We recently booked The Torrance for a 60th birthday night. Just a quick message to say thank you for such a great evening. Food buffet had plenty on offer, and was a big hit with our guests. …

Stayed in the Stewart suite and it was an amazing room. Downstairs was a comfy bed and bathroom. It has a coffee machine along with a normal kettle so plenty of choice.  …

The hotel staff made us feel very inclusive and comfortable throughout the lead up and the day of the wedding. They were even happy to include the iconic singer pink and never had any issues with anything we requested. Great organisers very professional and game for a laugh went above and beyond to make our day special.

We had our wedding at the Torrance 24/03/2024.We cannot thank them enough for absolutely everything on our wedding day! They had 4 weddings back to back that weekend and with a couple members of staff off sick they done an amazing job of making sure everything went to plan. I have absolutely no faults or complaints! Special thanks to their staff members Anya, Paula and Dana for all the help they provided during the day.The venue is so beautiful, the rooms are amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. We have had so so many compliments from our wedding guests about the food and how amazing the venue is.Their suppliers used for flowers and cakes as part of the packages are so good as-well. The DJ that works for the Torrance at events was so brilliant too!Genuinely the best day and cannot thank the Torrance enough for making it all happen!

Sadly, I have to say a very poor experience. Being charged £3.20 for a pint of Milk, with other poor experiences over the 2 days and to top off, unable to discuss or sort bill out because no one on reception when leaving hotel. …
