A journey to The Torridon is like taking a step back in time. Nestled into the rolling green hills of the Scottish Highlands, the historic manor house stands sentinel over an enchanting landscape filled with towering pines, imposing mountains and a sprawling loch that is fittingly emblematic of this wild corner of the British Isles.
From the first glimpse, the 19th-century retreat oozes historic grandeur with classic Victorian architecture with turrets and a dramatic brick façade. Inside, impressive original features remain but are brought into the modern era with sleek contemporary furnishings and soothing natural tones. Creature comforts like an upscale whisky bar and indulgent deep-soaking tubs add to the extravagant ambiance, while a host of outdoor pursuits like hiking, fishing and kayaking ensure you can make the most of your spectacular surroundings.
- The breathtaking Highlands setting alone is worth checking into the family-owned boutique hotel, led by power couple Daniel and Rohaise Rose-Bristow. The stately structure sits in a forest along the banks of the clear waters of Loch Torridon with mountains in the backdrop.
- Outdoor pursuits of land and sea abound at The Torridon thanks to a group of adventure guides. Try your hand at archery, clay pigeon shooting, mountain biking, gorge scrambling, sea kayaking or even snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the nearby loch.
- Get a taste of the Scottish Highlands at 1887 Restaurant. The acclaimed fine-dining venue transforms manor-grown produce and locally sourced meat and seafood into a suite of dishes that tell the story of Scotland’s bounty in mouthwatering detail.
- Brown spirits lovers will want to make a beeline for The Whisky Bar. The oak-paneled bar houses 365 classics and rare vintages alongside a collection of 80 gins, including the hotel’s own house-distilled spirit.
- Afternoon tea at The Torridon is a must. Sip on a well-brewed cuppa (or glass of bubbles) in the warm wood-paneled surroundings of 1887 Restaurant while admiring the stunning Highland views through floor-to-ceiling windows.
- The Scottish Highlands hotel offers an array of sumptuous accommodations. Unwind in one of 18 refreshed guest rooms, check into one of 12 cozy cottages or soak up gorgeous loch vistas from the comfort of The Boathouse.
- Accommodations within The Torridon’s main hotel building all feature contemporary color palettes and updated furnishings hand-picked by Rohaise herself. The overall look is Victorian-made-modern — think tufted headboards in contemporary patterns, well-placed pops of color in wingback chairs and push pillows, and a few deep-soaking tubs in sleek marble bathrooms.
- The highlight of the 18 hotel rooms? Show-stopping views through oversized picture windows that look straight out of a Victorian oil painting.
- Families and couples seeking a little extra privacy can check into a cozy accommodation in The Stables. These comfortable, cozy (and dog-friendly) rooms keep you closer to the outdoor adventure center and make a prime home base for those looking to explore the Highlands.
- For splendidly peaceful self-catering accommodations, reserve a stay at The Boathouse. Booked nearly a year in advance, the highly coveted retreat offers two bedrooms, a full kitchen and a fireplace-clad lounge in a secluded loch-side location.
