Top choice in Ullapool
This hotel is a celebration of Scottish culture: we’re talking literature and traditional music, not tartan and Nessie dolls. Rooms go for character over modernity; instead of TVs they come with a selection of books chosen by Scottish literati, plus eclectic artwork and cosy touches. The sumptuous lounge has sofas, chaise longues and an honesty bar. There's a bookshop here, too.
It's not luxurious but it's one of the Highlands' more unusual and delightful places to stay.
