Introduction

Tanglewood House offers comfort, peace, good facilities and excellent food in an area of

outstanding beauty.

The house, set in three acres of ground, is built on a headland above Loch Broom, within easy

reach of the fishing village of Ullapool, just over an hour by car north-west of Inverness.

The house was designed to offer panoramic views in three directions: six miles east up Loch

Broom to the Ben Dearig mountain range, west towards the open sea with the Summer Isles

and Outer Hebrides beyond, and also across the majestic loch to the Scoraig peninsula

managed by the National Trust for Scotland. Behind the house lie wild hills and glens that

stretch virtually unbroken for fifty miles. The views are incredibly beautiful. They need to be

seen to be believed.

Anne Holloway is a trained chef, with years of experience in restaurants and prestigious

Directors' dining rooms including Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong and the Daily Telegraph in

London.

The drawing room has a magnificent twenty-foot window overlooking the loch. A few strides

down the heather-covered headland is Tanglewood House's own beach. Sit in perfect solitude

on the rocks and listen to the seals grumbling across the water. Take the rowing boat to the

cave, carefully prepared, according to local lore, for the escape of Bonny Prince Charlie. Hardy

souls can swim in the loch which, like the surrounding area, is kept mild by the Gulf Stream.


Reviews

The house can accommodate up to six guests. There is a double room, the Green Room, which

has its own balcony. There are also two twin-bedded rooms, the Blue Room and the Red Room.

Each bedroom has its own bathroom with both bath and shower, comfortable beds with

electric blankets, easy chairs and breathtaking views of the sea loch, distant village and hills

opposite.

The facilities include a large garden, a rowing boat, grand piano, stereo, television with

video and a wide selection of video tapes, recorded music, books, and board games.

There is a drying room for outdoor clothes and wetsuits.

There are also wonderful opportunities for sailing, scuba diving, hill walking, bird watching,

climbing, deer stalking, salmon and trout fishing, and the new local 9-hole golf course.


Fine Dining

Your hostess, Anne Holloway, is a cordon bleu chef, with years of experience in

prestigious restaurants and directors' dining rooms. She brings this experience and a

distinctive stylishness to a region blessed with glorious ingredients, including a diversity of

seafood from the fishing boats of Ullapool and venison from the surrounding hills.

Breakfast on local smoked fish, local sausages, porridge with cream and home-made

marmalade. Picnics can be ordered for excursions. Dinner at Tanglewood House is a much

sought-after option.

We are unlicensed but you are welcome to bring your own wines. We do not make corkage

charges.


Reviews

Here are some of the reviews of Tanglewood House:

“Superb food cooked with skill and affection is enhanced by sunset views from floor to

ceiling windows. Stunning desserts.” taste-of-scotland.com

The 2008 edition of "Scotland the Best" by Peter Irvine rates Tanglewood House as

one of the 5 Great Highland B&Bs.

A review of Tanglewood House appears on the website Taste-of-Scotland.com:

"A rare and unusual guest house where accomplished cook and proprietor Anne Holloway presents guests with superb skillful meals. She makes use of

the best on offer daily from the local fishermen and butcher. Although unlicensed, bring your own wine and enjoy the dishes offered. The sunsets over

Loch Broom are truly wonderful."

Tanglewood House was reviewed in the June 2007 edition of Scottish Field as one of its 10 unique B&Bs. The review said:

"With its own beach and 20-foot window overlooking breathtaking views, Tanglewood House is possibly in one of the most delightful locations in

Scotland. It takes a matter of seconds to walk the few metres from the door of the guesthouse to the rocky beach and watch the local seals. Distant from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the incredible scenic backdrop can allow for the ultimate relaxation experience. All three guest bedrooms have a view over Loch Broom and the distant village and hills on the other side. The guesthouse is also set amid three acres

of wild gardens. Cordon Bleu food is provided, all cooked from local produce bought from fishmongers or butchers nearby."
