About The Dipping Lugger
Nestled on the whitewashed waterfront of Ullapool, overlooking the tranquil waters of Loch Broom, *The Dipping Lugger* is a culinary and hospitality gem steeped in Highland charm. Housed within an elegantly restored 18th-century manse—once tied to Ullapool’s herring fishing heritage—this intimate restaurant with rooms offers an extraordinary blend of history, luxury, and world-class dining.
At the heart of *The Dipping Lugger* is The Tasting Room, an 18-seat dining space where the focus is firmly on local, seasonal ingredients. Guided by the creative vision of Head Chef David Smith, the tasting menus are a celebration of the Highland larder, with dishes like hand-dived Loch Broom scallops and celeriac gnocchi with truffle espuma. Every plate is thoughtfully crafted to showcase bold, clean flavors, served in perfect harmony with the venue’s serene surroundings. The experience is elevated by the option to sample their award-winning Seven Crofts gin, distilled right in Ullapool.
The charm doesn’t stop at the dining table. The Dipping Lugger also offers luxurious bedrooms, making it an ideal retreat for North Coast 500 travelers or culinary adventurers seeking a true taste of the Highlands. With warm, attentive service, breathtaking harbor views, and an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and welcoming, *The Dipping Lugger* is a destination where unforgettable memories are made.
