The Torridon

Character and identity

The Torridon occupies a 19th-century manor on the banks of Loch Torridon, with turrets, brick façades and Victorian bones intact, set against a backdrop of pine forest and Highland peaks. Inside, original features sit alongside contemporary furnishings in muted natural tones, and rooms come with deep soaking tubs. The family-owned property, run by Daniel and Rohaise Rose-Bristow, anchors itself around 1887 Restaurant, where manor-grown produce and local seafood drive the menu, and an oak-paneled whisky bar stocking 365 bottles plus 80 gins, including a house spirit. A team of adventure guides runs the outdoor programme.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The reason to come is the setting and what you can do in it: a stately manor pressed right up against loch, forest and mountain, with an in-house guiding team that turns the landscape into the itinerary. Book a loch-facing room, plan dinner at 1887 on at least one night, and time your stay for long summer evenings or crisp autumn stalking season.
