The Dipping Lugger Standing majestically on the shore of Loch Broom, facing the mountains, The Dipping Lugger offers a unique Highland experience.

Our three luxurious, comfortable and unique rooms all acknowledge the part the building has played in the evolution of the village of Ullapool and our dining room showcases some of the finest ingredients found all around us, complemented perfectly by our carefully curated drinks list.

It’s all about the view.

Our MacInnes room was inspired by Jock & Kathy MacInnes, who bought the property in 1952 to open one of the first B&Bs in Ullapool. Opulent decor mingled with stunning uninterrupted views over Loch Broom and The Fannichs, MacInnes is the perfect perch for watching the world go by.

It’s all in the little touches.

Our Telford room is named after one of the world’s most famous engineers, Thomas Telford, who rebuilt the residence where The Dipping Lugger now stands in 1829. With rich colours and bold patterns reflecting the fiery sunsets over the Scoraig Peninsula, Telford offers a perfect blend of comfort and luxury, ideal for a relaxing getaway.

It’s all in the details.

Our Melville room was inspired by the colourful character Robert Melville, who built the original dwelling where The Dipping Lugger now stands. Charming design meets sumptuous surroundings, with a breathtaking view over Loch Broom and The Fannichs. Decidedly a space to while away the time this cosy season.
