“When people arrive we offer them a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of cake or some biscuits and if they don’t want it then I give it to them later. We like our guests to have fresh homemade ingredients and we don’t buy things in unless we have to. So we make our own granola, our own jams and compotes and we buy in local bread in paper.

“I tell guests what we do and why and that we’re supporting Plastic Free PZ. I’m really proud that PZ was the first town to get the recognition and we’ve all got a duty to do what we can. It’s great that we are ambassadors, especially as we have the sea and all our amazing marine wildlife on the doorstep. When I was in London it was all about things being on demand and being convenient for ‘me’. As time goes on you begin to reflect on that.”
