Ferry Boat Inn Restaurant in Highland

Dinner was delicious. The fish pie was amazing and the veggie burger was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had a nice time. Great views over the Loch.

This restaurant/pub has a prime view over the harbour. Was lovely to see the lights come on which are set into the sea wall, at dusk. Seems to be a popular place, with a buzzing atmosphere. Staff very kind and friendly - I had a wee chat with one as we were leaving and she wished me a good journey at the end of our holiday and to "Haste ye back!" We had a lovely time enjoying the view and the last dinner of our holiday - thank you!

Had evening meals here while staying at the inn, food and service was excellent, friendly helpful staff. Also Continental breakfast free for people staying there.

Fabulous food, beer and evening at the FBI. We were looked after by Karen, who was friendly and informative. Great night

Busy and worth it! Great food face paced but well worth the wait, fish pie is among the best I’ve tasted and the mackerel salad was delicious, lemon posset and Sticky toffee fudge finish off a great meal in Ullapool, unless staying at the hotel they will not take reservations but plenty tables outside to wait with a drink.

Walked in and after a brief look walked out. It didn't look inviting and the person behind the bar didn't even raise her eyes as we walked in. Sometimes you just get the feeling it's not worth it.

Lo elegimos por su ubicación y porque nos llamó la atención a la entrada del pueblo pesquero de Ullapop frente al puerto. Pequeño pero coqueto, ricas y variadas cervezas. Para comer pedimos mejillones que aunque estaban buenos son muy pequeños comparados con los que estamos acostumbrados en nuestras costas pero buenos de sabor. Para comer fish and ship bien cocinado y acompañado de ensalada . Nos gustó el ambiente con música pop de fondo británica muy agradable

We had a really good lunch of seafood soup and crab soufflé, even though the crab was only on evening meal menu. It would have been even nicer if bread was served with soufflé and the salad had a dressing. It was very busy but staff were helpful and efficient. Recently redecorated and better loos!

Lovely chilled Sunday afternoon here , food was amazing . I had the fish which was cooked to perfection and also served with homemade chips (delicious). hubby had the venison burger and said it was the best he's tasted . Lovely staff and very attentive and also the lady ( London accent ) at the bar made us feel really welcome . Such a homely place with character . I would highly recommend 👌

Gets my 5* vote for simple reasons: they try to fit you in if they can (all the good ones do!), the food is fine, the beer too and the people that run it clearly take pride in doing it right. Yup, it's really not complicated, but when it works, and someone's hard work pays off.

We only had a couple of beers here, but it is a good place to do so. The service and atmosphere were good and the view of the harbor is great.

Total dump with rude bar staff. Tables, seats and decor all need a refresh. The burger someone was having in the table next to us looked like a bird eye special. Don’t be fooled by the cosy gallery pictures. It is cold, damp, smelly and the staff just don’t really seem to like you being here.

Lovely food in a small unassuming Inn. My wife grew up by the sea and is very familiar with seafood. She declared her hake dish to be the best she had ever eaten anywhere. The person cooking the meals clearly knows exactly what they are doing. The menu had many options for those with particular food preferences, allergies and intolerances. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian alternatives were clearly labelled for many of the listed dishes which was nice to see. Would definitely eat here again when in Ullapool.

Pub was very busy when we arrived, landlady was working hard behind the bar. We checked in to our room which was on the front with a view of the harbour & hills beyond. Decor was a little wacky, rather dark, but although dated was very clean & comfortable. We noticed a sign telling us about fish specials which we wanted to try - especially Ullapool langoustines. When we returned to the bar and asked about the specials, we were told very curtly 'no specials'. We decided that we would eat elsewhere that night, so a sale was lost. Breakfast was very nice, but served by a rather surly young lady, who we felt wanted to be anywhere else but serving breakfasts.

Building in desperate need of major refurbishment. Bar area cold as wooden frames are rotten in places and let in the rain! Overwhelming stench of urine from the male toilet is deeply unpleasant when you are eating. Room adequate but no hanging area for clothes and beds saggy. Food ok but did not match the advertised fayre. Deeply disappointing experience for our wedding anniversary.

