Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Booked the Torfin for a birthday brunch for 30 people. Food was delicious and plentiful. Staff were very attentive and couldn’t have been more helpful. Highly recommend.

We love the Torfin! A firm fave amongst friends and family. Regularly meet mum friends for coffee and breakfast rolls after baby classes, family for lunches and friends for cocktails and chats. Friendly and attentive staff and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We’ve also signed up...to this year’s Xmas wreath making workshop and breakfast with Santa! Glad we signed up quickly as they’re a sell out! Nice one #teamTorfin!More

Haven’t been before but always meant to try the Torfin. Dropped it today for a late lunch & between us had the burger with whisky & peppercorn sauce & the quesadilla. Burger was delicious, quesadilla was large for a starter portion, but salsa could have...been tastier. Service was very pleasant from young staff. Wine & food prices were good value. Would definitely return.More

I took my Mum and Granny in and we enjoyed the half price burgers, who said they were the best gluten free burgers they'd ever had. My Granny enjoyed the cheesecake and can't wait to come back! The staff are always amazing and go above...and beyond. Very cosy and dog friendly, highly recommend The Torfin!More

Can’t rave about this place enough. We had the roast chicken special and a steak both were outstanding. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us! Will have to come back soon and try their Christmas menu.

We stayed 22nd October for 1 night- our stop off from Preston to Loch Ness. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We are a family of 5 and a large dog, so we booked 2 rooms and brought our daughter (5) a camp bed....All the staff were very friendly and accommodating we would really recommend this pub with rooms. We dined downstairs in the dog friendly area and bought our dog an ice meal and a doggy beer which he loved. The human food and cocktails were also really nice can recommend the sea bass curry the bangers and mash my husband had was excellent also. Room at the front of the hotel was quite noisy as I’m a light sleeper so would recommend earplugs. On the whole 9/10 would love to stay again. Also the small cafe viro a few doors down was excellent for breakfast and. Also dog friendly xxxMore

Sorry - we were in a hotel only a few hundred metres away so didn’t need to use the washrooms. I’d hope so but worth a check with them beforehand.
