The Torridon

We stayed in adjacent The Stables but had breakfast in the hotel.|A very warm, professional welcome in the hotel on arrival, such a gorgeous place and what a location.Have stayed before but we were given a brief tour of the facilities anyway. Our room in the Stables (first stay here) was even nicer than I expected, though toiletries were a bit nondescript re scent.Had hoped for some really nice smelling shower gels etc rather than bland Bamford offerings.Their ‘Geranium and Lavender’ range really didn’t have much aroma of either.|Breakfast was in the beautiful 1887 room and was, overall, very good.|My only complaint - absolutely tasteless, sloppy porridge.This was very disappointing for a 5 star hotel.They need to use at least Medium Oatmeal, soaked overnight, to get the lovely nutty taste of the real thing; rolled oats just taste of not a lot.|Thankfully I’d filled up first on some lovely cold breakfast items which were delicious as I find that no hotels or B&Bs seem to make decent porridge nowadays.|We had dinner in Bo and Muc (VERY pricey, quality very average, separate review.) The Applecross Inn is the place for good food.|However, overall, this was a wonderful stay and we will be back.Torridon itself is magical, even on rainy days.

Booked The Torridon for my partners 60th birthday night away. Very impressive setting, even in the pouring rain. But the warm welcome made up for the very rainy trip from Inverness. |The room (1887) was an absolutely stunning suite. We were stunned into silence when we seen it. Little touches like chocolates, flowers from the gardens and whisky were all beautifully presented. |We had some beautiful cocktails at the stunning whisky bar before having dinner at Bo and Muc. Food was brilliant and a birthday glass of champagne was an added delight. |Back to sit in front of the fire with more cocktails and a game of chess. |The bed was sooooo comfortable, so much so that we have ordered the same 2 pillows for our own home! |Breakfast was lovely too. Eggs benedict is always my favourite and this one was fabulous.|Every member of staff we came into contact with were absolutely marvellous and a credit to the hotel. Shona the gardener even gave us tips how to grow dahlias which are my fav flower. The kitchen garden was impressive, even at the end of the season. |Will definately be back. Thank you very much for a 1st class stay.

One of the best weekends we have ever had as husband and wife! A truly remarkable and uniquely beautiful hotel. Everything was genuinely perfect from beginning to end. The walks and breathtaking views, the room, the food, the whisky bar….The outdoor bath in cottage!!!!|The chef Danny Young has some true genius in him and Michelin stars must be following soon.|Please do the 10km loop walk! Please drive from Sheldaig to Applecross (the favourite drive of my life)|We loved the balance between one of UKs best restaurants and the v chilled but glorious menu at their Bistro (Bo & Muc)|But maybe best of all are the people. Kindness, warmth, insight and knowledge, talent ….and a genuine passion for us to enjoy ourselves. |I know this is slightly effusive……but we have had one of the GREAT long weekends (stay for 3 nights!!!! 2 is NOT enough!) - thank you ALL. We will be back

The Torridon is a stunning hotel, beautifully decorated and in the most breathtaking loch-side location. Fabulous views from every angle, and there were some fantastic walks of different lengths on the doorstep. Great staff, and Andrew in the whisky room / bar was a joy to chat to. His whisky and spirits knowledge is amazing! A few things warrant the four star review. We stayed in room 12A, a gorgeous room overlooking the mountains and Loch, but there was absolutely no wifi. The staff reset it, and apparently the provider did as well, but there was no real difference. Very frustrating.|We ate in both the 1887 restaurant and Bo & Muc. The restaurant forgot to omit a simple garnish from one meal, and in Bo & Muc they forgot our sides. To be fair, the staff member that forgot each thing apologised personally, and a concession was made on the bill, but these errors shouldn't happen. |I would definitely recommend The Torridon, but just can't give it full marks.

The Torridon is truly a magical place; from the warm and inviting team members that greet you to the warm ambience of the common areas. You feel like you’re at home yet surrounded by understated luxury. The backdrop of the Highlands is truly indescribable. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth and the Torridon makes it all the more special. I cannot say enough positive things about my time there - excellent food, amazing team members, and if you’re a fan of whiskey and scotch, you will not be disappointed with their selection.

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Torridon Hotel — it was wonderful! What an amazing team: friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. The hotel feels like a warm embrace, creating such a special atmosphere. It’s remarkable how close to perfect everything was. During our stay, Storm Amy swept through the Highlands, which was the only downside — but even that couldn’t spoil our experience. We will definitely be back.|Thank you to all the lovely staff at The Torridon for making our stay unforgettable.

Wonderful hotel. We stayed in the Stables, which are cheaper but not that good. The hotel proper is gorgeous where they lovely Lounge, excellent food and a terrific whisky bar ( and barman!). The scenery is Scottish magnificent and we went for most enjoyable walk around the estate. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful service in a stunning location! Staff couldn’t have been nicer. Our room (no.1) was absolutely beautiful with such attention to detail, I have worked in hospitality for over 30 yrs and this Hotel/services and offering did not disappoint! Well done to each and every member of staff for making this Hotel very special indeed.

Lovely accommodations with lovely service. Team works hard to make guest feel welcomed and comfortable. Bed is the yummiest! Dining is okay. Had a bad experience at the pub.

Recently stayed at the Torridon Hotel and loved it. Room was well designed...comfortable and wonderful views. Staff was terrific...very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to "Peter" for teaching us all about Scotch Whisky!! Meals were excellent...friendly staff...each meal was well presented, described by the staff and had wonderful flavors and textures! Definitely recommend!

A superlative place for a quiet, romantic getaway. The staff are friendly, the selection of whiskies and gins is unbelievable (300 malts & 50 gins), and the hotel and grounds are gorgeous. We ate three nights in the hotel's dining room, and each was a splendid affair. Old-school service (amuse-bouche in the drawing room before "going through" to the dining room, and an ever-changing array of delightful dishes. We enjoyed local beef, venison, salmon, and some delectable desserts. Chef was very warm, and always came out at the end of dinner service to say hello and chat about the meal. There are dozens of activities to participate in courtesy of the hotel and surroundings. We took advantage of the landscape, and did two beautiful hikes along the lochs, and partway up one of the nearby mountains.

Amazing food probably the best I have ever had. Amazing location, lovely staff! The best food definitely recommend! The rooms are amazing , lovely interior . They have an activity department and and pub for less expensive food but still great ! 58 acres if ground to explore including a garden, loch side , woods and more ! The best hotel ever! P.s.this hotel won hotel of the year in Scotland! Visit the website www.thetorridon.com

Wtf amazing! We had originally booked the inn next-door, but once we saw the hotel we booked the last room in the hotel. Wow, absolutely the coolest place we've ever been. We were doing the north 500 and this was definitely the most worth it place to stop. The mealwas ridiculously five star and the service was the best it could've possibly been. We will definitely be making the trip halfway across the world to come back to this magnificent place. Will definitely recommend this to all of our American friends and family.

Overcooked and cold food would not recommend. Beautiful location though.
