New Lanark Mill Hotel

Evening meals were tasty and wholesome.

Location was wonderful, room quite spacious very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the tour and the historic information about the setting up of New Lanark. Easy to get to Lanark for the station or a look round the town. Staff polite and helpful.

Fantastic location in a superb historical setting. Reception staff were great, reception/lounge area really nice with grand piano and spiral stairs to dining area, very tastefully decorated. Bedroom was fabulous - very spacious and well fitted out, ensuite likewise. Gorgeous looking pool and spa area - unfortunately, not enough time to sample it! Evening meal was excellent - more than ample portion size and very tasty!

Enjoyed our first stay at this hotel so we returned for another overnight visit on a trip to Scotland, as it’s handily situated not too far from the motorway and has both comfort and character. The heritage & history of the buildings and the walk through the wooded valley to the nearby falls make for a special location. Staff were helpful and courteous and the food was excellent. There was a wedding reception taking place downstairs on the evening of our visit so we even had a piano accompaniment to our meal. The hotel has a spa and pool: be aware that if you use the facilities in the afternoon, chances are you’ll be sharing the pool with little ones from a local swim club (not an issue for us but some guests may prefer a morning dip for a more peaceful spa experience) We would happily return to this hotel; it’s slightly more expensive than we would ordinarily pay for an overnight visit but certainly worth it for a special experience (keep an eye out for stay & dine offers). The hotel building is of a size and scale which suggests there are hundreds of bedrooms but in reality there are only a handful; it felt very peaceful during our stay.

The view from the room. The hotel looks like colditz from a distance and doesn't get any better close up. Being hewn from a working mill from yesteryear it is part of UNESCO world Heritage site and if you get past that then the hotel is an ok hotel.I wouldn't write home about it but it served a purpose for us on the way to Lochness. The staff if you could find them at times seemed to work hard however we used the hotel twice once going up to Lochness and on the return,the return was not the best of the two stays due to a malfunction of the door locks on a key card. The staff were running around everywhere letting people into their rooms which was not conducive to good service. It appeared on questioning that an oversight of something or another led to this failure.Im sure it's now fixed. The evening meals were good enough but again nothing to write home about and the breakfast (a full Scottish) that I had a mouse would have enjoyed it and just been full up on it,but for me a big disappointment as the cost of the room including breakfast was £147 a night. Value for money? no I don't think so 🤔. The staff however did their jobs well enough and attentive
