29th September 2021 = 45 miles travelled
We have the cottage for two more nights but have booked a hotel in Ullapool for the next two night instead. It means we can do a bit more sight seeing without spending best part of an hour on the little roads before we start and will take 1 1/2 hours of our journey home on Friday.
This morning we did most of the packing ready to move on, them went into Drumbeg to get/have lunch at the cafe there only to find it was closed, season already over! Instead we picked up some filled rolls from the local shop and took them back to the cottage to have while watching some TV.
Just after we got to the end of the twist loop road and back onto the main road, eager eyed Gavin spotted some dear (I was driving), so I pulled over to get a couple of photo’s of them.
It was a lovely sunny day making for a nice drive down to Ullapool, once again we had to pass Ardvreck Castle.
Found the hotel in Ullapool easily and parked around the back, not too impressed with the hotel, I know it was only a 2* but expected more for the money, it is very tired and run down with really tiny rooms, have to stay the staff are lovely though and very helpful. It could be a great hotel with a little work and money spent on it. We got fish and chips from the chip shop for dinner tonight, which we ate in the hotel lobby, I went down to the loch front for a look and a few photographs while Gavin waiting for our order.
After dinner we watch some TV in our hotel room, we had a view out over Loch Broom and I got to see the Calmac ferry leave on its way to Stornoway.
