What struck us about Laykin inside was the quality of the work that had been done on the house in 1939 by George Edward Brown and Company - we loved the art deco style door furniture and oak ceiling panels and stair case. We felt the pulpit on the landing was a lovely feature and we were concerned to keep the integrity of the cottage, and loath to change it from the romantic hideaway that it had been for so long.
At the beginning we toyed with the idea of keeping it as it is, and cutting ourselves off from the world when we stayed there. However practical problems such as how to wash our clothes without electricity soon overcame this notion.
