Sizewell & Environment - we are committed !

Welcome!

You may well be aware that there is a great deal happening in East Anglia which is geared to sustainable energy. Here at Jolly Farmers we are committed to the environment and the natural habitat.

We are situated within a nature conservation area, part of the Waveny conservation project, and are also in an area of SSSI. We support all wildlife including the local Tawny Owls which often reside in our Owl Box, many bird boxes, bug sancturies and even a "bug hotel" for winter mini-beast hibernation. We recycle the maximum possible and harvest rainwater for gardening despite being on an unmetered supply. All Veggie scraps are composted.

Our Septic Tank system utilises the least energy possible. Both cars are classic cars, which are run daily, maintained and repaired just as they were designed, use recycled parts where possible and over their lifetime, they emit less CO2 than it would take to produce a brand-new car, however economical.. The Jolly Farmers is 90% energy-bulb lit. It runs most main appliances on Eco-7 and although runs oil-fired boiler, it is supplemented with wood burners using its own as well as locally sourced wood - in fact we have never bought kindling or logs !

We embrace all who are involved in the projects that the nation has committed to and gladly support all companies and businesses associated with the drive for sustainable energy expansion here in East Anglia.

Sizewell and the surrounding areas are approximately 25-30 mins drive away from our rural retreat, nestled amongst hundreds of acres of farmland but just 5 mins drive away from all village amenities including local shop, pubs, and restuarants. (Supermarkets and other shops are a further short drive away at Harleston (7 Miles, Halesworth 9 miles, and Diss 14 miles)

It is due to our special beliefs and support that we can offer special prices for accommodation to technicians and professionals that support these industries or wildlife conservation professionals on business. For organisations this would also mean a huge saving on hotel rates over term.

For example, we have our Gates Lodge detatched brick-built self-catering lodge that can accommodate up to 2 people in separate rooms with all mod cons, being newly converted in summer 2011, it is completely independent and is complete with private parking, gardens and fully equipped. Special discounts are available, short or long-term. Our "Gates Lodge" page describes the accommodation and prices, but please enquire about special block-booked prices for both the lodge and the B&B, and we will be pleased to help.......we look forward to meeting you !
