This croft is perfectly located for visiting the Assynt (if you drive) and is within easy walking distance of Ullapool, which is the major supply stop for this part of the Highlands. The landlady is very friendly and helpful and the room looks out across the loch to the mountain range beyond. You see plenty of birdlife from here and you can watch the ferry to the Hebrides go up and down the loch several times per day. At night it looks a bit mystical being so large and lit up compared to everything else in this region. Plenty of walks in the area, with Ullapool Hill probably being the most challenging one within in easy walking distance of the croft. The room is full equipped and comes with magic heating which you can control from within the room. As mentioned above, good views across the loch and down across Ullapool town itself, as the croft is high up compared to the town. Beware the crocodile in the hall, he is an admirable beast, who prefers to stay indoors given the cooler climate in this part of the world to where (s)he was created. Look out for other wonderful carvings in the hallway and enjoy your stay in this fantastic part of the Highlands.

Having only a few days in this region this year. ANd the long drive back home at the end of the holiday.

Perched atop the escarpment when driving in from Tongue the location was breathtaking; overlooking the estuary with Ullapool in the distance. Able to look at the Ferry depart down the estuary from Ullapool wharf. The owner had a meagre but satisfying breakfast option menu which she said is what she likes if she were in a BnB. This was great for our needs.

All the restaurants at Ullapool were booked out in advance with only two Fish and Chip shops available for take away. We took our fish and chips back to the accomodation and ate outside watching the sunset and porpoises jumping from the water below. Before we had even left the owner rubbed out my name on the entry bill board and written in the next customer ( 9am on the day of departure).

The generous hospitality of the host Mairi. She generously shared her home with us. The cooked breakfast was promptly served at the appointed time. And what a generous breakfast it was. The location of the home was great not too close to the town of Ullapool. Mairi generously offered to help get our car back on the road when she assisted me to clear the accumulated snow off the windscreen.

The water pressure could have been stronger, also the temperature control could have been better. But this was trivial considering the accepting nature of the owner.

Mairi was a kind and attentive host. The room was spacious and the interior was very cute and the atmosphere was homely. We watched the sunset from the terrace, but the view from our window was equally superb. The brekfast that Mairi served in our room was delicious. We were a bit sad that we only spent one night at Croft No. 8, but it was the perfect place to rest after an exhausting hike. The whole area seems very tranquil and idyllic.

Nothing!

A lovely clean and well appointed room with a very very gorgeously comfortable bed and a beautiful view. The breakfasts were delicious and filling, but I have to give a shout out for the poached eggs on granary toast…. Delicious…Nearly as good as my Mam’s..(Well done Mairi, that’s not a compliment I give lightly). Croft 8 is a place I will be returning to.

A really lovely property, clean and airy with great facilities. Marie was a great host and served a lovely breakfast in our room while looking out over Loch Broom. Great location for Ullapool and the surrounding area. Would definitely go back.

Nothing really, the postcode given by Booking.com takes you further down the road to turn into Croft 17 when coming from the North but Croft No. 8 is really easy to spot.

The property was lovely! The room was really spacious, with a table and chairs by the window, a mini fridge, chair, etc. amazing views as well. The location allowed for the views but 5min drive to Ullapool. The host was super nice. As i was leaving really early, she prepared breakfast for me the night before, all accommodated in my fridge. There was also a lovely area outside that must be amazing to sit with a drink / food and watch the view. I was very late to strive and also this is midge-season! So that makes it tough

Property was perfect.

We knew what to expect - as have stayed at Croft No. 8 in the past. Mairi (host) is friendly and attentive. The room was spacious and airy, with the added bonus of a microwave and mini fridge. Breakfast was freshly prepared each morning, delivered to our room, and was lovely - particularly as it came with the perfect view over Loch Broom! (see attached photo).

The view from No 8 is breathtaking, we loved sitting at the breakfast table , drinking it in. The room is light and airy and the bed very comfortable. The shower room was spotless with a good shower. Breakfast was brought to our rooms by our lovely, friendly host Mairi and it was delicious and set us up for the day.

We found the curtains were too thin to keep any light out so we woke very early, around 4.30. Blackout linings or a black out blind would've been a welcome addition. The towels were a bit small....

Fantastic place just outside Ullapool, with stunning views over the loch. Room was very spacious and well equipped, comfortable bed and good shower. The host Mairi was very welcoming and more than happy to give recommendations. All in all a great little stopover on my NC500 trip.

Nothing, but other visitors should be aware its a short drive into Ullapool or a 30 minute walk.
