I stayed in room 1 of The New Lanark Mill hotel from 2 - 6 July 2026. Very comfortable room right above the Clyde River. I had peaceful sleep every night. A good breakfast was served every morning. Excellent service from the front desk staff!

An interesting place, lots of history and an informative "ride". There's a fair bit of walking up and down ramps to get to the various floors, but there are lifts too in some areas. The owners house gave a fascinating insight, never realised he started the Co-op movement. Only the old school classroom was a little disappointing.

A beautifully maintained World Heritage Site. Great information about the village provided throughout. We only came for a short visit so did not enter the museum/paid attractions, but the visitor centre and gift shop were lovely, clean, and had a great selection of reasonably priced souvenirs. The only downside were the building works going on while we visited, which were somewhat noisy and lots of scaffolding obstructed some of the beautiful buildings.

They also highlight the stunning natural beauty of the Falls of Clyde and the surrounding walks. Guests mention the friendly and helpful staff, delicious food in the cafe, and the overall good value.
