Haddington Named One of Scotland’s Best Places to Retire – and Hilton Lodge Shines as a Standout Care Home

Haddington has been recognised as one of the best places to retire in Scotland, according to a new report from Lottie.org, a leading care home comparison and advice platform. The report highlights the town’s peaceful surroundings, strong sense of community, and excellent access to care and wellbeing services — all key factors that make it one of Scotland’s top retirement destinations.

Among the homes featured in the ranking, Lottie singled out Hilton Lodge Care Home, part of the Mansfield Care Group, as one of the best care homes in Haddington. The recognition reinforces Hilton Lodge’s reputation for exceptional, person-centred care in a warm and homely environment.

“We’re proud to see Haddington celebrated for its quality of life, and even prouder that Hilton Lodge was recognised among the best in the region,” said Maria Pritchard, Manager at Hilton Lodge. “Our team is dedicated to creating a real sense of belonging for residents, where every day is filled with comfort, connection, and meaningful moments.”
