The hotel is hidden away in the hills of the Scottish Lowlands. It is amazingly quiet there. You will see cows, dogs and rabbits and much more. It was the perfect summers day afternoon strolling around the grassland and woodland area until we finally were ready for our afternoon tea in the backyard whilst sunbathing. About the afternoon tea...... It was ok. Not much on the trier plates but plenty to leave with a happy face and full belly. Or was it the bubblies that came along with the cakes and egg/tuna sandwiches? The scones were excellent. They did not fall apart. I found them soft and juicy. They offered tea or coffee with the afternoon tea and on this occasion we got clotted cream, strawberry and raspberry jam. The service was slow on the off take. Tea came fast, but the sandwiches took half an hour. Still, it was worth the wait. The weather was so nice that we missed out on the spa facilities. Why would you want to ensure inside on a sunny day like this? Anyway, next time...... The hotel seems quite popular. Lots of guests arriving. No wonder, as the location and the hotel surroundings are perfect, if you plan to hide away from the world.......

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 I stayed in a family room which we got at a reduced price because the room was quite outdated and due to be refurbished.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.

Walking in, I was instantly in awe of the beautiful golf course and the lineup of Bentleys and Rolls Royces casually parked out front. Talk about arriving in style! And the cherry on top?

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

The restaurant space is fantastic, it's like a grand ballroom and is just a lovely place to sit and have a meal. With social distancing measures in place, there are fewer tables than they probably would have, so you are practically guaranteed a peaceful evening. We found the menu, although not extensive, had enough variety to cope with most diets, and they are always willing to adapt to your particular needs. Portions were just right - meaning we could manage the full three courses! Staff were courteous, friendly and chatty, and made us feel very welcome.
