Highlands AdventureThe Torridon is set on 58 acres of private parkland in one of the most scenic parts of Scotland. Located on thebanks of Loch Torridon, the property overlooks an iconic Scottish Highlands landscape: towering mountains,glittering lochs, and miles upon miles of fields and forests.The lounge and bar areas are lovely places to unwind, read yourbook, play a board game – there is even a carefully positionedtelescope for guests to use by one of the windows. Look outfor the astronomy ceiling in honour of Queen Victoria in thelounge – the Torridon was once the home of Ada Lovelace (LordByron’s daughter) and her husband. But as nice as the hotel andits neighbouring inn are, the real reason to visit this area is for thesublime scenery. You may choose to just stroll the acres of groundsfor ever-changing views of the loch and mountains, or perhapsyou’d like to venture further afield to the beautiful loch of Diabaigor the wild peninsula of Applecross. Alternatively, join in one ofthe activities offered to guests of the hotel. We enjoyed a greatafternoon of clay pigeon shooting with the hotel’s Highland’s cowswatching in amusement. Throughout our stay, the service wasexcellent. The majority of those working at The Torridon also livein, resulting in a community of togetherness that translates to theguests.RoomsRooms are pleasingly comfortable, with huge comfy beds,Nespresso machines and Tunnock’s Teacakes, Sky TV anddecent wi-fi considering the remote location. Our room had afabulous view overlooking the loch and a huge bathroom withfreestanding bath, a much welcome feature after the 14-milelong ‘Falls of Balgy’ hike we went on.FoodOn our first night, we dined in the splendour of the 3 AARosette 1887 fine-dining restaurant where the décor is suitablyrefined. The five-course, set menu was delicious and headchef Paul Green wows with the best local produce. On thesecond evening, crowd-pleasing dishes were the order ofthe day at the hotel’s casual eatery, Bo & Muc restaurant.Neighbouring Beinn Bar serves local ales and Scottish gins,including The Torridon’s own gin, Arcturus. After dinner, besure to check out the Whisky Bar. It’s a cosy, welcoming roomwith over 350 whiskies and a fair few gins too. Bar staff arevery knowledgeable and can guide you through the whiskies tofind the perfect dram for you.•THE TORRIDON“ ”Our verdictFor all the wonderful food and activities, It’s The Torridon’ssetting that sticks in the mind. Those staggering hills anddramatic skies, it all gets under your skin and is the starattraction.Page 97Winter 2021.indd 97 09/11/2021 15:23:59
