The UK's first two-room self-catering holiday cottage made with straw bale walls, which the owners describes as a 'carbon negative' (as the straw continues to grow, it locks up carbon). Built out of locally grown wheat straw in the orchard of the owner's farm, a mile from North Howden train station, the cottage draws on solar and wind power, has a cosy log burning stove and bikes are provided free of charge so you can explore the trans Pennine cycle route.
