Spent a couple of nights here with teenage son; very spacious room, useful residents lounge with good range of local books and information. Breakfasts were good, great smoked haddock. Owners very friendly. Only minor gripe - creaking floors if you are in a ground floor room and have guests returning late above you.

My partner, self and couple of friends (all motorcyclists) had the pleasure of staying at this immaculately clean guest house in May 2010 and thoroghly enjoyed it.

Nothing was too much trouble. The couple running the establishment were very accomodating, sherry on arrival, they garaged our motorcycles. Switched on the sauna ready for our return after long days on the bikes and drying room facilities at no extra charge. We could even have washed our bikes had we needed to. Fantastic breakfasts with an extensive choice. Lovely spacious lounge overlooking the loch with helpfull information, maps and books covering the area.

We would definately recommend The Sheiling to others and hope to return soon.

This B&B is located on the shore of Loch Broom and you can reach the centre of Ullapool along the shoreline from The Sheilings back garden. We only found the midges to be a problem!

Our rooms were on the top floor. One room had a shower and the other a bath tub with hand shower attachment. We thought the bathrooms rather dated and for anyone with a mobility problem the room with the bath/hand shower could have been challenging.

The rooms were spacious enough. The television was outdated and reception extremely poor. In fact, the rooms were 1980's ish, and in our opinion require a re-furb. However, the accommodation was very clean.

The breakfasts were substantial and taken in a dining room with superb views over the Loch. At this establishment you order your breakfast the night before. There was also a guest lounge, very spacious, again with great views across the Loch.

There is ample off road parking. We noticed there was a sauna which could be hired for an extra charge.

Most reviewers raise this establishment, and I can see why - the situation, the size of the accommodation, the breakfasts.
BUT for me, I expect more for the money. The biggest problem was the lack of quiet, the floors creaked, the bed creaked and sound travelled through the bedroom walls; being woken at 6.15am by next door's conversation was "unfortunate."
Further although the breakfast was substantial, better quality jams and yogurt would not cost much and would give a better impression. The same for the furnishings -- knotted pine is now somewhat passe; the towels small, but the linen was fine.
All in all, it was not poor, but I have stayed at better for less in the highlands.
