I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at a charming seaside restaurant, offering a magnificent view of the harbor. From the moment I entered, the decor captivated me, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The friendly and professional service added a delightful touch to the experience.As for the cuisine, every dish was a true delight. The mushroom soup was rich in flavors, the beef cheek was tender and flavorful, and the dessert provided a sweet and perfect conclusion. The elegant presentation of the dishes reflected meticulous attention to detail.Overall, this lunch exceeded my expectations. The combination of delicious cuisine, a pleasant ambiance, and impeccable service makes it a place I highly recommend for a memorable culinary experience.

I have been to The Dipping Lugger a number of times now and they never fail to amaze me. I dined alone for a belated birthday treat to myself and it was incredible as always. It was a cold night with it being November, but the crackling fire in the dining room kept us all cosy and relaxed. I began my meal with a complimentary glass of champagne which was a wonderful surprise and very welcomed. I chose to have the wine pairing with my meal. Every glass complimented each dish perfectly. Each course that was brought out was perfect and I enjoyed every bite. My favourite dishes of the meal would have to be the Scallop and the Manjari dessert! The flavour combinations are just exceptional and I am always mopping the plate at the end of every course. I am never disappointed when I visit The Dipping Lugger and I always recommend it to my friends and family. It is a fabulous place to go if you are a couple going on a date night, a family having a celebration or like me, just fancy a delicious meal on your own. No matter the occasion, owner Robert and Head Chef David will ensure you have the best experience every time. I can?t wait for my next visit in the very near future!

We stayed one night to celebrate my husband?s 70th. What a delight it was. Welcomed by Helga with such a friendly, warm manner. We loved our spacious room ?Melville- with its super king size bed, large bathroom and dressing room with the view out to Loch Broom and the ferry port. I loved watching the ferry arriving and leaving like a big kid! Dinner was a tasting menu and quite delicious. Thank you chef. And breakfast too. I have never tasted porridge like this!Robert makes the whole experience feel like you?re in a beautiful home as his house guests. I?m thinking about the next opportunity for such a treat!

Such a beautiful meal tonight. An explosion of flavours artistically presented with each course preparing and exciting your palate for the next selection on the menu. A night to be remembered and a night definitely to be repeated. Thanks to all of the staff.

Visited the area for our honeymoon this year, and easily found yet another gem of Scotland. The restaurant was fantastic, had super friendly staff who talked through each meal along with the wine pairing for the course.Had some of the biggest and freshest scallops.Couldn't recommend the place any more to anyone, and would advise people to detour to the area just to visit.Food & drinks: Delicious

We were looking for somewhere special for a celebratory dinner and night away. Until we began our research for this occasion, we hadn't heard of The Dipping Lugger, even though we've visited Ullapool numerous times. As it was situated in one of our favourite parts of the country, we were sold on the location. Every moment of our stay was fabulous from start to finish. We drove away feeling spoilt, relaxed and searching for when there will be another occasion for a return visit! The dinner and accompanying wines made for the perfect meal. Many of the ingredients were local and were cooked to perfection. Breakfast was more of the same. Robert made us feel at home in their house and the personal touches made our stay at The Dipping Lugger the most wonderful experience. Thank you.

Wonderful taster menu and wine pairing experience at this small restaurant in Ullapool. We were not staying at the hotel so can't comment on the rooms.Food showcased local seasonal produce, such as scallops and venison. On the night we visited it felt a little like they were understaffed, service was still very friendly, but for the price point would have expected just a little bit more. That said have still given 5-stars as the restaurant and owners have brought a wonderful little eatery to this more remote part of the highlands.

A hidden gem!On our trip through Scotland we stayed in several good hotels, but this is wonderful! The rooms are impeccable, the dinners and breakfasts are the best of the trip! Unforgettable. The selection and pairing of wines was a great and good surprise. This is a gem that will surely be very famous very soon. Thank you Robert and your team for the excellent attention and all the details.Luis Dini

I was astonished to find this restaurant in Ullapool. It is absolutely marvelous. Every item on the prix fixe menu was 5-star and more. The best part of this menu was the cured Hallibut. It was so good that I asked for and received the recipe from the chef. I can't wait to make it!!

We stayed one night for Dinner B and B. Robert made us very welcome in what is an interesting building, cosy but luxuriously comfortable too. Food was very, very good - a well thought out menu that showcases the best of local ingredients. Wine pairings seemed generally in harmony with the food (apart from one course which to us didn?t seem to work quite as well - but that?s a small point). Breakfast also a highlight. Service and attention was of the highest order. Views on relative cost are always subjective but for a special evening we felt this was very good value.

One night stay with dinner and breakfast. The tasting menu was exceptional, wines married perfectly, and cannot fault the quality and service. Room was immaculate with stunning views over the loch. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.
