We booked via Expedia where there was no mention that you can't check in after 9pm. We got there at 9:30pm. The woman working there very rudely informed me that check in time was at 9. I apologized PROFUSELY but she remained ANGRY and rude. She said something about various notices having mentioned the check in time. I told her I had not seen it. I specifically avoided booking any airbnbs because of issues like this, and because this was a "motel" I figured we would be ok to check in so long as it wasn't that late. Like I said, we arrived at 9:30pm, which for any "motel" would be reasonable. But the main point is that this was an honest mistake on my part but she remained rude. After she gave the key to our room, after about 30 seconds, my husband went back to the office to ask a question but she did not open the door. On top of that, she never gave us any wifi information (it was not written somewhere in the room). Instead, there is a sign telling you rules like where to put your shoes, instructions for what to do at checkout, that checkout is at 10am, etc. In other words, just more unfriendliness. The room itself was clean except there was a big spider web with a spider, in the doorway to the bathroom. Also, at certain times of the day the swarms of biting midges attack (a problem in the Highlands at certain hours). We couldn't open the window for that reason and of course no AC or fan, so it was stuffy. Horrible stay.

I was much taken by the general cosiness engendered by both the appointments and the proprietor/trix. The cleanliness of the room will satisfy those of the most fastidious nature and the food, whilst simple, was most excellently prepared and presented. It was a pleasure to discourse in the bar with the proprietor(s) whose range of interests and experiences made for excellent company. It is my true hope that circumstances will lead me to stay again.

Beautiful place to stay

From the moment we checked in we felt at home. The hosts are a lovely couple. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The little pub next to the ge rooms also owned by the motel hosts is gorgeous. The food was also amazing. Just 20 mins outside ullapool. The landscape is beautiful where the property is situated. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for a lovely stay

Lovely little place to stop

Stunning location and room was immaculately clean. We ate at the pub next door which is the same owner as the hotel, food was excellent. The only small criticism (and it didn’t really bother us because it was only a one night stay) is that there only seemed to be two channels we could get on Tv and no WiFi connection in room , so we couldn’t access Netflix

Altnacealgach Motel and Inn

Very beautiful setting. Small property run by a warm, friendly and accommodating couple who run it entirely by themselves. Clean, spacious, simple and modern accommodation in motel-style rooms overlooking the loch with some facilities to self-cater or you can eat in their small Inn next door (we did the latter. It only seats 12 so booking is essential, all in the conservatory with the lovely loch to look at). The menu is limited (understandably) but there are some pub favourites on there, burgers, chilli etc. You can also get a good hot breakfast with various options in the Inn. Quite reasonable compared to other establishments in the area. Located just off the NC500 route. You're staying on a remote Scottish loch so pack your midgie spray!

Pleasant comfortable stay. Hosts accomodated our late arrival & adjusted our pre booked dinner time hassle free as we were running later than expected. Dinner & breakfast were good. The porridge was excellent Good Coffee No wifi in our accomodation area. Poor reception for mobile device too. Good for a complete switch off, but if you are looking to plan ahead in the evening, call family or need to work not ideal. Unless you use the inn Overall a great stay & would return
