Good morning all from Dreich Ullapool, nice start hopefully gets better. Well yesterday was interesting
Started off from Thurso in icy conditions which quickly turned to snow on the single-tracked roads heading for Bettyhill ( for anyone that remembers Colin Campbells' local radio this reminds me so much and Radio Auchnagat !) But as usual in Scotland, if you don't like the weather wait 30 minutes and was sitting in the sunshine drinking coffee mid-morning. Not so many stops today as the weather was not great but some pictures were taken of the views and they are on Instagram. Had a lovely walk in Ullapool a wee local G&T which was lovely and required after that long drive, mind you the little car came into its own on the single-tracked roads and my inner Ari Vatanen was starting to come out !! The hotel is I must admit a pleasant surprise I thought it may have been the weakest of the stay but pleasantly surprised, money has been spent by the looks of the fabric and ongoing works and the rooms are lovely and really comfortable, one complaint is the shower was a trickle ! The food last night was excellent scallops and the sea bass both done very well and considering all new staff a week into the season they did well, well done Bespoke Hotels Caledonian, let's hope breakfast lives up.
