VIntage, Classic and High Performance Cars

There are several vintage, classic and high performance car clubs that regularly book into Eddrachilles Hotel for one or two nights as part of a tour of the North Coast 500 or the Northern Highlands. ;As Eddrachilles is outside a village, our hotel car parking is discreet.

taxis

There is now a taxi service Ullataxis based in Ullapool which will undertake transfers or day trips. They can be contacted by phone on 07795622627 (book in advance!). Occasionally the Durness Bus company can also provide private hire services - book well in advance. However, there is no local (Scourie, Lochinver or Kylesku based) taxi service and for insurance reasons the team at Eddrachilles are unable to provide that service ourselves.

Petrol and diesel are available 24/7 from Scourie Filling Station about 2.5 miles north of the hotel. However, you must have a debit or credit card that is PIN enabled to operate the pumps if you wish to use them. .There are also 24/7 filling station facilities in Ullapool and Lochinver.