I stayed here for one night on the 6th of September. What rip off, over £136 for a noisy room. £50 would be more acceptable. The place is dump, a peeling facade, scruffy bar area and internal decor in need of a massive update. The actual room was ok, but bloody noisy. It makes you wonder what the owners did during lock down? They certainly didn't bother with any decorating. It's a shame because, the staff are lovely but, the building is a disgrace. And for the price, a total tip off! Avoid at all cost.

Went into the gents whilst using the bar facilities. To say it was disgusting is an understatement. The toilet stank of urine & the floor was soaking wet. I dread to think what was in this bucket under the urinal.

As I am not a fussy eater, this is the first time I've had the urge to review a restaurant. Avoid this place as the food is terrible. Hake with herbs was salty to the extent of being inedible. Sent back for a new one only to get a nearly equally salty meal. Smoked salmon salad was also far too salty, but at least edible. Smoked mackerel salad with potato had nearly no mackerel and was basically just potato. Manager was not apologetic whatsoever.

This is the most revolting pub we’ve been to in 40 years. We went in for a drink and thankfully got a seat outside as the smell of urine was overpowering. The toilets are frankly disgusting with the floor flooded with urine. Why the Health and Safety people haven’t closed this place down is a mystery.

As a Scot I was embarrassed at the state of this place, in a prime position overlooking a fantastic view. They really are taking the p*ss which is appropriate as the whole place smells of urine. The tourist board and the licensing authority need to do their job and pay this hovel a visit.

Went in late, got a great welcome and a table. Lovely funny waitress. Reasonably priced. Warm and cozy. Nothing to look at from the outside but food was really enjoyable, well cooked and presented. Nice wine. We had fish and chips, Herb crusted Hake with lovely, smashed potatoes and perfectly cooked veg. Really enjoyed the food, would definitely return.

Very disappointed, restaurant not open, bar food very poor, fish and chips, no better than Mac Donalds standard, fish small, chips perhaps cooked an hour earlier and kept warm, room, well it was clean but decor terrible, really dated, then have the cheek to charge an additional fifteen pounds for the dog, only two staff on service wasn't the best, and food and room were far too expensive, but I suppose being where it is located, they have a monopoly, next time I will look further a field, but the Ferry Boat Inn won't being having any more of my money...Very disappointed

Worst £170 spent! Rooms are small, dated, unclean and smelly. Very noisy plumbing, doors slamming all night. Not worth £50 never mind £170, only plus was the bedding and towels were clean. Do not recommend this place at all!!!’

Worst place ever !!!! £181 for 1 night !!!!! Out dated restaurant stunk off urine !!!!! Room were so dated, like something out of a charity shop!!!! Needs pulled down and start again !!!!

Entered the dining room. Ignored initially. Asked a waitress if there was space for 2. Told ,"if you see a space then there's space" Sat down, to be ignored. Partner went to male toilets to find an overpowering smell of urine and a bucket under the urinal which clearly wasn't helping matters as he slopped through a very wet floor. Heaven help the infection peoples shoes are carrying through out the premises. ON THIS NOTE, WE LEFT!

We enjoyed an evenng meal here with the pub's very lovely views out over the harbour. The fish pie was delicious and the veggie burger good too. Service was very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely come to this place again.

We were staying overnight in Ullapool for my birthday. My wife has a gluten free diet and we decided to go here for dinner. I can recommend the Venison burger and my wife recommends the GF Cajun Chicken!. Beer was good, Gaelic coffee was good,...

This place is an utter disgrace it’s absolutely filthy I’m actually debating going to trading standards. This place should not be open how they can actually offer rooms to people is beyond me.

Not worth going in, let alone going back to. cold atmosphere, cold room, no choices of beer's but overcharged for their cheap brew. food expensive so we left for fish n chips up the road. Found a better Pub up the road too

Gets very busy as caters for ferry boat passengers. Can book tables or just turn up and wait. Bar and restaurant dining available. Good selection of traditional food with a seafood twist. A surprisingly good selection of real ales (for a Scottish pub). Friendly staff...

