Owd Nell's at The Thatched Hamlet

Part of the award-winning James’ Places collection, ‘Owd Nell’s at the Thatched Hamlet offers a relaxed countryside escape in the heart of rural Lancashire. Set alongside the Lancaster Canal in Bilsborrow, it provides the perfect base for exploring the surrounding countryside, charming market towns and nearby attractions, before returning to enjoy great food, drinks and warm Lancashire hospitality.

'Owd Nell's is now welcoming overnight guests with a small selection of clean, comfortable ensuite bedrooms. While the accommodation has not yet undergone refurbishment as investment continues across the wider site, each room offers everything you need for a relaxing stay in a unique canalside setting.

Whether you're planning a walking break, cycling the canal towpaths, visiting nearby villages such as Garstang and Scorton, or discovering the historic city of Lancaster just a short drive away, ‘Owd Nell’s is ideally placed to explore the very best of Lancashire. The Forest of Bowland National Landscape, Beacon Fell Country Park and the Fylde Coast are also all within easy reach.

After a day of exploring, unwind in the characterful tavern, where you'll find hearty home-cooked food, stone-baked pizzas, local ales and a welcoming atmosphere. During the warmer months, enjoy drinks or dinner beside the canal, making the most of one of Lancashire's most distinctive countryside settings.

As part of the James’ Places family of award-winning hospitality venues, ‘Owd Nell’s continues to evolve, with exciting plans for the future while retaining the charm and character that have made it a favourite destination for generations.
