About

From its spectacular seafront location on the NC500, Ullapool Youth Hostel offers wonderful, ever-changing views over Loch Broom and the Beinn Dearg mountain range.

Perfect for groups, families and individual travellers, this warm and welcoming hostel offers guests a variety of room types, all of which can be booked as private rooms. Only one of the rooms is en-suite but there are ample shower and washroom facilities.

Guests can opt for wee breakfast served in the dining room with views over the harbour, or take advantage of the well-equipped self-catering kitchen. Relax with a craft beer or glass of wine in one of the hostel’s comfortable lounges, both with views over the loch. WiFi access is free for all guests and other facilities include an excellent laundry and drying room and cycle storage for up to 15 bikes.

The hostel is within easy reach of local shops, bars and fine restaurants serving fresh local produce.

The bus station with connections to Inverness is only 300m away and you can catch a boat to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis from the nearby ferry terminal.

Book now and discover one of the prettiest fishing villages in the Highlands.

What an amazing experience. Situated in the middle of the town with a 10-million dollar view overlooking the water. The staff were exceptional. Thank you.

The hostel is located right at the waterfront. Easy to reach everything (bars, pubs, supermarket) and the vibe in town is really laid back and relaxing.You can feel that Ullapool has a soul and wee engaged community. The hostel was super clean and got everything that you need in kitchen, bathrooms, chill area. The receptionist working was genuinely warm-hearted, super friendly. He gave the best local tips and every single one was spot on. You could tell he really cares about the guests
