Ullapool SYHA

Ullapool


You’ve got to hand it to the SYHA – it's chosen some very sweet locations for its hostels. This one is right in the heart of town on the pretty waterfront; some rooms have harbour views and the busy dining area and little lounge are also good spots for contemplating the water.
