The Environment
We invite all Norfolk holiday makers to consider the environment with Barn & Beach. We will be constantly reviewing our policy and exploring ways to improve our carbon footprint… Some policies will include; –
Provenance
Sourcing the product, as near to the coast as is possible be it a butcher, baker or candlestick maker? Fresh vegetables or flowers for the table, try and make it be local?
Services
Technical support and Housekeeping are supplied by great people from the local villages. Keeping it ‘local’ and reducing our carbon footprint as much as we can.
Waste Disposal
North Norfolk District Council offer good recycling facilities, we encourage all guests, trades etc. to recycle. Using green bins (supplied) or the recycle centre at North Walsham/Worstead.
We have compost facilities at some of the properties and encourage guests to use them.
Chemical
We employ environmentally friendly products without compromising the quality for our guests. We have never used any chemical in our gardens and aim to continue this policy.
Home Grown
Our ‘Beach Houses’ & ‘Village Settings’ gardens are established and provide us with a small amount of Vegetables, potatoes, beetroot etc…the Rhubarb is fading, its Autumn, we like hardy types that can withstand the sea breezes…we are also composting and invite guests to too!
The Pekin Bantams have gone to live at Grange Cottage! A family of four now residing in their garden to the delight of the guests.
The beehive is in the garden; the colony was decimated in 2019, we hope for better things next year in 2026 and are trying to secure a nuc, or catch a swarm…
The future’s bright; we ask our guests for their tips to help this policy develop and grow shoots.
