My colleague and I stayed when we were visiting a client nearby. The rooms were generally comfy and clean, but my colleague's room was very cold and the bed in my room really needs a new mattress - it has a visible dent on the side nearest the door and I could feel the springs! Access and communication was good.

Enjoyed a gorgeous meal tonight with visitors from Australia. Easy to book table on website, very warm welcome from Manager and waiting staff were attentive and pleasant. Food came quickly and was super tasty especially the pumpkin cheesecake. Decor is beautiful especially in the brasserie which has comfy booth sections. Would highly recommend!

Good quality food in nice surroundings. Strangely the ‘discretionary’ service charge was applied without mention (and therefore option to pay’ , and was also applied to drinks purchased directly at the bar and not through a serving assistant. No problem about paying a service charge but it didn’t appear completely above board and transparent. Come on guys, sort this out.

Lovely room stayed in the king deluxe, very clean and cosy. Lovely big bathroom .All staff made us welcome , the Owner and Michael so helpful and Katie our waitress was so sweet and had a smile each time she came to our table. Large choice of food we had the Torfin burger and Tartan burger and both delicious . Will definitely come again

Very nice food, and a decent selection of drinks but pipes could do with a bit of a cleaning more regularly for their draught.Table selection is good if you're eating but if you just want a drink it's very limited and cramped. So overall it's a great place for food, decent for a drink but they're let down with a few simple cleaning tasks and better seating for drinks only.

Went for food, last minute and on the off chance of a table. Great food, one Gluten and dairy free burger and one regular kids burger meal. All hot, fresh made and super tasty! Service was excellent 👌 always loved this place and fabulous at catering for allergies and super fussy kids- a good local establishment 😀

My god 😁😀I should add that, the hotel have very cozy rooms and they are very well decorated.Cheers from french tourists. We hope more people will stop by your restaurant / pub.

Very friendly, they made us feel very comfortable. The shower in the room, just as the man who attended us told us, was wonderful. Very warm, quiet, clean and tasteful. Everything you need to have a pleasant stay.

I stayed here last weekend for the Taylor Swift Concert..The Room was immaculate and very comfortable. The only regret I had was not booking for longer!The staff were all amazing! And they definately go the extra mile with their Pre Parties!! 🥳👌🤩Outside BBQ and a Cider in the Sun before the concert was something I didn't know that I needed 😆🤣I was amazed to find out that they have a menu for your dog!!!Highly recommend 👌👍👏

My family and I were staying in the area and found The Torfin for our dinner spot. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was a lovely environment and the location was great. I had the Mac N Cheese and it was one of the best I had in Scotland. The rest of my family enjoyed their selections and we would definitely return.
