Lytel

A small gathering of oak frames cabins, lodges and tents in a meadow next to a lake in Essex

Oak frames cabin, lakeside, wildlife, bell tents, magical meadow, farmland and woodland. Located 10 miles from Colchester.

Set in three hundred acres of Essex farmland, Lytel cabins and bell tents are set in a tree edged meadow next to a lake, in a dreamlike setting amongst the wildflowers. 

Each cabin or tent has been thoughtfully and immaculately designed with wonderful features with wood cladding, hot tubs, luxurious bedding and fixtures and beautiful vistas. Bathrooms with roll top baths and kitchens with butler sinks alongside wood burners and vintage items make these cabins a delight for any homewares brand shoot or retreat. 

Each cabin has lovely outdoor spaces with wooden verandas and hot tubs and they are set hidden in the ancient trees that enclose the meadow. They are next to a lake which would be wonderful for many different purposes. The woodlands are incredible especially in bluebell season. A stream meanders through the wildflower meadow and the farm teams with wildlife also on the farm you will find sheep, pigs, ducks, cattle, horses, guinea pigs, quail and chickens. 

Lytel can provide accommodation for shoot and stays and retreats in the cabins upon request.

History and special interest

Lytel has been in the current family ownership for four generations and conservation and the environment are at the heart of their farm.
