About Mur Crusto Bach:
- When we bought Mur Crusto farm and moved here in 2000, Mur Crusto Bach was a semi-ruin. It had been a milking parlour but the roof timbers were decayed and it leaked badly.
- In 2003, after planning consent, we began what was to turn out to be a huge project: the conversion of this old stone building into a comfortable energy-efficient holiday eco-cottage.
- Most of this work has been done by ourselves and to a very high standard. The former near-ruin at is now an attractive and comfortable cottage with a large conservatory
- Mur Crusto Bach has its own solar photovoltaic system which can generate up to 3.8 kilowatts. This electric power automatically feeds into the National Grid if it’s not being used in the cottage making this cottage more than just carbon neutral and a true eco-cottage
