Sustainability is at the heart of what we do.
​
The renovation of the entire building offered up a unique opportunity to build in as much tech and processes as possible, and this is how we achieve it:
-
A 34-panel, roof-mounted solar array which at peak will generate 12kw/h of home-made electricity
-
A pair of 300L ‘Mixergy’ smart water tanks that also double up as water-batteries
-
‘Thermaskirt’ heated skirting boards in our guest rooms for space heating
-
Grid-supplied electricity from a wind-farm
-
A+ rated air-conditioning
-
LED, low power and motion-sensor lighting
-
Water-efficient showers, toilets and taps
-
No single-use plastics
-
Substituting single-sachet items with re-fillable glass jars and bottles
-
Substituting bottles of still and sparkling mineral water with filtered, refrigerated tap water which is carbonated on-site.
-
Sorting our refuse into recyclable, non-recyclable and compost bins
-
Central Heating is delivered by an Air Source Heat Pump.
-
A 15kw home battery
-
Energy efficient appliances throughout the building
-
Guest rooms that are heavily insulated on all six sides
-
Two 7kw EV chargers for overnight charging
-
And all this adds up to a zero-emissions building
