About your hosts

 

We love to share this beautiful corner of the world with visitors!

Having both travelled extensively in younger years, we now have a more settled lifestyle, involving children and dogs and horses (not living in the house with us!) and less travelling.

So having a wonderful home that we can open to guests is a way to bring the world here instead. Cornwall is as wonderful a place to live as it is to visit, and we look forward to welcoming you here!

Elmswood House and Sustainability We at Elmswood House feel very strongly about our responsibility to the environment and are constantly trying to improve the way we run Elmswood House, to be as environmentally friendly as we can. Collin has campaigned numerous times as a Green Party candidate locally, Prune’s other business has recently been certified as a B-Corp, and we are proud of our Green Tourism award. We buy all our electricity from renewable sources, we shop as locally as we can, we recycle everything that we can. We are a short walk from Par station, on the mainline from Paddington, and well served by buses, so we are a great option for car-free travel. And while we are planning to install an EV charger, we are always delighted to welcome electric vehicles, and local charging is always getting better, see options here: https://www.zap-map.com/ There is always more than can be done to minimise our impact on the planet, and we are always keen to get advice from guests on how we can improve.
