Three Yorkshire hotels named among the best in the country at Boutique Hotel Awards 2025
Three hotels in Yorkshire have been named among the top 50 in the country in the latest Boutique Hotel Awards.
Middleton Lodge Estate, in North Yorkshire, solidified its place in the top 10 this year, moving up three places to seventh compared to last year. The estate was also given the food and drink award at the event, thanks in part to its restaurant Forge, which holds both a Michelin Star and Michelin Green Star.
Another luxury hotel with a Michelin star is Grantley Hall, in Ripon, which came 14th in the list, while Manor House Lindley, near Huddersfield, was 38th in the top 50 list.
The Top 50 Boutique Hotels list is compiled through votes cast by more than 200 hospitality and travel experts, including hotel operators, editors, travel writers and suppliers.
The list is entirely merit-based, with no applications or paid entries, ensuring hotels are recognised solely for the quality of their offering.
Middleton Lodge Estate owner, James Allison said, “To be recognised as number seven in the Top 50 Boutique Hotels is something we are all very proud of. Moving up three places this year is a real credit to the hard work of our team. I’m so grateful to have the team that we do.
“They bring such joy and personality to the estate, and it’s a pleasure to work alongside them and to see the family environment they’ve created.
“The Food and Drink Award feels particularly special. It highlights the dedication of our Head Chefs, Jake Jones and Ross Forder, and the way they work so closely with our gardeners and growers to bring our estate-to-plate ethos into everything we do.
“Their care, creativity and commitment to the estate come through in every menu at Forge and The Coach House. It has been a meaningful moment for all of us, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with the team and our guests.”
