Just back from a short break to Ullapool and stayed in the unique Ceilidh Place and loved it. Loved the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Had a fantastic room overlooking the garden and the resident lounge is just lovely - sit back relax, read, think, breathe and forget the busy life you might lead. The staff, especially the really helpful reception... More

The place was generally very good. Food very good. The accomodation in the bunk rooms over the road though was poor, even though It cost the same as a b&b. There wer e7 of us in two rooms and all of the lads complained that the bunks were uncomfortable or rather the shelves above them too low so that knees... More

Enjoyed both lunch and supper with a friend; good produce; good value; served by young friendly staff, albeit slightly flustered when busy. There is no table service outside, which can be a nuisance for customers with dogs, especially if you have to leave them outside to go and place your order. Service could be more attentive; we had to seek... More

Once the only place to stay or even eat at in the NW Highlands, with a unique touch of culture - fresh local food served in cafe and restaurant by friendly and enthusiastic young staff, well-stocked bar (range of beers and whiskies), new art on the walls AND a decent bookshop, plus cultural events. Mostly still true, but the rooms... More

The only place in Ullapool where I felt I was of less importance than the staff. Which is such a pity because it's a beautiful place with a great bookshop. Just got the impression that it lacked good management. Sat waiting for too long for our order to be taken with 7 members of staff in view available. The bar... More

If you're sick of the ubiquitous 'blossom hill' and wine on tap in certain pubs then come here - you'll get a decent choice at a decent price and can relax in the bar or on the terrace. You'll also get a nice coffee properly prepared and a homemade cake... not to mention great evening entertainment. On the downside what... More

It pains me to say this, but what was once a decent place about 4-5 years ago is now just overpriced, badly maintained and there's a general "arrogance" about they way they treat you as a resident. The hotel itself is very poorly maintained and I would go as far as to say quite dirty in many places. The owners/management... More

Had dinner here. Booked for 8pm and when arrived half the menu had been crossed out. We chose from the limited availability but found it expensive for what we had. The wines were also expensive. The young staff were very pleasant. Hope this is not the best that Ullapool can offer.

Have been here a few times over the years as this has been a favourite stop for the atmosphere and area. However, the hotel is grossly overpriced for the level of service ( very poor) and lack of management. Not so much as a single, how was your room, your meal etc. In fact, I would go as far as...

The Ceilidh Place, a slightly rambling white painted building with a great view is situated on a side street of this pleasant Highland town. The decor is in a somewhat 1960s/70s time warp, but adds to the charm of what is a very good and rather unique small hotel. Individually decorated bedrooms, mercifully free of televisions, all have high quality... More