After arriving in Ullapool on a Early Saturday evening my husband & I became slightly concerned at the lack of availability in the local eateries.. Reading reviews I was not expecting the best as this was not the best place we could get booked into…....

We chose this place because we were late in arriving and they were still serving. The bar had atmosphere but the side room where we first sat had zero. Luckily we were able to move to a table in the bar. The food was tasty...

Probably the only restaurant to serve until 9pm in Ullapool which suited our preferences better. Service was friendly and efficient. We had the oysters, soup, crab soufflé and fish pie all of which were comforting and delicious. The atmosphere was pub-like which we found relaxing....

Had excellent food here and was worth the wait everything fresh and hot staff all pleasant but as everywhere very busy Toilets clean and tidy

We visited whilst stopping in Ullapool on our NC500 road trip. All the other restaurants and cafes were very over priced and this was a welcoming and reasonably priced restaurant. We didn’t feel we were being over charged just because we were in Ullapool. Very...

Traditional pub in the harbour of Ullapool. We had a fantastic venison burger and very fresh langoustine. Really excellent!

Went in just for a drink and was surprised by the small selection on offer in particular their soft drinks, coke, lemonade and that was about it. Drinks were also expensive as was the food, the food which we saw did however look really good...

No atmosphere in this very small pub. Very shabby decor & needs a complete refurb. Was freezing cold, due to it being on the seafront and the door being propped open. Abrupt, disengaged & disinterested man behind the bar. Expensive beyond belief; nearly £7 for...

Ottimo locale per rilassarsi , bere della buona birra e mangiare dei gradevoli piatti. Personale gentile e premuroso. La varietà...

Very nice people. Even the kitchen was closed we got the dinner. Mussels and caesar salat was great. If you look something authentic, go there!

Wandered along here as the Arch Inn was closed for a wedding and wanted a view of the loch with a pint. The lager smelt a bit weird - like sick - and after drinking some realised there was mouldy bits on the glass and...

we found the prices expensive and worse than that I was served a pint of ale in a Guinness glass, we went to another pub after just one drink

My self and 7 friends dropped in here for just a couple of beers before we went back to my parents holiday home in the area. We walked to the bar and asked if we could sit down, he said we don’t have room for...

Dirty disgusting place that stinks of urine , rude and unhelpful staff , barman needs a lesson in customer service , asked for some vinegar from the young girl serving “ er yeah “ was her reply , dogs roaming the place while you eat...

We popped in just before 6 and were very fortunate to get a table for dinner in a busy little pub in a very busy little town. We had the Oysters to start (fresh from Inverness) and Langoustines that were straight from a boat in...

On arrival we were just given the key and told our room was upstairs, the room was very dated and slightly shabby, there was an arm chair in the room that had head sweat marks on it which for me and my wife.made the only...

We enjoyed a drink here , the lady serving us was very friendly in spite of being rushed off her feet . The table for drinks was close to a number of others but thankfully we had the pleasant loch view . It felt rather...

Pub is a bit old and worn in places but beer and food were fine for what wee needed on a wet afternoon un Ullapool. Barman said he would try and accommodate us at night for food had we wanted which was good as everywhere...

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday. Cappuccinos excellent in size and quality. Paninis acceptable. Service OK. But both ant- bac dispensers were empty on the way in, so I informed the sullen man standing at the bar next to the waitress. He ignored...

Called in at the Ferry Boat at about 5pm hoping to be able to get a table to eat after the place we’d booked let us down. The woman running the FB offered us a table that was booked for 8 o’clock saying we’d need...

Delicious venison burger and fish pie with friendly service --the ambience of the dining area was somewhat tired and gave the impression of a drinking only establishment but actually the food was delicious

My husband and I called in for a few drinks and something to eat. the bar was quiet on arrival .we please we managed to get a window seat with great views of the harbour however we notice most tables were reserved for later ,we...

My wife and I had dinner here while travelling the NC500. Looking at the wildly varied reviews, a few things are important to know. It’s a popular place for dinner, and Ullapool is a popular stop on the NC500, but having only a dozen or...

