Cornwall accommodation, organic B&B nr St Austell

We have been farming organically since 1995 and are now with the soil association. By not using any chemicals or fertilizers on the farm we have noticed a large rise in the different species of wildlife especially the coulds of butterflies feeding on the fallen plums.

We recycle all our own waste rubbish at the local centre and encourage our guests to let us recycle any plastic glass bottles papers etc, for them. We launder guests towels as requested instead of everyday to reduce electricity/water uses, we use hippos in our toilet cisterns and are presently examining the possibility of using our own water supply for laundry and toilets, and solar panels for lights.

We run the B&B by using as much of our own produce as possible and where necessary using our local farm shop at Heligan gardens, during the summer months we serve cream teas on the lawn to guests and visitors and encourage small donations to local charities being the RNLI and the blind.

We always encourage people to shop locally in the village and to use locally sourced food with fish being a particular delight. Our tea coffee facilities contain organic/fairtrade produce.
