Sustainability
A sustainable and accessible stay on the Romney Marsh
We are incredibly passionate about sustainability. Whether it be through farming, producing our wool-based products, or during a stay within our shepherds huts – it’s at the heart of everything we do.
Through our sister business, Romney Marsh Wools, in 2022 we were officially accredited as ‘carbon neutral’ as part of our ongoing journey to reduce carbon emissions, become more sustainable, and build a better future for our planet. You could even say that it’s part of our DNA. Wool as a material is incredibly beneficial for the environment, with its bio-degradability and all-natural fibres, making it a good choice for the eco-conscious among us.
We already have a list of green policies and credentials listed on our website, which include our pledges such as supporting local, conserving the historic Romney Marsh pasture, having a minimal impact on the community, and creating products which are naturally processed, with no synthetic dyes or damaging chemicals.
Sheep have been grazing on this area of outstanding beauty since the 13th century, and each shepherds hut has been designed to ensure it is in keeping with the area. Created by a local craftsman Julian, together we were really sensitive to all of the materials we used.
Most of the products inside, too, are produced using the wool from our own sheep – including the bedding, curtains, throws, and toiletries, which are all produced with recyclable packaging. We also collaborate with local businesses who align with our sustainable promises, such as Biddenden Vineyards, Lost Sheep Coffee, and more.
We also have an electric car charger on-site.
We are also proud to be a member of Good Journey, which means that anyone arriving to us by foot or bicycle can receive either a free breakfast box, or 10% off any Romney Marsh Wools product. Simply quote GoodJourney10 to receive the discount off our products, or GoodJourneyBBOX to receive a locally sourced breakfast box, worth £15
Accessibility
Despite being a rural farm, we do everything we can to ensure our huts remain accessible for all.
We are Guide Dog friendly all-year-round and can provide extra assistance for wheelchair users if we are informed before your arrival. Our huts are also ideal for those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), due to the quietness of our surroundings and opportunities to engage with nature.
In spring, we love providing our guests and families the opportunity to feed and meet our lambs, which is both an educational and memorable experience. We also provide a wheelbarrow at the gate of each hut, to help transport your luggage with ease. If you have any questions regarding accessibility, please do contact us before your stay – we’re always happy to help.
