The Torridon Inn - Highland

Great food, incredible management. Been many times over the past two years, and this past 6 months have been especially impressive. Creative dishes and thoughtful service.

We come up to Torridon every year and stay in either Annat or Torridon. In the past we've always eaten in Bo Muc at least a couple of times during our stay and always really enjoyed it (I've given previous reviews). We've also visited the gin and whiskey bar in the hotel and eaten at the 1887 restaurant too. It's always been a great experience, great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. This year however we weren't able to eat in Bo Muc or the hotel because we weren't hotel guests. All we were able to do is have a drink in the bar in the afternoons. We did this 3/4 times during our 2 week stay in Torridon but by the end of our stay I actually ended up feeling quite resentful about spending money there. The decision to only allow hotel guests to eat isn't very clear. I couldn't help but feel that this place has actually started to get a bit too big for its boots since featuring on BBC Amazing Hotels (we were actually at the hotel for an Archery lesson when they were filming the episode). There is an air of superiority about the place now which seems to account for a lack of effort and friendliness. It's almost as if they now rely on the fact that they featured on the TV show and that everyone who walks through the door should feel privileged to be allowed to experience it, even if that's for a drink! After loving this place for years, this year, I was disappointed and resentful. It's a shame they now dismiss those that probably helped them get to where they are now. We'll continue to stay in Torridon as it's absolutely stunning but I wouldn't even visit Bo and Muc for a drink in future. I shouldn't be made to feel like I'm lucky to be a customer, you should be grateful for your customers and those willing to spend their money in your establishment. Really disappointing.

The restaurant is lacking in atmosphere and serves overpriced, low-quality food. The "Torridon Farm Burger" tasted similar to a cheap supermarket burger.

We ate here while staying in the area as part of our Honeymoon Tour of the Highlands good food, great whisky selection and great staff. Will come again!

Nearly £20 for a burger? A very ordinary burger at that, with a few chips and no salad/garnish/anything? £18 plus an automatically added 10% service charge! . 4 options for main courses on the menu, no specials? No vegetables anywhere to be seen? I've been visiting...
