Green Meetings
​
If you’re seeking a sustainable venue, then look no further! From the roof to below ground and everything in between we take our sustainability responsibilities seriously. We make use of natural light and windows to save energy and harness the sun with solar panels on our roof. We collect rainwater to flush our toilets, 42,000 sustainably source cedar shingles on the roof keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer (with the help of an air source heat pump) and whilst on the subject of heat, hot water and heat is provided by a biomass boiler that is kept topped up with waste wood. And we are also careful of what we procure and consume, using locally suppliers where possible and segregating our waste so we can reduce what is sent to landfill.
Complimentary services
​
In addition to complimentary parking and free Wi-Fi your guests are welcome to visit the farm or explore the onsite activities during break times. We can also organise up close and personal experiences with the farm animals as part of your day.
