The 16th century Longhouse, which has now been split into the Farmhouse, Cottage and Hayloft has been in the Wenner family for over 50 years, gradually evolving into what it is today. The Lakehouse, a truly unique labour of love, really reflects the Laythams ethos of living sustainably and within nature.
A perfect solace for those who need wide open spaces, quiet starry evenings and plenty of good walks! We cannot wait to meet you, and share all the things that make Laythams so special to us!
