"Aultbea in Scenic Wester Ross" Aultbea by RhineRoll

Aultbea Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 0 photos

Aultbea is a small farming village on the shores of Loch Ewe. Many of the houses, like our holiday cottage, enjoy wonderful views of the loch and the Torridon mountains.

Loch Ewe has quite a lively history. In World War II it was a busy military installation, as the supply convoys for Russia were assembled in this north-facing loch. Today, a couple of nissen huts remain -- and a small NATO submarine service station. Inverewe gardens is a quick 5-mile drive from Aultbea.

Aultbea has a small grocery shop, an excellent butcher also selling groceries and two hotels

Pros and Cons

Pros:A place to really get away from it all
Cons:No nightlife -- you must rely on your own!
In a nutshell:A great place to relax and recharge your batteries

Great Location, Reasonable Prices Restaurants (1)

We had dinner at the Aultbea Hotel several times during our one-week stay. It's not a place for an eclectic cuisine... more travel advice
