Caring for the environment

We love where we live and the beautiful countryside around us, so we want to help protect it. The Norfolk Coast and Broads National Park are beautiful places, which is why so many people come to stay with us and choose to return year on year.

We are trying to reduce our and our guests' impact on the environment. Even though there are days when we fall short and there are many things we know we can do better, our environmental policy helps to remind us and inform our customers of our goals.

• As many ingredients as possible for your breakfast come from the immediate area. We are proud to use a fantastic range of great local producers.

• We encourage wildlife and bio-diversity on our farm, participating in environmental schemes and bird surveys with the RSPB.

• We collect runoff water from the roof to water the garden.

• We use low-energy light bulbs and have many external and corridor lights on-timers.

• The barns are well insulated from top to bottom.

• Our housekeeping staff recycle the paper, glass and plastic bottles from your bedroom waste bins.

• We strive to reduce our paper use and correspond as much by e-mail as possible.

• We change your sheets every 3 days, and your towels are changed every other day

• We use bathroom toiletries that are ethically sourced and lovely to use.

If you would like to help us protect the environment, we ask that;

• When you are not in your room, please turn off the lights as you leave.

• When the central heating is on, please consider turning down the thermostat on the radiator before opening the window to cool the room.

• Even though there is a supermarket near Stalham, consider making some purchases at Sea Palling Village Shop or the Truly Local farm shop. Both are closer and support some great local producers.

• You could even leave your car in the car park all day and enjoy a car-free day out – there are many options. Just ask us, and we would happily give you some ideas.

• We allow all our guests to donate on departure to the Friends of Horsey Seals; they provide wardens to keep our local seals and seal pups safe during the breeding season and provide information to visitors coming to see the seals
