The Old Hat Factory

Lancaster, North West England

The Old Hat Factory
Tucked away in Lancaster, The Old Hat Factory is a cosy cottage well suited to a couple looking for a quiet base with easy access into the city. There's a bus stop close by, so you needn't rely on the car to get around, and Lancaster station is just 3.4 miles off if you'd rather arrive by train.

Spend an afternoon at the Ruskin Library or head to Lancaster City Museum to delve into local history, while the Butterfly House and Mini Zoo makes for a pleasant outing too. When it's time to eat, Greggs is handy for a quick bite, or settle in for a proper meal at The Wobbly Cobbler.
