Phenomenal views from the terrace and great home comforts. The location was ideal for exploring Ullapool Hill. We were quite a big group and had enough space for us all and the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for meal preparations.

We had to eat out day one after a long journey and only had the house to ourselves at noon day 2. It was really cold when we arrived - the heating is set and canât be changed. One thermostat was at 16*. As the daytime high was 13* it was very uncomfortable and didnât warm up till day 3. The downstairs bathroom flooded into the bedroom and hall because of a blocked drain. To resolve this we cleaned out the blockage and applied Drain-o. Not a pleasant experience. The water is only heated twice a day, to a very high temperature, which is fine when we were only 3 in number. When all 10 arrived it was either scalding hot or cold. Then we had to wait 7 hours for it to start heating up again. We were instructed on how to fix that. We had to turn it on during the day and remember to turn it off at night. Next morning we were all woken up before 8 by a frightening noise from the boiler pipes. It sounded like it was going to explode. As we were now familiar with the boiler works, we tried to solve it but it persisted 30 minutes. Less importantly, basic maintenance hasnât been done. Skirting board in bathroom falling off wall, numerous cracked tiles, old gaping mastic and grout, and a bathroom door that canât close. There isnât effective ventilation to any of the bathrooms - no fans that can be switched on or come on automatically. With 10 people, that can be unpleasant. On the other hand, the beds are very comfortable. We have been offered £50 refund. This was a long planned family reunion. We live all over the world and canât get together regularly. It was such an important occasion marred by the defects of the accommodation.
