Green Credentials

Barlings is a very "green" property, with self-sustainable heating and electricity powered by our own logs in a biomass boiler and photovoltaic panels, plus solar pool heating.

That allows us to heat the pool for you up to 85F with a clear conscience, and ensures that rooms are the right temperature all year round. You will love our spring water which comes from a fresh, soft spring and borehole deep inside the hillside.
