We all really enjoyed the walk 🚶🏾‍♀️the scenery 🌲🌿🍃🍁🍂 absolutely beautiful 😍 I will definitely re visit in the summertime 😀 · via Google [Jan, from Cape Town](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113090170230567562291/reviews) ★★★★★ 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! · via Google [Renato Bondonno](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110590784881268286283/reviews) ★★★★★ 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. · via Google [Jagoda Czuplak](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116972163251126020089/reviews) ★★★★★ 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. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48880e562e875053:0x85d2928232ec019!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this heritage site offers a fascinating glimpse into history with well-preserved buildings, working looms, and an engaging "Annie McLeod experience" ride.
