GREEN TIPS FOR YOUR STAY AT ROSE COTTAGE

– in the summer you can line-dry your washing in the garden.

– use the compost bin for organic waste: we use all the compost we make in our garden!

– the Norfolk Coast-Hopper bus is fun - we park in the Wells-town car park (a bit cheeper than on the quay or at the beach) and then take the Hopper to Holkham and walk back along the beach.

– this is a good area for star-gazing since there is less glow from local street lights at night. Use a star-gazing app to study the skies in the evening.

– Rose Cottage is just across the village from the popular Parlour cafe up at the Priory Farm, where you can also buy milk fresh from this local farm.

– Trevor runs the Binham local store on the Green, and we welcome those who support his business as it is vital for our village.

Here at Rose Cottage we are constantly striving to reduce our carbon footprint and make your stay as kind to nature as possible.
