Fingal voted one of the Top 10 Best Small Hotels in the UK

The 2023 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards are based on the quality and quantity of traveller reviews and ratings posted on TripAdvisor over the 12-month period from 1st January to 31st December 2022.

In guest reviews, the restaurant and concierge service were the most frequently mentioned highlights of a stay on Fingal.

Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best are awarded to less than 1% of Tripadvisor’s 8 million listings.

Launched in 2019, the former Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) tender was developed by the award-winning team at The Royal Yacht Britannia. Fingal is now a world-class foodie destination with all the glamour and style of a superyacht, but with an air of old-world Art Deco luxury ocean liner elegance.

Commenting on Fingal’s continued award success, General Manager, Andrew Thomson, said:

“It’s an honour for us to have been recognised by our guests as ‘Best of the Best’ in Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards for the fourth consecutive year. Our team is committed to offering a world-class visitor experience for all our guests.”

Open to non-residents for Afternoon Tea, dinner and cocktails, Fingal’s Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar offers a choice of self-contained private dining booths for small pre-booked groups. Fingal’s 22 luxury cabins are each named after Stevenson lighthouses, inspired by Fingal’s rich maritime heritage. The ship is now the ultimate in luxury accommodation and dining with a nautical twist.
