Wester Ross Victorian-era lodge named as Scotland’s Hotel of the Year
A WESTER Ross Victorian-era hotel has been named as Scotland’s Hotel of the Year by The Times.
The Torridon, on the west Highland coast, is a five-star luxury hotel set amongst breath-taking Wester Ross landscape.
As a part of their 100 Best Places to Stay in the UK for 2025 list, The Times not only featured The Torridon, but also named it as Scotland’s Hotel of the Year.

In their description of the hotel, The Times said: “The Torridon is a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Inverness — and about 150 years in the past. This turreted Victorian pile, with its wood-panelled hall and mounted stags’ heads, will hold you in a nostalgic embrace from the second you enter. Then there’s the screensaver-worthy Highland view: an impossibly blue loch backed by a trinity of mighty butter-yellow mountains.
“Interiors feel traditional — but never stuffy — and on your doorstep are deer-filled forests and mossy Munros that beckon for high-octane hikes. Such aerobic effort deserves epicurean rewards. The Torridon delivers with a snug pub and brasserie for beers and burgers, a fabulous fine-dining restaurant for dress-up dinners and a cocktail bar whose 365 single malts and 80-plus gins have likely ruined many a best-laid plan for the morning.”
