Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Aultbea cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Aultbea vary, but you can find a great deal from £90 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Aultbea is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Aultbea for beaches is the coastline immediately surrounding the village, particularly heading north towards Mellon Udrigle and south towards Gairloch.

The village of Aultbea itself is set on the shores of Loch Ewe, and while it offers some coastal access, the most expansive and picturesque sandy beaches are found a short drive away. Mellon Udrigle beach, known for its white sands and clear waters, is a prime example and is easily accessible from Aultbea.

Couples looking for a tranquil coastal escape will find the areas surrounding Aultbea ideal. Many accommodations here offer direct views of the loch or are just a short drive from the stunning beaches, superb for quiet walks and enjoying the natural beauty.

Families will also appreciate staying close to these beaches.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Aultbea?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Aultbea is during July and August, when the weather is at its warmest. Temperatures typically range from 15°C to 19°C, which is lovely for leisurely strolls along the shoreline and enjoying the coastal scenery. During these months, the extended daylight hours mean you'll have plenty of time to explore the local beaches and perhaps even try some watersports. This is also when many of the local seafood restaurants are in full swing, offering the freshest catches.

For couples seeking a more tranquil yet equally rewarding experience, June presents a fantastic alternative. The weather is still very pleasant, with average temperatures around 15°C, making it ideal for coastal walks and wildlife spotting.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Aultbea with Expedia?

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Aultbea?
The best beach activity in Aultbea is exploring the stunning coastline, particularly around Mellon Udrigle and Gairloch.

Mellon Udrigle Beach, just a short drive from Aultbea, is renowned for its pristine white sands and clear turquoise waters. It's an excellent spot for couples looking for a peaceful walk along the shore, enjoying the expansive views of the Summer Isles and the distant mountains. The beach is relatively secluded, making it great for a tranquil afternoon of beachcombing or simply relaxing by the sea.

Families will find Gairloch Beach, a bit further south, to be a fantastic option. This beach offers a wide expanse of sand, ideal for children to play, build sandcastles, and paddle in the shallow waters. There are often opportunities for pony trekking along the beach, which is a memorable experience for younger visitors.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Aultbea as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Aultbea for you.
