A FAMILY-RUN holiday park near Edinburgh has ranked among the best in the world after winning a prestigious award.
Linwater Caravan Park in the village of Newbridge, 12 miles west of the Scottish capital, was named in this year's Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards – with the accolade given based on consistently high reviews on the travel site.
The family firm, which was founded in 1998 by the Guinan family, was listed among the top 10% of hospitality businesses worldwide.
Open all year round, the holiday park offers holidaymakers pitches for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and tents, alongside a range of self-catering holiday lodges and static caravans.
The site also boasts a fully equipped camper's kitchen, an onsite shop, a dog walking area and a playpark.
Katie Guinan, owner of Linwater Caravan Park, welcomed the award saying it is “incredibly rewarding” knowing guests enjoy their stay at the site.
She said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for 2025.
“This recognition means so much to us as a small, family-run business, and it’s a real credit to the hardworking and dedicated team we have here.
“We pour our hearts into this place, and it’s incredibly rewarding to know our guests value what we do.
“Since opening our doors in 1998, we’ve remained committed to offering a warm welcome, high-quality facilities, and peaceful surroundings for our guests.
“Whether visitors are pitching up on our touring site, enjoying a self-catering stay, or planning to stay in our luxurious lodges, our aim is always the same - to help people make happy holiday memories in comfort and tranquillity.”
The park announced it is set to unveil a new static caravan terrace after pouring £200,000 into the project.
The family said it will transform a previously unused area into a “stunning accommodation space,” featuring two new luxury lodges and six brand-new static caravans.
