One mile from the centre of Yeovil, Green Arches B&B offers well-appointed accommodation and a full breakfast menu. With free WiFi, this Somerset guest house is within 5 minutes’ walk of Yeovil Country Park.
Each room has a flat-screen TV, full-length wardrobe, desk and tea and coffee facilities, with bottled water, hot chocolate and luxury biscuits. An en suite shower room with underfloor heating has a hairdryer, heated towel rail and complimentary toiletries.
A full English breakfast is served each morning, including sausages, bacon, mushrooms, eggs, hash brown and black pudding. There is also porridge, muesli, cereals, fruit, toast, juice, and tea and coffee.
Yeovil is around 17 miles south of Glastonbury, and a 45-minute drive from Wells. Cheddar Gorge is 1 hour away, and you can reach the historic city of Bath in around 70 minutes. Yeovil is positioned on the Somerset/Dorset border and is surrounded by fantastic countryside including the Somerset Levels to the north and rolling hills of Dorset to the south. We are roughly equidistant between the Bristol Channel coastline and the English Channel as well as a midway point between London and west Cornwall. We are conscious of the current and future environmental issues that are likely to affect us all, so during our refurbishment, we have attempted to reduce our carbon emissions to do our bit.
Green Arches benefits from 40 solar evacuated tubes (20 tubes south facing and 20 tubes west facing), which is estimated to provide all our and guests’ hot water needs for 6 months of the year and up to 30% of our hot water during the winter.
We also have solar tiles installed (south facing), which generate up to 1.5 Kw of electricity. In practice this has equated to over 1,100 KWh (units on the meter) in the past 12 months. The surplus of our usage has been fed directly back to the national grid.
We use a 6,000 litre water storage tank (installed underneath our garage) in which we collect rainwater from our roof (over 100 m² coverage), which is then recycled and used for our washing machine and to flush all of the toilets. We make full use of the local recycling services and facilities.
We have calculated that we produce approximately 3 to 4 tonnes of CO2 per year (based on full guest occupancy of Green Arches), compared to the average of 10 tonnes per year for 2 people in the UK. All in all, we believe we are environmentally friendly.
