Taking the Biscuit

Homemade Oat Biscuits at Layhead

We love welcoming our guests with a few special treats to start their stay with us here at Layhead. We do try to buy our produce as local as possible but there are some things that are best homemade.

We have a tried and tested (and extremely appreciated) biscuit recipe we use to bake our homemade biscuit, that continues to delight our guests on arrival. They are really easy to make so why not have a go and stir up some memories of your stay at Layhead.
