Harbourside historic hotel on the North Coast 500 in Ullapool
Location and History
The Caledonian Hotel overlooks Ullapool harbour and the fishing boats on Loch Broom. The hotel is in the centre of Ullapool, a 3-minute walk from the ferry terminal to Stornoway, and was built in the early 1900s as one of Ullapool's oldest hotels. Roads from Ullapool allow access to Inverewe Gardens, Loch Maree, Lochnivar, Gairloch, and Corrieshalloch Gorge, and the hotel sits on the North Coast 500.
Dining and Entertainment
The hotel's restaurant serves traditional Scottish dishes and offers special diet menus. Caleys Bistro offers evening meals, and the hotel bar serves wine and champagne. Live entertainment nights take place at the hotel, and the on-site cafe opens at 9am for a breakfast roll and coffee.
Rooms and Pets
The hotel has family rooms, and its pet-friendly policy accepts dogs for £10 per dog per night. Room options include televisions and complimentary toiletries, with some rooms overlooking Ullapool and Loch Broom. Free parking sits at the rear of the hotel, and upgraded rooms include a free mini-bar.
