The Torridon

We had very high expectations for The Torridon and they were largely met or exceeded. The location is spectacular. We had delightful accommodation in the Chestnut Cottage. We dined well both evenings at Bo & Muc, preferring the smaller menu to the main restaurant. Breakfast in the main restaurant is delightful, with a great buffet and menu choices. Service generally is outstanding; our check in wasn’t great, yet it’s so important; we learned that the wonderful lady from Zim had been on holiday the day we arrived. Also at breakfast we needed to wait too long to be seated and then to place our order - these are small criticisms of an overall wonderful stay which fully deserves 5*.

I had an amazing and lovely experience at 1887, service was attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable, I have recommended to a few times in conversations already. Michael was definitely a highlight for us, we will be back to see him again

Michael provided exceptional service throughout our dining experience. He was warm, attentive, professional, and genuinely thoughtful, making sure every detail was taken care of without ever being intrusive. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and personal touch made us feel truly welcomed and valued. Michael went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening, and his outstanding service deserves special recognition. He is a fantastic ambassador for 1887, and we would be delighted to be served by him again.

Stunning scenery, gorgeous room sumptuously appointed with everything one would expect from a luxury hotel, attentive & friendly staff, exquisite grounds, lovely bar, library and sitting room and . . . did I mention the nine course tasting menu in the 1887 dining room with optional wine pairing??? The BEST three and a half hour dinning experience I have ever had. I only wish I could have stayed longer. This is true luxury!

Check in was straightforward and pleasant and Gillian seems to oversee a smooth experience for all. We stayed at the hotel and the room was lovely and clean and beautifully decorated. Turndown was a nice touch - coming back to thoughtful touches such as the tea bags at the ready and sleep masks provided. We dined at Bo and Muc on both nights and enjoyed our meals thoroughly. Ankit was an absolute delight - warm and personable. Thank you especially to the chef and the team for accommodating our dietary requirements - much appreciated. To be honest, all staff such as Rajan, Danielle, Lilian etc were all exemplary. Breakfast was likewise delicious and the experience and service, all flawless. Overall our stay was faultless. Rather than it be a one hit wonder, I am already thinking of the next opportunity to revisit and explore the walking trails by the hotel that we missed this time around, as well as more opportunities to explore the surrounding scenery. To note, the reception is poor owing to the remote setting, but WiFi is excellent.
