We had our wedding here last year, and I must say that after a few hiccups they really pulled the…read morestops out and were excellent. New Lanark is a village designed by Robert Owen, an industrial revolutionary who wanted to give his workers a safe place to live and work and to halt the exploitation of children. He ran mills which have now been converted into an interactive museum, a visitor centre and a hotel. We booked the hotel for our wedding reception (we had the meal in the function room in the hotel then moved over to the Institute in the Vistor Centre for the ceilidh as there was more room). Had a few worries because there is a noise limiter in the hotel function room and there was the possibilty that one may be installed in the Institute room and our band wouldnt play if there was one , but that didnt come to anything. They also cocked up some of the room bookings for our guests who were staying, but all of the staff were extremely apologetic and gave us room upgrades and smoothed everything out. On they day though, they were excellent. I can totally recommend Lee, who made the day run like clockwork and also Helen at the Institute for being so accommodating and for putting on a fab spread for our evening guests! The food was very good, much better than I expected from a hotel wedding with 120 odd guests having a sit down meal (it should have been good given the price, but I often think that wedding food in that kind of venue can be mediocre at best!) The wedding packages as always were quite expenisve so we just paid per head for the meal. We transported some of our flowers from the church windows to use as centrepieces for the tables, we had our own piper, we didnt bother with different coloured linen, we brought our own wine and paid corkage (bought from the Wine Society), so we managed to save a bit on the package which had stuff in it we didnt need or want. I must say though that they were really flexible with substituing and negociating the packages, so if you had your own piper you could swap to include canapes or something of similar "value". We just had too many things ourselved to warrent the package and to warrent the substitutions. Wonderful day - ran like clockwork (though I did end up being a little late!) but thoroughly recommend NLM

Great hotel in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are an average size, most if not all with views…read moreover the falls. As for the food, nothing short of fantastic, also very reasonably priced. very friendly helpful staff

I stayed at this hotel as part of a tour last month. We had a group of about 37 students and…read moreteachers with us. This hotel was perfect for our needs while on our way to Edinburgh. The hotel is located near a small town so if nightlife is your thing, this is not your hotel. It's perfect, however, for a romantic getaway or a place where your teenagers won't get into trouble. The grounds surrounding the hotel are very pretty. There's a little creek with footbridges at the back, and lots of space for kids to enjoy a game of football. If it didn't rain like crazy in Scotland, I'd also say it's a beautiful place to hold a family wedding. The bar inside the hotel is cozy and friendly with a few locals stopping in for a pint. The service was excellent as well. Although I didn't try the restaurant, they did appear to have a nice menu. The best part about this hotel was that it was very well priced. I look forward to returning without teenagers in tow.

Second stay at this delightful country house hotel. We were supposed to be going on a hot air…read moreballoon flight but it was cancelled both times. This time we made a weekend of it & celebrated my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary there. It was a small family dinner, 11 of us. The staff were fantastic & looked after us very well. We booked on a dinner B&B basis & the staff even headed the menu with Mr & Mrs Mc. Golden Wedding Anniversary Dinner. We couldn't have asked for more & the food was great. Some of the bedrooms are a bit tired but I get the feeling that they are slowly refurbishing. If you want a nice quiet break & to be looked after I can't recommend this place enough. Go for one of the executive rooms!

The outside of the hotel is very beautiful and inside, the hotel is being refurbished. I stayed in a family room which we got at a reduced price because the room was quite outdated and due to be refurbished. The room was large and had a very comfy bed. The room had a great layout; the two single beds were further down the room and were separated by a curtain giving more privacy. Our deal included breakfast and I enjoyed the choice; fry-ups, toast, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and pastries. Unfortunately the croissants I had were warm on the outside and a tad soggy in the middle. Breakfast was good but the quality wasn't amazing. At night, you could buy a drink at the bar and sit beside the cosy fire on comfy sofas and chairs which made the hotel a winner in my eyes as I hate being stuck in a hotel room all night. Gin lovers will be happy to know that they have a huge list of gins - there's a little greenhouse in the bar area where they show all the gins they have on offer. Outside the hotel, they had chickens and a bee hive as well as an outdoor giant chess board and small golf area. In the hotel, they have a kids play group and you can hire bikes. If the quality of breakfast had been better, I would've given it 5 stars.

Beautiful, old place in good shape. It gives the true feeling of a historic spa hotel, and has…read moresuperb food. We had a group BBQ dinner and I was impressed about the simplicity and yet perfection of all the dishes they prepared for us. The lamb, especially, was delicious.
