Just back from The Torridon and had to write a review straight away. In a word it is Magnificent. The location is remote, peaceful and beautiful (well worth the drive up the single track road, watch out for deer and sheep). The food was sublime. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The room was wonderful with a massive bed. Relaxing in the slipper bath in the turret looking over the loch was delightful. Would recommend this hotel to any of my friends or family in a heartbeat.

We've stayed here a couple of times and on both occasions, it's been fabulous. Our original visit was a honeymoon present and it's a very memorable one.

It's expensive, but it's really very pleasant indeed. There is, of course, some superb walking and scenery around here, and to come back from a hard days' tramping up a hill to the luxury of Torridon makes it even more worthwhile.

I'm not sure I'd stay here with children, it just wouldn't work. But a quiet weekend away without them? The perfect location to escape to.

We stayed here for 3 nights in January 2007 having stayed here before and been impressed. We were really disappointed this time and thought it was grossly overpriced and living on its reputation. Bearing in mind this was January, there was only a tiny fire burning in the reception hall when you would expect a big roaring one. On both the Saturday and Sunday they couldn't be bothered to light a fire in the residents lounge or the library so it was hardly a welcoming place to come back to after a good long walk. We booked a superior room which was really dated and tired. All in all it seemed as if the owners are now just going through the motions so to speak. We would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

I stayed here August '07 for one night in the "royal suite" which was their most expensive room. The hotel itself was a laird's hunting lodge, nicely converted to a very comfortable hotel, with some portions added to modernize services. The ambiance is special and creates a view of the life of the wealthy 150 years ago. It is located back from the lake, with a dramatic view of the mountains, and Highland "coos" grazing in front. The accomodation was excellent, nicely appointed, and staff could not have been any more attentive. The whisky bar has 310 single malts!! Local walks and hikes are easily accessed, and there is a full-time recreation director (I took a sunrise walk at 430 AM). Breakfast and dinner service was excellent, and the dinner itself was one of the finest meals in recent memory.
