Hotel Review
The Lowry
Manchester

The Lowry Hotel was one of the best we’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. We couldn’t say enough kind things about the outstanding staff in this hotel. They were attentive to all of our needs and we felt like we were part of the Lowry family. The rooms were outstanding and every detail was perfect. We especially appreciated the delicious pastries that were delivered on our first evening. The location was also ideal in that it was a quick walk to shopping and restaurants.

I would say that the staff at the Lowry were the most attentive of any hotel I’ve stayed in.

Rachel designed an incredible trip for me, my husband, and my 6 year old son. She provided great advice on what to do and what to avoid. (For example, she told us not to take the train from Edinburgh to London, as it wasn’t the experience we thought it would be.) I would certainly use her again to plan another trip. Read more

Didn’t love this- the guide seemed to be in a rush to be done with us. The scenery wasn’t that great and we didn’t see any animals, so we would skip this next time

Had a wonderful trip despite the cold, wet weather. Alex was very helpful planning and then making sure things on our trip went as smoothly as possible. I really appreciated the fact that she kept in touch during the trip and continued to help us with reservations. Our guide Craig was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, flexible to meet the entire groups needs, and had a great bedside manner. Would definitely use both of these fine people again!

Alex was great in planning our trip and taking care of all the details. We truly just walked off the plane and met our guide and had nothing to worry about until we were driven to the airport for our return trip.
Craig was a wonderful guide gave us many options on what we would prefer to do and shared his knowledge of his country’s history with a refreshing passion.
Our accommodations were all very good and each one was unique. Our favorite was the Broad Bay House.. Very picturesque, quiet and the food was amazing!
Overall I wouldn’t change a thing about the trip.
