The Arch Inn enjoys a prime location directly on the water in Ullapool, providing easy access to the harbour front and lovely sea views from some rooms. Guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, some noting the little extras like Nespresso machines and Tunnock's Caramel Wafers. The lively on-site pub with live music is a highlight for many, although some guests have mentioned that noise from the pub can be noticeable.
