Driving
Most people choose to drive here as it gives the greatest freedom for exploring during your stay. From Inverness follow signs from the A9 for Ullapool. 10 miles north of Ullapool take the Achilitbuie turning on your left. Acheninver is about 2 miles on from the Summer Isles Hotel. Exact directions will be supplied when booking. The map below shows our position and if you select the driving tab you can get detailed instructions from Inverness bridge to our front door (you can enter your starting postcode to get exact instructions from elsewhere to us).

Car Hire
There are a number of car hire companies in Inverness that can supply cars for your visit, for collection in town or at the airport:



Bus
There is a link between Achiltibuie and Ullapool that runs twice-daily. In term-time it's is a school bus with an early morning run and a second in late afternoon, normally connecting with coach services to and from Inverness. Outside term-time there is still the early morning service with the late service replaced by one at midday.

Buss links between Ullapool and Inverness are mainly based around the Stornoway Ferry timetable so should be checked according to seasonal variation (please check on the links below). The bus from Ullapool to Achiltibuie takes approx. 30 minutes.

There is also a "Cycle Bus" that runs to Durness and passes the turnoff to Achiltibuie - this still leaves 15 miles of single track road!
