Our Green Credentials
Our intention is to offer high quality luxurious accommodation that is not at the expense of the environment.
- The heating (and hot water) is generated by two ground-source heat pumps which use geothermal and solar energy to power the under floor heating. We’d also like to install a wind turbine at the top of our hill, this is currently under discussion with our planning authority.
- We try to use local producers as much as possible, we believe that the local community should be supported, small businesses are the backbone of our economy, to this end we have included a selection of useful small businesses in our links page. We have introduced a selection of locally produced, frozen food in an honesty freezer.
- Washing machines and WCs are provided with filtered rainwater from our 6,500 litre harvesting system.
- High quality low energy lamps are used throughout together with energy saving appliances.
- The barns are insulated to the highest “U value” given the constraints of the old buildings. The log fires are carbon neutral.
- Traditional materials and building methods have been used wherever possible including Hydraulic Lime, reclaimed bricks & stone and seasoned Oak. The design and build has been carried out by local tradesmen.
- We recycle and compost as much of our waste as we can, and will
be very pleased if you can help.
- Our smallholding is free from any pesticides and fertilisers.
- We plan to plant about a hundred trees to add to your enjoyment and that of generations to come
