Facilities
Once a grand shooting lodge, The Torridon enjoys one of the most impressive coastal positions in the Scottish Highlands. The building has been lovingly restored to its original splendour, and the 19 bedrooms are all individually designed with fine furnishings and fabrics, decorated to ensure the utmost in comfort and luxury. Many have fantastic views across the loch to the mountains.
The kitchen prides itself on tradition. Award-winning chef Jason ‘Bruno’ Birkbeck produces excellent menus and is highly commended by some of the top cookery writers in the world. He transforms fresh, local produce into simple yet delicious dishes, earning The Torridon 3 rosettes from the AA in 2011.
The hotel is in one of the most idyllic and romantic locations in the Highlands, and an ideal venue for an intimate wedding celebration. The ceremony can take place either in the library or the drawing room or even on the lawn, and the evening can be rounded off with Ceilidh dancing.
The Torridon offers a special bonus in the form of Torridon Activities - a chance to experience kayaking, climbing and a host of other adventure activities.
