The Torridon

Have stayed before in The Stables where our room was beautiful. Staff hardworking and attentive. However, very disappointed with the food and menu in the Bo and Muc restaurant.Not sure if they purporting to be high end restaurant or bar food.

This was a big birthday treat whilst doing the NC 500. Unfortunately our trip didn’t go to plan and we created a new route, the NC150! We were determined to make this 2 night stop en route and so glad we achieved it. Our stress melted away. Stunning location as others have said but the hotel team make the place. Unpretentious, warm and friendly combined with outstanding fine dining. And a really enjoyable clay pigeon lesson. Can’t thank you enough for recovering our trip 🙏

It’s a rare achievement to combine true five-star luxury and comfort with such an unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere. Set in one of the most remote and breathtaking locations imaginable, the experience feels both elevated and grounded in its surroundings. What makes it truly special, though, is the staff—genuinely kind, attentive, and effortlessly friendly—who ensure every stay feels personal and memorable. For those who love hiking, it’s an ideal base: spend the day out in the wild Highland landscape, then return to beautifully appointed rooms, exceptional dining, and an outstanding whisky bar. Don’t miss the pub either, as it adds even more charm and character to an already remarkable place.

We booked a family meal to celebrate a special birthday. We experienced the tasting menu in the main hotel dining room. The food was exceptional, clearly a skilled and dedicated kitchen working hard. The level of service from front of houses did not match the quality of the food; certainly not close to what one would expect in a ‘starred’ restaurant. I took time to send detailed and fair feedback direct to the hotel and have been surprised by their failure to respond, particularly since the Torridon makes great publicity about their staff and service. That is disappointing.

It was a serendipitous find on our NC500 trip and we were delighted. The house is charming, the staff warm and attentive, and we were thrilled by the little touches that made our stay truly special, such as the room prepared for the night, the special night-time tea, and so on. We also enjoyed afternoon tea, which we found simply delightful. We stayed for two nights, which was definitely too short. We’re already planning a second trip to Scotland, and we’ll definitely be including a stay at The Torridon. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
