Pet friendly accommodation. Outstanding bed and breakfast overlooking Loch Ness near Drumnadrochit and the Great Glen Way in the heart of the Scottish Highlands!

"Probably the best B&B in Scotland!"
(Jane MacDonald, New York)

(Original testimonial available)

Why are we the best? Don't take our word for it. This is what Jon Smith from Sleaford in Lincolnshire had to say about Torran B&B in his recent Trip Advisor review:

"Mike and Linda were incredibly friendly hosts and both greeted us when we arrived. As they have just one couple or group staying at a time, it felt like they invited us into their home, more than just staying at a B&B. The cleanliness and service was second to none, only exceeded by Mike’s legendary fruit salad. If for no other reason, you need to stay just for the fruit salad at breakfast.

The location was superb, just a short car journey from Drumnadrochit, and had spectacular views over the Glen and Loch Ness. All that was needed to experience wonderful countryside was to step out of the door where acres were available for our dog to freely roam. Facilities for dog owners are excellent and Mike and Linda made us feel at home, giving our dog as much freedom as we had.

If you are looking for excellent service, outstanding location and a truly dog friendly place to stay then Torran House is the place to be..."

People love coming to Torran because we treat them as friends, not as customers and we try to give them the best possible welcome, accommodation, food and service, based on what we ourselves would expect from a top class B&B. We offer totally pet friendly accommodation. Our aim is to offer exceptional value for money and we never cut corners to achieve that aim. Who knows, you might see the Loch Ness Monster too!

What is Torran?

Torran House is a former gamekeeper’s cottage, recently modernized and extended, set on a mountain 250m (825') above mysterious Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland and surrounded by wild Scottish moorland, teeming with wildlife - everything, in fact, except the Loch Ness Monster itself! Dogs and owners can roam for miles but be careful - this is sheep country!

The house is the family home of Mike and Linda Johnson, their 2 dogs and 2 cats. Linda is a full-time teacher and Mike, a retired business manager, looks after the B&B. The dogs are two very friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Torran Moor is directly accessible for dog walking

Below Torran, nestling in Glen Urquhart is the village of Drumnadrochit, 15 miles south of Inverness, capital of the Highlands. Drumnadrochit is the centre of Loch Ness Monster research and blessed with a good choice of inns and restaurants.

The Location of Torran

The Great Glen Way

The Great Glen Way passes along the A82 at the bottom of the hill leading up to Torran and sometimes a 250m climb after a long day's walk is not attractive. However, for those who are not purists, a relatively level track leads from Torran across the hills to join the Way just north of Achpopuli Farm (NH 546 344) at an altitude of about 350m. If you are a purist but don't fancy the climb after your day's trek, we will always be happy to pick you up from the village and drop you again next day at the precise spot at which you interrupted your walk - no charge for the taxi service, either.
