We phoned the hotel to book dinner at the fine dining restaurant. The staff was lovely and advised they had booked us a table for the following evening. When we arrived, we were told we did not have a booking and were eventually advised we had been booked at the other restaurant, the Bo & Muc. No effort was made to move the booking to the fine dining restaurant nor was any effort made to reschedule the booking for the duration of our stay in the area. No apologies were made for the confusion, even though it was their staff who made the mistake. If anything, we felt like we had not been believed that we had booked the fine dining restaurant and that we were stupid. I will say that the food and service at Bo & Muc was lovely, it was just hard to move on from the disappointment.

We were travelling in the area, and I really wanted to visit the hotel. I rang to enquire about having breakfast. I spoke with Steve the restaurant manager and he said he could arrange tea and scones for us. On arrival the receptionist welcomed us and was expecting us. We were shown to a beautifully set table with a stunning view of the grounds and surrounding area. We were served a delicious breakfast. The food, the staff, the hotel and the area were all stunning. I cannot wait to return and stay to experience more The Torridon has to offer.

Branding for The Torridon is ‘no other place like it’. I wholeheartedly agree, nestled on the banks of beautiful Loch Torridon, it is without doubt a special place and well worth the effort on single track roads to get there. Warmly welcomed, this small perfectly formed and immaculate hotel is the perfect place to spend time. The team without exception is discreet, polite and professional. The interiors are both traditional and modern with a nod to its heritage but not twee, I loved the bold use of colour. We ate in both restaurants, each great. My husband enjoyed the whiskey bar with its vast array of choice and knowledgeable bar tender. We stayed in a deluxe room overlooking the loch and the brook running alongside the hotel. Immaculate and beautifully furnished, very comfortable bed, Bamford products and fluffy towels. The surrounding area is stunning, we visited Eilean Doran castle and took a drive to Applecross, which takes you along the Atlantic coast with views across to Skye, not for the faint hearted but not to be missed. There are five star hotels and then there are five star hotels masquerading as a five star and I have been to both. The Torridon is definitely worthy of its five stars. Special mention to Hazel, Louis and Steeve. Thank you for looking after us so well, we shall return.

This hotel was pure relaxation and a quiet relaxed class about it. We had the most beautiful room with a view over the inlet. I only wish I had another night to stay and enjoy. The evening dinner of risotto was excellent and the whiskeys that evening with Louis looking after us was the perfect end to a perfect evening.

An unforgettable experience and well worth the journey made from South Manchester. Every member of staff so friendly, the warmest of welcomes, tailored local advice for day trips, and lovely food. We had no problem booking our stay, and as we were celebrating two special occasions both a birthday and 5th anniversary, we booked some extras too - flowers in the room and a guided walk up Beinn Dàmh with Torridon Outdoors - all delivered with the same outstanding personal service. In our four-day trip, we ate at 1887 once and Bo & Muc twice with different brasserie menu options each night, and happily lounged in the bar browsing the extensive gin and whisky menu with the majestic view of the sea loch. For coffees and lunch while out on day trips, we visited Shieldag (Nanny’s and Shieldaig Bar & Coastal Kitchen just short 12 mile drive), Applecross (Applecross Inn), Gairloch, Ullapool (Delicasea and West Coast Delicatessan). Local walks around the hotel easy to follow with the Torridon trail map to the kitchen garden or circular loop to the boat house and back. Too many breathtaking scenic drives to mention. Needless to say we are already planning our next trip and couldn’t recommend it enough.
