The Dipping Lugger - Ullapool

Fabulous restaurant impeccable service in relaxed dining room Food drinks: some of the best i have eaten in UK. Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury

Wonderful taster menu and wine pairing experience at this small restaurant in Ullapool. We were not staying at the hotel so can't comment on the rooms. Food showcased local seasonal produce, such as scallops and venison. On the night we visited it felt a little like they were understaffed, service was still very friendly, but for the price point would have expected just a little bit more. That said have still given 5-stars as the restaurant and owners have brought a wonderful little eatery to this more remote part of the highlands.

A small but perfectly formed experience. Our room was super comfortable with all the creature comforts, the sweet shop was a joy and the food was outstanding. Robert and the team have created something quite special so heartily recommend you enjoy it as we did. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Great view, Romantic

A hidden gem! On our trip through Scotland we stayed in several good hotels, but this is wonderful! The rooms are impeccable, the dinners and breakfasts are the best of the trip! Unforgettable. The selection and pairing of wines was a great and good surprise. This is a gem that will surely be very famous very soon. Thank you Robert and your team for the excellent attention and all the details. Luis Dini Rooms: 5

We enjoyed dinner in this lovely restaurant in the heart of Ullapool. The historic building has been converted into a dining area in the basement and hotel rooms in the upper floor. We liked the interior design a lot elegant, comfortable, and certainly not stiff at all. The restaurant offers a set dinner menu of eight courses that was modified to pescatarian for me upon prior notice (only one course deviated deer for the meat eaters, lentils and mushrooms for me). Both a wine pairing and a non alcoholic drink pairing are offered, the former for £60, the latter for £40. Unlike in other restaurants the non alcoholic pairing mainly consisted of alcohol free wines, but also a gin&tonic variation and a lemonade were offered. Food was excellent mainly sourced locally, but with creative flavor pairings using ie miso paste or yuzu. Portion sizes were just perfect, as was the timing. Eight courses were served in about three hours, which gave us enough time to enjoy while not keeping us in our chairs for too long. Service was amazing, too friendly, attentive, but never intrusive. This made the atmosphere very relaxed despite the fine dining experience. Clearly a 10/10 for us!
