Bed was good and again very comfortable. Very impressed with the quality of cutlery and crockery. The only thing on the downside was after a 322 mile journey there were no toilet rolls? No shops in the area to buy anything and had to travel approximately 25 miles to find an open shop on a Sunday.

We enjoyed the dramatic landscape and warm comfortable accommodation. Itâs about 10 mins walk along the loch shore to Torridon village with a good community store. The Wi-Fi is fine in the lounge and you can stream programs on the TV. Would recommend providing a second drying rack - perhaps even a heated one. Had a great time exploring the local area and would love to return.

Lovely to have a herd of deer at the front and highland cows to the rear. Very nice to be able to stroll down to the loch, or continue on to the village. Garden nice and secure for the dog. I agree with a previous reviewer that the property really needs a tumble drier or at the least an indoor drying rack. The weather was not good when we stayed and, travelling with children, I needed to get a few items washed and dried. Please be aware when booking that this is in a pretty remote location. 8 miles to the nearest garage, over 40 miles to the nearest town and vets. I made the mistake when booking this of simply looking at the apparent proximity of places like Skye and Ullapool on the map, not considering for one minute that the roads to get there, meandering past lochs and over mountains meant that what would be a 30 minute journey where I live in Devon is a 90 minute one from Torridon.
