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!

The Hayloft sleeps 2 and is a romantic hideaway with cosy, stylish interiors, an enclosed dog friendly garden featuring a large hot tub, hammock, festoon lighting, and panoramic Ribble Valley countryside views. Perfect for couples seeking peace, privacy, and a memorable escape, it offers an intimate, boutique-style atmosphere with eco-friendly comforts and thoughtful touches throughout. The Farmhouse sleeps 8, with spacious bedrooms, a log-burner lounge, an open-plan kitchen, and a games room with pool table and darts board, making it ideal for family holidays or friend getaways. Large windows frame stunning countryside views, while the warm, welcoming interiors create the perfect space for shared meals, movie nights, or relaxing together after exploring the countryside. The Cottage sleeps 5, offering traditional charm, modern amenities, and peaceful surroundings. A generous master bedroom looks across to Burn Fell, while living areas are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished for small families or friends seeking a calm, countryside retreat. All three properties can now be internally connected to form a single exclusive-use Longhouse for up to 15 guests, perfect for multi-generational family stays, celebrations, or group retreats. Guests enjoy a balance of spacious communal areas and private bedrooms, with gardens and outdoor spaces ideal for relaxation, socialising, or enjoying the hot tub under the stars. The Lakehouse sleeps 7 and is a stunning off-grid barn conversion set in private woodland and beside a tranquil lake. Featuring a hot tub, sauna, open-plan living, and spacious bedrooms, it provides a luxurious, eco-friendly retreat immersed in nature. Booked together with the Longhouse, Laythams can accommodate up to 22 guests, making it perfect for weddings, milestone events, corporate retreats, or large family gatherings. The estate is secluded, private, and immaculately maintained, combining rustic charm with modern luxury.

Nestled in the heart of The Forest of Bowland, Lancashire, our beautiful holiday accommodation has breath taking views of the stunning Beatrice and Burn Fells, inspiring your holiday adventures. There are glorious walks to be had in all directions directly from the door, or many more walks such as the Yorkshire Three Peaks less than an hour away.
