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
