“Fabulous food and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

Although the rooms are furnished rather basically - although the throws and wooden duck are a nice touch, plus good selection of tea and coffee - they were very clean and plenty of towels laid out, even though there were only three of us. Service was exceptional both front of house and in the restaurant - our seven year old was made to feel really welcome and we liked the Highland Coos for colouring-in on the back of the children's menu (and the treat she got for doing it!). Fabulous food, both for dinner and breakfast. Tip - don't stuff yourselves to the point of explosion as we did the night before, as you'll never have room for the delicious-looking cooked breakfast the next morning.
They do loads of outdoor activities (£) which looked great if that is your sort of thing - but there are gentle walks around if you just want to take it easy.

Loved the bird-feeders outside the restaurant window - we saw six different types of birds during dinner.
Hated the clouds of midges - make sure you take copious amounts of insect repellent.

Room Tip: Ask for the pet-friendly room on booking if you are travelling with dogs!

“Lovd the room but the bar isa bit basic and higety pigilty”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2011

You can not fault the Torridon Inn for the bed=rooms - spacious and welcoming. The food and service is excellent and it is only let down by the disjointed and basic bar area

We are delighted that you enjoyed your room and your stay at The Torridon, I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say the bar is 'higety pigilty' but we hope that the bar retains a warm feel of highland hospitality and we are very sorry if it did not meet your expectations. I am however glad that you enjoyed the service and food.

We hope that you will return to The Torridon.

“Very disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

Room was fine, double beds in a twin room, but for the price charged, £99, very disappointed in the fact that the taps in the ensuite would not turn off unless you used excessive force, the information in the book about the hotel gave the wrong numbers for the TV stations, always get 2 packet of biscuits on the hospitality tray except here only one, my wife could not eat her dinner - overcooked, and though B&B only offered cereal, juice, coffee and 2 bits of toast, only toasted on one side, for breakfast unless you paid £10 extra for a cooked breakfast or for the meat and cheese for a continental breakfast.

Dear sir,

Thank you for your review. I apologise for not meeting your expectations and am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. The taps were fixed as soon as you told us, the TV stations were reprogrammed. You were asked at dinner if everything was alright and you did not tell us about the scampi, but if you had we would have offered to re do the dish or offer an alternative. Breakfast is included and I am at a loss as to why you think it was not as B&B was written on your confirmation.

Kind Regards

“A little disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011

Staying at Kinlochewe we visited the Inn for dinner. Staff were excellent as was the service and food quality but the food portions were somewhat spartan. Both of us had the fish pie and were asked if we would like salad with this. This turned out to be "a couple of leaves" and a drop or so of dressing. I had the cheese dessert , albeit the 5 cheeses were excellent, but would have expected a little more of each than a bite size and two very thin oatcakes. This item I think reflected penny pinching. My wife's Eton Mess was excellent but was disappointed with her one third cup of coffee which could not be bulked up with milk or cream as she specifically asked for it black. I regret to say , of the several places at which we dined during a fortnights stay in the Highlands the Inn represented the lower value for money.

Dear Sir,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review The Torridon Inn. I am delighted you found so many positives in your visit in terms of the staff, the service you received, and the quality of the food. It appears the main issue was with portion sizes, we are sorry that you did not find these adequate. However, many of our guests enjoy our portion sizes and we do try to be generous, as many of our guests have spent the day outdoors, many walking in the hills. Had you raised these issues with the staff on the night we hope that they would have done everything possible to resolve these problems.

It appears overall that you did enjoy your visit, but value to money is important to you and you did not feel that you received this, despite our best efforts.

We hope that you will visit The Torridon again, and please let us know if you decide to do so.

Kind Regards,

Dan & Rohaise Rose-Bristow

“Really enjoyed it here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011

We toured the coast of Scotland during May staying one night in each hotel and this is one of the hotels we stayed in - This was a lovely place and only issue was that you have to walk a way for your meals. The rooms were in individual houses, one up one down but beautifully presented. They were large, spacious, immaculately clean and well decorated. I doubt most had good views from the rooms but they had eveything else you needed, including many varieties of tea etc. This was a real base for many adventure holidays and there was a pool table and dart board etc for walkers and mountain bikers if they wanted that sort of thing to relax. We walked extensively and saw an owl whilst there. Views from the hills above were absolutely stunning and once back we walked to the main part for a delicious meal in a separate dining area and the ambiance everywhere sseemed really good. Definately somewhere I'd like to go back to. This was the Torridon Inn so if this is that good I do wonder what the Torridon Hotel next door would be like, probably as good but dearer!
