“"Oh my God charles!!!!"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2012

Oh My Gooooddd Charles!!!!
This could be the introducing sentence for this hotel! Have you "blu blood"? Is your father a duke? Noooo???? and why are you here? Maybe even the Queen could be embarrassed in this "noblesse".
But the Kitchen no! It is not in the same level of the "importance" they pretend.
Every meal is too much elaborated and nothing simple: so, the taste looses itself step by step.
And the rooms: it looks like in the Mary Poppins tale!
Anyway, every very clean.

“Amazing beautiful Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2012

We were at the Torridon for our friends wedding, what an amazing place! In a beautiful location, great rooms, amazing food, and staff where nothing is too much trouble, and that's before you even start looking at the Whisky bar! I cannot recommend this place enough and will be returning when we are next up in the Highlands!

“customer relations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2012

I sailed to the Torridon from Italy in a large mega yacht as Captain. The Owner wished to have a drink in the bar to reminisce about a previous stay he had had many years ago and to share it with his family. He called to ask permission to come in to sit at the bar using the private pier located near by using our tender. He was extremely disapointed to hear that he was not welcome because the bar was only for use by the hotels guests with a room.
On one hand I can understand this to keep the standards and exclusivness of the place but for this particular event I believe the hotel made a serious mistake.
For this reason I leave a review without ever having stayed in the hotel.

Stayed August 2011, traveled with family

Thank you for your review. Was it just your client coming for a drink or the whole super yacht? In order to retain exclusivity and ensure that we look after our hotel residents offering them the best service possible, we do have a rule that does not permit non-residents into the hotel after 6pm unless you have a reservation for the Torridon restaurant and wish to dine. Non-residents are more than welcome any time before 6pm for lunch and afternoon tea or even just for a drink. We find this is a good compromise, allowing people not staying to experience the Torridon, yet offering those people wishing to stay as residents a level of exclusivity for which they come to expect. We also have the Torridon Inn available to everyone from 8am – 11pm.

Kind Regards,

Daniel and Rohaise Rose-Bristow

“Wonderful setting for a Highland wedding!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2011

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend at The Torridon, celebrating the wedding of our friends. The weekend was perfect from the moment we arrived till we reluctantly left. Our room was luxurious comfortable, with gorgeous mountain views. The food was out of this world and we enjoyed sampling a few whiskys from the extensive selection. We particularly enjoyed the clay pigeon shooting and archery. All of the staff were extremely friendly and made us feel totally at home. We will definitely be back!

Room Tip: Pets allowed in the cottage, next to the Inn. Make sure to ask for a room with a mountain view!

“Dog Lover loves the Torridon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2011

person found this review helpful

We had a short stay at the Torridon recently with our dog and we were a bit surprised at the 'leave your dog at home' review. The Torridon is all that others have said in regard to its superb location; a first class hotel where attention to detail is everything; attentive and friendly staff; and of course, top class dining.
We have the best behaved dog in the country. Keira is a Kerry Blue who does not cast her hair, is very obedient, is people and child friendly and, most of all, is pretty with it!! However, much as we love our dog we recognise that not everyone feels the same way and there is the real problem that some people are allergic to dogs and cats. We found the cottage ideal accomodation with a separate lounge, large bathroom and big comfortable bed and plenty of room for the dog to wander. The entrance hall has doors at both sides and a good floor covering that meant the dog could be properly cleaned and dried before circulating in the living areas. Admittedly we did not have a loch view but we were happy to sit in the lounge of the hotel before and after dinner and enjoy all the facilities of the main accomodation knowing that Keira was not locked up in a small bedroom. We could exercise the dog in the beautiful grounds at any time and we were rather pleased to have some of the staff make a fuss of her and tell us that they remembered her from a previous visit.
All in all the Torridon lives up to its very high reputation and my advice would be, if you have a dog you will be well looked after in very comfortable accommodation with excellent facilities and superb dining.

Room Tip: The cottage is separate from but immediately adjacent to the main hotel with its own parking space