Great spot in Ullapool but miserable staff and, for goodness sake, plastic "glasses" if you want to drink outside. What am I, a 5 year old? Go to the Arch about 100m down the street to see how a welcoming pub should be run.

I was recommended the ferry boat inn by another restaurant that was closed for lunch but the recommendation must have been tongue in cheek! We sat down and were presented with grubby laminated menus. I asked what fresh seafood was on today which seemed to...

Crowd of us were enjoying a drink outside in the sun when it turned cold, so we took our drinks inside. We went to a separate area of the bar (used to be the restaurant dining area) we were followed through by the bald headed...

ottimo ristorante per immergersi nella cucina scozzese ! Personale molto gentile e bella l'atmosfera rilassata. Piatti abbondanti. Bella vista della...

Called in for an impromptu bite to eat and very glad w e did. Basic, but what food. Soup of the day, carrot and ginger and the Seafood soup, both excellent! If in Ullapool, check this place out. Popular and who probably need to book...

Avoid like the plague. The food was appalling and the place was dirty. The menu was nothing like that on the website. My wife could see into the food prep area so let’s hope the environmental health don’t visit. She had something that was supposed...

I booked this on the strength of the sample menu online, whose prices led me to believe the place would be quite upmarket, so I was quite surprised to walk into a small, shabby pub. I was then enormously disappointed to find a much reduced...

Don’t let the mediocre reviews fool you - eat here! Atmosphere - a proper old fashioned bar serving up awesome food in a proper old fashioned fishing village The fish soup was sublime as was the ham hock terrine, Our son had the fish &...

Proper pub food experience. But excellent quality cooking of classics. Service was timely and friendly and atmosphere was typical Scottish pub.

Stayed next door at small flat. Called in for a beer and an evening meal. Good friendly service. Good sea views. Thanks for a lovely meal.

We visited the Ferry Inn with a view to having a few drinks one early evening. We walked into the bar where 90% of the tables were empty (I saw one with a reserved sign on it). We went to order drinks but we were...

We went to the restaurant for dinner but left before eating. The first hand sanitizer at the entrance wasn't working and the second one further into the bar/restauarnt wasn't either. We finally found hand sanitizer at the bar. All of the other restaurants we visited...

Lovely chilled atmosphere and very good food. Sat chatting with staff and owner and other customers joined in, it just feels very friendly. Good menu and reasonable range of drinks. Overlooks harbour area.

Dirty and uncomfortable. A breading place for Covid. Mould on all window sills, carpets disgusting. Unfinished decoration. Condensation on all windows. Well overpriced. Locals don’t wear masks within the bar. However the breakfast in the Argyle Hotel served for the Ferry Boat was excellent. For...

Visited this place today with the intention of having an evening meal, what a grubby little pub even the toilets were in the same room for eating and drinking, had one drink and we left, never again

We visited the FBI in August. It was so expensive and, I understand it was high season but, nothing we found there could justify such a high cost. First of all, they should learn what hospitality means. We stayed there for one night as the...

I sincerely wish I had read the reviews on Tripadvisor before my wife and I went to this restaurant. I, like many other people had looked at their menu online - what was on offer when we got there bore no resemblance to their online...

Stayed in the FBI on a Saturday evening due to our ferry being cancelled (bad weather) and ate in the dining room as we didn't want to venture out on a wet and windy evening. We had 3 rooms in total and we all ate...

Both hand sanitizer machines at the restaurant were not working and the staff didn’t seem to care. I had to hunt for one small bottle on the bar to use. Tables were also very close together. I was very concerned that if staff were not...

Tasty food, menu exactly as advertised on internet, seafood fresh and delicious, vegetarian beetroot burger home made and really good. Chips crispy and fresh. Fab, speedy service. Really enjoyed our visit.

Friendly covid safe welcome. Menu focuses on local fish. Our haddock and chips was delicious. Good service. Easy access clean toilets.

I decided to try this place as it seemed nice I looked on there Website at the menu it looked good. Went to the restaurant and was let down as it was a different menu altogether with very little choice and was very expensive for...

