderful. Even with the strangeness of my room, I would recommend staying here and definitely eating here.

We ate three nights in the hotel's dining room, and each was a splendid affair. Old-school service (amuse-bouche in the drawing room before "going through" to the dining room, and an ever-changing array of delightful dishes. We enjoyed local beef, venison, salmon, and some delectable desserts. Chef was very warm, and always came out at the end of dinner service to say hello and chat about the meal. There are dozens of activities to participate in courtesy of the hotel and surroundings. We took advantage of the landscape, and did two beautiful hikes along the lochs, and partway up one of the nearby mountains.

Our table of four all had the venison casserole on the first night and loved it. The venison was delicious, but the whole grain mustard in the potato mash surprised us. It was really memorable. Now I can't recall what I ordered the second night, but I know I was not disappointed. I would definitely go again if I was in Ullapool.

4.5 Stars for the bar/drinks (we neither ate nor stayed here)…read more The bartenders were both very friendly. Also, they serve real sized drinks here: pouring 35ml of whiskey (unlike so many other places in the UK that pour a paltry 25ml). Also, they not only had a great selection of whiskeys from which to choose, but they also had some recommended whiskey lists which did not disappoint (the Glen Scotia 15 and the Benromach 15 were both big hits with my tastebuds). I am only deducting 1/2 a star for the ambience, because it is nothing special. But, if you want something nice to sip on, and some friendly bartenders to engage with, make your way to Ceilidh Place.

The hotel staff was lovely and helpful. We were smart enough to have made a dinner reservation before our arrival for our one night stay. Nice pubby dark wood décor and seating spread over a couple of rooms. Many tables occupied on our visit. Dinner menu Scottish leaning as to be expected. It was clear from the outset that they were low on staff with our (very young) server and water coming a good bit after seating. My partner was not real hungry this evening so chose to do a bowl of the soup the day-potato & leek. This came with a wonderful, fresh roll. The roll was pronounced fantastic. We have enjoyed many an excellent bread item in Scotland and this was another example here. They know what they're doing. The soup was very tasty but after a few spoonfulls, it became "boring". My choice was a Filet of Scottish Sea Trout (yes it is different from Salmon, Google it). Served with roasted new potatoes, braised leeks, herb crusted baby carrots, and smoked mussel butter sauce. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, as were the leeks. The carrots were interesting with the herb "crust", and the mussel sauce added an umami depth to the fish. Interestingly, the sauce included a few nicely cooked, out of the shell, mussels. A succulent addition. Loved every bite. For dessert, we chose a Cinnamon Apple Tart with Caramel Whipped Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream. All of this came together for a scrumptious finale to our meal. Especially the whipped cream. Perfect portion size also. Different planning could have put us here for a longer period of time and it would have been wonderful. If you are traveling in this area, try to either stay or eat here. You won't regret it. Highly recommended.

From some…read moreof the rooms and the breakfast hall you have a limited view over the harbour, blocked partly by trees and bushes. Our room was a little dark, with the wallpaper, the carpet and the bed covers all having a dark red colour. The furniture (and the hotel itself btw) have a sort of used character, but not on the bad side. Our room also had the traditional setting of kettle, tea & coffee. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served partly as a buffet, additionals like porridge could be ordered at no extra costs from the staff. WiFi was free but slow and available in the room as well as the lounge and the breakfast hall. There is a self-service bar from which you can get yourself some beer and whisky at a quite reasonable price. Hotel guests get a 10% discount on dinner in the Old Inn restaurant. I liked the GHL, the breakfast and the bar and would book there again next time I'm around.

The first thought I had approaching the DHC was that old real estate mantra, Location, Location,…read moreLocation. Perched along a rocky beach, the DHC boasts perhaps one of the best hotel views I have ever seenfrom the large picture window in my room, I could see the haunting (and haunted?) ruins of Duntulm castle to the left, a few grazing sheep in the foreground, and an impressive monolith in the center of the hotel's bay. Overhead wheeled graceful gannets and seagulls. Our visit was during July, and we were offered a nature-watching boat trip to spot large basking sharks that are supposedly often visible from the hotel. The weather, however, was no cooperative and the small boat would not brave such choppy waters. Despite this, we were not in the least disappointed by our stay. On the sunnier days, we had a clear view of the Outer Hebrides. During the greyer hours, we comforted ourselves by a real peat fire in the sitting room, and were entertained in the newly renovated bar with smooth malts, local beers, and a few friendly billiard games with salty locals. The DCH also has a restaurant, whose menu features both local seafood and traditional Scottish fare, with a gourmet twist provided by a resident chef (whose name I can't recall). The braised scallops were possibly the best I've ever tasted (as a beach girl from Florida, that's staying a lot!) Breakfast was very large and tasty, though I learned that I am not a fan of black pudding. After breakfast, we were full to the point of discomfort, and had to take a hike on the nearby Quirang walk to feel lighter again. I feel compelled to mention the hotel's staff, as they are not only efficient and attentive, but carry a charmingly wry sense of humor that accompanies most of their interactions. Their easy banter between both themselves and with their guests made us feel right at home. The rooms themselves were spacious, clean and fresh-feeling. On the downside, the interior hallways and carpets are a bit worn and old-looking. I overheard the owner (who is himself an amusing character) discussing plans for updating certain parts of the hotel, so the place may look better presently. On the other hand, with the rugged, isolated, and timeless surroundings and the stiff breeze coming off the Minch, perhaps new and modern are not the qualities that would best suit the DHC.
