Great location for bird watchers, nature lovers, walkers, climbers, artists and writers. Easton gardens are a stroll away and there are numerous walking opportunities, short and long around the Island. Tout Quarry Sculpture park, Church Ope Cove and spectacular cliff top views out to sea and along the spectacular Jurassic coast are not too far a distance to walk. Bowers Quarry and Jordan's Mine (the sites of the much anticipated Eden Memo Project) are also just a short stroll away. We are ideally located in the centre of Easton which gives easy access to amenities. Various shops, pubs and cafes are within easy walking distance. Bus stops are located just outside White Stones Art Cafe in Easton and they run every ten minutes or so. From here the bus runs to most areas of the island including Portland Bill. Please note during winter the Portland Bill service stops operating. You can also take the bus to the bottom of the island and over to Weymouth and its surrounding areas. There is a train station in Weymouth, if you want to venture further afield, to visit the likes of Dorchester, Bournemouth etc. The top of the Island is fairly level and is popular for cyclists. Our three holiday studios and art studio have been built (as much as possible) with sustainability and care for the environment in mind to provide an environmentally friendly stay. Electric, under floor heating and hot water are provided via onsite solar PVE and Air Heart Source. This is achieved during the majority of the year and when not, we buy in energy from a 100% green Energy supplier, Good Energy. The majority of Laundry is carried out on site using our onsite green energy sources and filtered water from the rain water harvesting system. We only use biodegradable detergents and conditioners and the cleaning of the studios is carried out using biodegradable cleaning products. Waste water flushing is provided via our onsite rain water harvesting tank and our complimentary toiletries are all natural and biodegradable. Rain water is also reused to water all the garden and patio areas and we have full on-site recycling facilities provided for all food waste, glass, paper, cardboard, metal etc. We are committed to improving and maintaining our sustainability and one of the features to be added in the near future is a Tesla Power Wall. This will enable us to hopefully be 100% self sufficient with energy usage.
