Initially we just went in for drinks but decided to have a meal once we saw the menu. For a starter I had goats cheese salad with a tasty dresssing, my partner and friends had various seafood options which were all very good and substantial (they weren't sure how they would cope with their main meals). I had haddock and... More

We booked the Ferry Boat Inn late for the Easter weekend - so didn't manage to get a sea view. We did however get a cozy,clean room on the third floor with a partial view of the harbour(with the option to change rooms to a front facing on the Sunday if we wished) - we were happy with our room...

We walked in off the street and were given a room with a fabulous view for the night prior to a ferry crossing. One of the staff was very friendly although his colleague was the complete opposite. I agree with a previous review on the 'update' of the bar area however the views and location do make up some of... More

Booking by phone was easy, and they took the call on trust, no deposit or card number. Part of a long tour around Scotland, it was our intention to find comfy friendly pub type atmospheres and we found it here. Right on the main drag towards the harbour we parked right outside, were welcomed well and taken to rooms that... More

Having just visited Ullapool on my honeymoon I decided to take my wife to the Ferry Boat Inn boasting it was probably the best pub in Scotland. On our arrival, to my horror we discovered it had been " modernised" / vandalised. This is an object lesson on how to ruin a traditional pub, I appreciate this is only my... More

We arrived for our stay awaiting our ferry the next day, straight away the girl who "greeted" us barely talked and didn't seem capable of lifting her feet when walking which is a personal pet hate she gave the impression of being disinterested. We went straight to our room which was room 8 a twin at the back with a... More

Stayed here overnight in May 2011. Ideal location for touring / sightseeing. Rooms very clean and warm. Equipped with a TV. Seemed a wee bit pricey but it was hard to get accommodation anywhere in Ullapool that weekend. Good Scottish breakfast provided. A bit difficult making arrangement over the telephone as I had to phone back and speak to someone... More

Went twice whilst on a weeks break, and had very nice good value for money food. Very accommodating with kids meals being smaller versions of adult meals. Brilliant location looking out onto loch broom. Will definately go again. More
