What you need to know: Straw Bale Cabin

We like:
The honesty shop stocked full of organic produce and local ale; the free bicycles

Straw Bale Cottage is better-than-basic accommodation, using fresh interior design and impressive eco credentials from start to finish. We love that every detail has been considered and made to be green somehow, and that the construction is sustainable and innovative. We're blown away, no pun intended.
