Aultguish Inn

Garve

A lovely inn quite literally in the middle of nowhere.
Great food. A mix of traditional and Romanian dishes.
Room well appointed, clean, tidy.  Great walk in shower.
Friendly staff.
Worth a stop for food or overnight. Plenty of parking. Dog friendly.

Great overnight stay

Another pleasant experience added to our NC500 trip and Scotland exploration! 
Very nice hotel located in the middle of nature in a beautiful location with excellent service, good food and friendly personnel!

A beautiful place to rest and relax!

From the minute we arrived to our farewell we were made to feel welcome. Great staff, wonderful food and a beautifully appointed room. The dogs were made to feel welcome also and it was lovely having them with us enjoying their adventure also. We will be back as due to the weather we didn’t bag the hill we wanted to 🌬️🌬️🌬️ but it is a great excuse for another stay at this lovely hotel

Wonderful dog friendly hotel

Poor value for money, like most places on or around the North Coast 500, and hardly a destination in itself (it’s in the middle of nowhere) but considerably better than expected. 

It’s run by a cheery and characterful young Romanian fellow and his partner.  The food is surprisingly good - a few inexact flavours here and there, and too much reliance on a shake of dried herbs from the spice rack, but a large salmon fillet was cooked to perfection and the home-made bread was tasty too. 

Twin room was tiny but scrupulously clean and the shower had good water pressure. 

Overall not too bad at all.

Better than expected

Quick summary: my review is based on what I expect of a casual B & B.  Very comfortable room.  Spotless housekeeping.  Nice toiletries.  Very good on-site restaurant and pub with a wide menu.  Very friendly, helpful, professional staff.  The place feels freshly renovated.

We used this inn as a base for touring the area for four nights.  We stayed in room C1, which has two very comfortable twin beds pushed together and good pillows.  Frankly, this suited me well— we have a king bed at home, but the DBH (Dear Beloved Husband) tends to yank the covers.  I was happy to have my own duvet.  Loved the Scottish wool tartan throws on the beds - very cozy and felt like the highlands.

Storage area has a number of open shelves and closet.  Rather than bedside tables, a shelf runs the length os the room as a bedside headboard to catch your assorted stuff.

OMG!!  There was a mini fridge in the room!  After three weeks in hotels in Scotland (including a few quire upscale,) this was the only hotel with a little fridge in the room.  While I don’t expect this convenience in every hotel I stay in around the world, it’s nice for an American to have a chilled beverage or leftover pizza at hand.

There is also a sofa in the room.

The bathroom feels freshly renovated: roomy shower; an array of nice boutique toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, body lotion; fresh towels; heated towel rack.

TV and heating work well.  No AC, as is typical in this climate, and we did’t feel the need for it.

Coffee/tea maker, and biscuits in the room.

Complimentary wifi worked mostly well, but better in the public rooms than in our room.  I chalk this up to the highlands factor, more than the hotel.

Spotless housekeeping.

In a perfect world, there would be luggage racks, but none around.

Easy parking out front.

We really enjoyed having a very good restaurant and pub on site.  After long days of driving and hiking around, it was so nice to just mosey over for a very good dinner.  Highly recommend that you dine here, even if you aren’t staying here — on the main road between Inverness and Ullapool.  They also do Sunday roast, but check in advance.

The menu ranges widely, and we were able to sample a fair amount of it.  There are the usual Scottish suspects (starters, soup, salmon, venison, pasta, burgers…) but also some delish Eastern European dishes (cabbage rolls, goulash, meat rolls, soup…,). All was fresh and tasty, with good talent in the kitchen.  (Okay, I prefer a burger without a pretzel bun, but you might ask for a switch.)

We especially loved the stuffed cabbage, but we were happy with all our meals.

They make a very good pizza, and I usually don’t trust places outside of an Italian neighborhood to do a good job on pizza.

Full bar with a nice range of whiskeys, spirits, beers, wines by the bottle and various sizes of glass.  Very reasonable prices.  This is the kind of place that will set your bottle aside for the next day if you don’t finish it.

Breakfast is also good — a buffet of hot and cold items, cereals, juices, coffees, teas, yogurt, etc.

Both the dining room and pub have a cozy in-the-highlands feel, and the pictures of this historic in are interesting.

The innkeepers could not be more helpful, friendly, and professional.

So — highly recommended for a laidback stay.  We’d be happy to return.

Comfortable country-casual B & B.  Very good on-site restaurant.  Great staff.

Very comfortable room, nicely decorated. Excellent service and super food in the evening. Good buffet style breakfast. 
Would definitely . Handy for stopping on way to or from Ullapool ferry to Stornoway

Great stay at Aultguish Inn

Very clean room and very comfortable beds.
All the meals are excellent and well presented. The help yourself breakfast is very good, everything you need.
Very good service off all the staff who are very attentive at all times.


A little gem

Lovely secluded. The window frames a desolate landscape. Excellent restaurant. Salmon, stew. Ecosy and Romanian specialties. A little walk to the lake held by a dam.

Landscape

From the moment we arrived until we left, it was a great stay. We arrived early for checkin but as the weather was terrible we rang the bell and were given access to our room. We were doing the NC500 by motorcycle so had nowhere to hide from the elements having already ridden through rain several times. They had a great drying room for all our gear to be hung up. The staff were fantastic throughout. Dinner was unbelievably good and breakfast was equally good. We would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling through this area.

Great staff, location & amazing food

We happened to be in this restaurant on a Sunday near a dam in the Highlands, and we had lunch with a daily dish that was a stew with potatoes and a carrot and coriander soup and a drink of Scotch beer, all very good in a great home atmosphere, good quality price.
