"What an incredible accommodation the Gairloch Hotel must have been in its day! But like so many hotels of its vintage, its age shows. Ceiling cracks and chipped paint, musty carpets and drapes, sagging cushions in the lobby area—one shouldn’t be surprised to find such things in a moderately priced historic hotel. If you want the Ritz or the Savoy, you have to pay for it. But the Gairloch Hotel still has lots of charm, spacious rooms, updated bathrooms, and the most comfortable bed we slept on...
"Loved the Inn!! The room smelled wonderful!! Which was a significant improvement from other properties! The twin beds were very comfortable. The room was clean and well decorated.
The staff was kind, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb. Also enjoyed a delicious dinner - make sure to book reservations for dinner in advance. Enjoyed hikes to the beach and to the nearby waterfall all easily accessed from the property. Will definitely visit again!!"
"I booked a room described as a 'Double or twin room with sea view'. In the notes of the booking, I requested twin beds but I was allocated a double room.
The man serving me - older gentleman, white hair - would have struggled to care less. No apology, he just blamed Expedia and gave us a room with no view, which wasn't how we wanted to end our trip.
There are signs everywhere telling guests what all the rules are. The hotel feels like an old people's home rather than a holiday destination. ...
"Rummet var stort och rent, väldigt fräscht. Däremot är rummen inte bra isolerade från kylan, så det var väldigt kallt och värmeelementen fungerade inte så bra."
"Beautiful house and grounds, large and excellent room, and the food at the restaurant was superb. We only stayed one night here but wished we had stayed longer!"
"Really good communication. Beautiful room. Really helpful and informative advice on where to eat and visit. The breakfast was amazing. Would highly recommend."
"The best place to be in the centre of Ullapool- but no offers of help to the second floor with our bags - much needed. Didn’t eat in hotel as too many good places around…. Room was too hot - grateful for the fan - our room was much smaller than any others we saw ."
"A very warm welcome when we arrived. The bedroom had character, was clean and comfortable with a nice view of the loch. Ten minutes walk to the centre of Ullapool. Checking in was at set times, booked before arrival, the last time being 6.45pm, which was a little restrictive. Compared with other places to stay this was good value for money."
