TripAdvisor has announced the winners of its 2023 Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Hotel Awards and four Scottish destinations are included.
Ahead of summer, the travel website revealed the very best hotels in the world, according to ratings on its website. Analysing 12 months of review data from over 1.5 million hotels, TripAdvisor found that many Scottish hotels and B&Bs rank among the highest in the UK and beyond.
Among the categories in the awards that include Scottish spots are top hotels, top luxury hotels, top small hotels, and top B&Bs. Scotland saw particular success in the latter, with the Torlinnhe Guest House in Fort William being named the 11th best B&B in the world.
Located at the foot of Ben Nevis in the North West Highlands, the guest house boasts views of Loch Linne and the Ardgour hills. With over 1,000 ‘excellent’ reviews on TripAdvisor, it also ranks fifth in the UK and seventh in Europe.
Owners of the Torlinnhe Guest House Larisa and Mark Rossi commented: "We are delighted to be featured in TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Hotel Awards for 2023. We would like to thank our customers, new and returning, for their continuous support and feedback.
"We strive for our guests to have the best experience possible in Scotland, and our B&B, providing them with cosy and comfortable rooms and home made food."
Meanwhile, the family-run Green Park Hotel in Pitlochry ranks 12th in the UK’s overall top hotels for 2023. Situated approximately 30 miles from Perth, guests at the hotel have singled out its staff and and food as "second to none".
Additionally, Scotland saw multiple winners across the top luxury Hotels and top small hotels categories. Ivybank Lodge in Blairgowrie and Glencoe House in Glencoe both appeared in the UK top 10 for the former, placing at fourth and sixth respectively.
In the Top Small Hotels category, Tigh na Sgiath Country House Hotel in the hamlet of Skye of Curr, Ivybank Lodge, Glenshieling House in Blairgowrie, and Fingal in Edinburgh all place in the top 10 for the UK, at fifth, sixth, ninth, and tenth respectively.
