Harden's survey result
Summary
This Victorian gothic shooting lodge-turned-boutique hotel benefits from a “stunning setting” by Loch Torridon. Its contemporary-style restaurant, 1887, offers a “very well presented menu”, but while many reports praise some “wonderful dishes” and “very good cooking”, some diners found it “disappointing” or encountered “limited availability” of dishes this year. As of October 2022, you have to stay to sample the food here as it’s currently residents-only (unless you head for tea, coffee and cake in the Beinn Bar).
Summary
“The setting overlooking a sea-loch is incredible, awe-inspiring” at this “Victorian wood-panelled shooting lodge-cum-boutique hotel looking out over the razor’s edges of the Torridon massif”: “there are few locations this special...”. Reports this year tended to focus on meals away from the main dining room: “afternoon tea makes for a truly memorable occasion…”, “we ate dinner at the Bo & Muc café attached as we didn’t want a full menu, but the service and attention were second to none”. If you go the whole hog you can enjoy the contemporary 1887 dining room. There was the odd off report, but without further in a similar vein we’ve accounted for it as a blip.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
