Houstoun House in West Lothian has been named one of the UK’s top-rated hotels in Tripadvisor’s 2025 Traveller’s Choice Awards.
The four-star hotel, part of the Macdonald Hotels & Resorts group, received the recognition following a year of consistently strong reviews from guests. The annual awards are based on feedback posted by verified travellers on Tripadvisor over a 12-month period.
Guests praised Houstoun House for its grounds, setting and service, with mentions for its scenic woodland location, landscaped gardens, attentive staff and food quality.
Andrew Boe, General Manager at Houstoun House, said, “As the world’s largest travel guidance platform, Tripadvisor has unparalleled authority with travellers and diners. As such, it’s a privilege to be recognised in this manner, based on reviews and ratings collected throughout the year.
“This award is testament to the care and quality we live by here at Houstoun House, and we look forward to welcoming more guests through our doors this summer.”
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts operates more than 30 properties across the UK, including hotels, spas and golf resorts. Its portfolio stretches from Aviemore in the Highlands to the New Forest in southern England.
