Set beside the peaceful waters of the Lancaster Canal at Conder Green, Pyes Mill Hotel is a place where heritage, hospitality, and contemporary comfort come together. The story of the mill begins around 1740, when it was built as a working water-powered mill drawing its strength from the nearby River Conder. Over the centuries, the mill played an important role in the local rural economy, later becoming closely connected with the development of the canal in the early 19th century. During this period, the mill was substantially rebuilt and operated by the Pye family — a name that lives on today in Pyes Mill.

Carefully restored and reimagined, the historic stone building is now home to Pyes Mill Hotel, offering a welcoming retreat with characterful rooms and views across the canal and surrounding countryside. 

At its heart sits 1740 Bar & Kitchen, named in honour of the mill’s origins. Here, relaxed dining meets warm hospitality, celebrating seasonal ingredients and honest cooking in a setting shaped by nearly three centuries of history. 

Just steps from the water’s edge, The Locks Venue provides a distinctive space for weddings, celebrations, and special events. Overlooking the canal locks that once powered the mill’s industry, it blends historic charm with modern elegance — a memorable setting shaped by the past and designed for today. Together, Pyes Mill Hotel, 1740 Bar & Kitchen, and The Locks Venue honour the site’s working-mill heritage while offering a refined, welcoming destination for guests, diners, and celebrations alike.

Our Ethos 

At Pyes Mill Hotel, hospitality is rooted in the same principles that have shaped this place for centuries: care, craft, and community. We believe great hospitality is personal. From the moment you arrive, our team is focused on making every stay, meal, or celebration feel genuinely welcoming, unhurried, and thoughtfully delivered. Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed lunch at 1740 Bar & Kitchen, a peaceful overnight stay, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration at The Locks Venue, our aim is always the same — to make you feel at home. 

Our Values
