Altandhu is
a small community on the Coigach
Peninsula overlooking the Summer Isles and the
mountains of Skye. On clear days the Outer
Hebrides can be seen. From Ullapool it is some 25
miles (the last 15 single-track) past Stac Pollaidh
and Lochs Lurgainn, Badagyle and Oscaig.
This remote
and beautiful area is no tourist trap
but instead offers peace and tranquillity to those
who prefer walking and bird watching to discos
and sight-seeing.
There are general
stores at Polbain (which sells
just about everything !) about 2 miles away and
at Achiltibuie (about 4 miles) which also sells petrol.
The famous Summer Isles hotel, restaurant and
the Hydroponicum are also at Achiltibuie. Polbain
Stores
will arrange for groceries to be delivered
before your arrival, if required.
The Smokehouse
at Altandhu sells locally
produced smoked foods.
The Am Fuaran
Bar at Altandhu serves meals in
the summer season as do the Summer Isles
Hotel and the Hydroponicum Cafe.
