Ullapool
Welcome - Fàilte!
We are situated in the North West Highlands in the fishing village of Ullapool and offer a great base for anyone wishing to experience the village, the spectacular Highlands that surround us or to just sit on the sofa in front of the open fire with a dram.
We have regular live music, theme nights and entertainment, including Monday Night local music sessions, Redtooth National Poker League, Quizzes, live folk/Americana music on Tuesday nights, a pool table and darts!
The Argyll is a small hotel with a restaurant, lounge bar and the only public bar in Ullapool.
The Argyll has a long history in the village, with a name for welcoming visitors and locals alike.
We are placed one road back from the loch with a large private car park and with most of the guest rooms enjoying beautiful views across Loch Broom.
Only a minute’s walk from the centre of the village, we aim to provide a friendly and entertaining place to stop in the Highlands with a well stocked bar, good quality, locally sourced food, lots of vegetarian options, a welcoming, sociable atmosphere and small but comfortable rooms.
We look forward to welcoming you to our hotel. Nigel and Franner.
Accommodation
Whether you are looking for somewhere to spend a cosy weekend looking
out over the loch and snow-capped mountains, an overnight stay whilst
passing through or catching the ferry, somewhere to lodge whilst working
in the area or a base for exploring the Highlands, we can cater for you.
We offer Bed and Breakfast as well as evening meals (seasonal availability) and have a range of different rooms including twin, double, triple and family.
Most rooms have ensuite facilities, TV and some also have DVD. Most of our rooms also have beautiful views across Loch Broom.
We are gradually augmenting our rooms and hope to undertake some redecorating
and re-carpeting for 2010. We are not a boutique or city centre hotel.
We are a small, cosy hotel in the Highlands. All rooms have bookcases
with a selection of books to peruse while you gaze out across the loch
and board games to play. Each room is different. Feel free to give us
a ring or send an email so we can help you decide which room would suit
you best.
You are able to check in from 3pm although rooms are often available earlier than this. Please let us know if you need to access your room before this time. Check out time is 11am.
Laundry
We have an iron and ironing board available for your use if you wish.
Please ask at reception and we will arrange to have these items brought

Laundry on a next day basis. There is a fixed cost for this of £9.50
for up to 6kg of laundry to be washed, dried and folded. Laundry is collected
from reception by 10.30am and is returned by the same time next day. Please
ask at reception if you require further details.

2 Bars in One!
The Argyll Hotel has two bars; the Lounge Bar and the Public Bar.
The Lounge Bar is a cosy bar for real ales, draught beers, lager and cider,
cocktails and a large selection of malt whisky. We have an open fire everyday
apart from the height of Summer which is always welcomed by visitors as
they enter.
The Public Bar, or ‘the Wee Bar’ as it is known, is a traditional
West coast bar and the only public bar in Ullapool. It has recently been
refurbished with comfy bar stools, a fine new cocktail menu and boasts
a large TV with Sky Sports. The open fire makes the atmosphere warm and
welcoming and it is common to find a game of dominos or darts being held
on a winter evening.
Drink
We have a good range of malt whisky in the Lounge Bar.
We also have Tennants and Staropramen, McEwan’s Export, Strongbow, Belhaven Best and Guinness and at least two real ales at any time – one from the local brewery The An Teallach Ale Co. The ales change on a weekly basis but we would be happy to let you know what’s on the way if you phone ahead!
We have a very reasonably priced cocktail menu as well as a wide selection of draught and bottled beers, lots of cider including Scrumpy and Old Rosie ciders on tap and the widest selection of spirits this side of Inverness.