We had booked this quite some time before we actually arrived in Ullapool and when we got there it was quite busy. As we had arrived early we got a drink from the bar and sat outside. First impressions after having gotten the drinks were...

Booked in for this place months ago. Table was opposite the female toilets. Not ideal. Food was ok. Nothing special. But the staff were unbelievably rude, purposefully ignoring customers and not at all interested in providing a good dining experience. I wouldn’t recommend.

Booked this place 3 months earlier having looked at the menu online. On arrival we were given a menu that was different to the one currently being shown online. I asked for the seafood platter as shown online to be told they didn’t have it...

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. We booked this place a month earlier after viewing the menu online. We walked into the place and were seated in the bar not the restaurant and were directly in front of the men's toilet which stank! We ordered...

Fab welcome with good food lots to choose from at reasonable prices Staff warm and friendly and super dog friendly with a bowl of fresh water brought to our table seconds after sitting down with our dog

Although we had booked, we were given a table right by the fire exit, which it turns out was used as the main entrance and exit to get in and out of the bar. I asked for a different table and was advised there was...

Called in to Ferry Boat Inn for lunch as we were working in the area. Pub area dated and very cold. Doors open presumably COVID measures. Staff not very interested. Ordered 1 starter and 2 mains. Soup was ok, but didn’t have an awful lot...

Are they having a laugh ? Where do I start ? LOOS : absolutely dire. one door had no lock, the other had flush problems ( ladies cubicles ). Wash area filthy with discarded tissues cascading on to floor from a large open waste bin....

Read reviews on real ale pubs before my visit, this one was not really rated. Could not be further from the truth as this is the only real ale pub in Ullapool offering 3 real ales the opposition only managing 1 each. Well done the...

Oh dear. Whatever happened to the delightful little restaurant of a few years ago? That is what I was expecting but instead got a table in a bar decorated and (un)heated like a barn. However the mussels were tasty and the sticky carrot cake gorgeously...

Underwhelmed. Fish pie OK but not browned on top. Chips with other main slightly underdone. Lack of garnishes and finesse. Expensive for offering.

We pre booked for dinner. The food was ok. My main issue is the position of the toilets. They are right in the main dining area. I know, that’s as it is as this is a very old building. However the smell from the gents...

We were staying in Ullapool and unfortunately our hotel was not doing food the night of our stay. This was the only place we could get a table. We each ordered a starter, muscles and the crab risotto which were both quite nice. Then we...

We eat here as it was only place we could get into. We both got chicken burgers which were nothing special. The restaurant was pretty smelly as the toilet doors opening and closing make it stink. I think the food was incredibly overpriced for Wetherspoons...

Fantastic fish and chips. Also had the seafood fish stew. Both were absolutely hearty. Very very tasty. Please disregard the review of David H and his meagre 7 contributions. This place is great. Friendly staff as well.

We ate here twice so had to be good but whilst the 1st meal was mixed my venison burger was good but my wife had quite a few bones in her smoked makeral salad, the second meal surpassed expectations, we both had the fish pie,...

The food was good and the service great, however we both felt ill after the meal and my wife vomited her supper up shortly afterwards.....

Great food and nice staff, lovely views and no issues with me not wearing a mask (exempt) - they knew the law and did not make me feel uncomfortable about this.

Great meal husband had fish and chips , I had langoustines . Enjoyed all of it and the sticky toffee carrot cake with ice cream. Service was good and really quick. Staff were lovely. Only downside was the male toilets. He paddled in and out😵‍💫

Really was looking forward to this.. had travelled hours and especially into Ullapool to try this seafood restaurant. So.. we walked in. Post covid it is hard to figure exactly what we are suppose to do sometimes and we were met with hardly a nod....

Just had a fantastic meal here. I had fish soup and mussels which were lovely and my husband had soup of the day and fish pie. Not a fish man but loved it 👍🏻

We arrived in Ullapool and it was pouring with rain so we decided to get a bite to eat, a quick Tripadvisor scan rated this place highly for the Mussels, we have eaten mussels all over the world so had to try them here. Given...
