  • "We stayed at the cottage for two weeks over Christmas and New Year."

    We really, really enjoyed it! Our dog loved the entclosed garden. One has just to step out the door and can walk to the shore of Loch Torridon and take the path to the village. Breathtaking views from all windows. The deer are so very close and after asking the ranger we could feed them. Such a wonderful experience! The cottage is beautifully decorated, the beds are comfy, the kitchen well equipped, it is warm... The wood burners workes as they should do. So we had lots of cosy winter evenings. All people we met while walking the dog had been sooo very nice. Especially the neighbors were very kind, helpful and friendly. All in one, not only the cottage and the breathtaking scenery made our holidays at this cottage unforgettable but the people as well.

  • "We really enjoyed our three week stay."

    Everything was 'ship shape' and the couple - Andrew and his wife - changed bedding, towels etc, which was fine. If anything had to be said, then they are just wee trifles. A) a small tray in the shower, for holding soap and shampoo, would nae go amiss. B) my wife - and this is a little 'heavier' on the budget - though that a clothes drier might come in handy. Apart frrom that, everything was perfect. Thankyou one and all for making our stay so enjoyable. Yours aye - Julian Hutchings

  • "Fantastic location and a cottage with character."

    Had everything you needed (except replacement bins bags and bins have to be emptied a good half mile away) beds were comfortable, powerful shower, good sized bedrooms. Garden was fully fenced in which was great for the dog - although he and the deer (it surrounded by a deer farm) kept playing who is the toughest starer competition! Wi-Fi intermittent and no phone signal . Had a very enjoyable week.

  • "2 rings on the cooker hob did not work, we did report this to the warden and the installation manual for the cooker was for a different make and model."

    When we used the washing machine, it did not take the soap powder into the drum so had to stop machine and add it manually. I think this is an old problem as we found soap powder that had clumped into a solid lump in the dispenser when we 1st tried to use it. Otherwise beds and other facilities fine. Front door lock a little tricky to work at first but fine when you get the hang of it. Beautiful scenery all around but sadly spoilt by the persistent rain.

    New cooker and washing machine now supplied at Stalkers. Property Owner

  • "This cottage was the perfect choice for our holiday, some parts modern and some more traditional."

    The scenery is stunning from every window and having deer just outside the property every day was a real treat. We had everything we needed for a great two weeks. Our only disappointment was having to leave such a beautiful spot, we will be back.

    Many thanks you for kind words, we are really lucky at the National Trust for Scotland to look after some of the most spectacular locations, castles and mansion houses. Property Owner

    Well-equipped, it’s location is stunning and the deer come running to greet you. Torridon Estate is well maintained and the walks are wonderful. All the people we met were friendly too.

  • "Fantastic location close to shoreline and pleasant short walks alongside stunning mountains."

    Great for our dog. Spacious property. Double bed a bit lumpy and some of the kitchen utensils could do with updating, knives more cups. Family next door next door are friendly and helpful. Children would love to feed the deer. Would definitely return.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. Just to update you, we have new mattresses due for delivery at the end of this month for both cottages in Torridon and have plans to upgrade the soft furnishings. Property Owner

Sitting within the striking landscape of Torridon amidst the enchanting beauty of the Scottish countryside, are these two secluded National Trust for Scotland properties. Boasting glimpses of unique wildlife habitats and offering magical stargazing opportunities in the enchanting dark skies, both of these countryside cottages offer a memorable, remote getaway at any time of the year. This area of the Highlands is an enticing spot for hikers, climbers and nature loves, steeped in history, geology and wildlife throughout mounds of unspoilt scenery and the uncompromising terrain of five of the National Trust for Scotland’s 46 munros, including Beinn Alligin, which translates to ‘jewelled hill’ in Gaelic.
