Thought folks may be interested in our recent stay in a Passivhaus B&B near Malvern.  I wanted to experience the environment of passivhaus with MVHR and see if i could convince the OH that retrofitting and adding MVHR could be something that we should do; particularly if/once we move into our new place in 2025. 

It was a fab place and I would certainly recommend it for anyone who doubts the improvements from building Passiv.  I loved the peacefulness, warmth, even when next to large windows, and the low bills they say they have.😁 I hoped it would give me a better sleep but I'd need a few more nights to see; particulally as they had turned on the en-suite towel rail for a while in the evening and it was too warm for me.  i ended up opening the large patio doors during the night. 

The owners could not have done more to make us welcome and we had an educational talk in the Plant Room from Andrew. I found them on the Passivhaus Trusts website event which holds Open Days, usually late in the year. https://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/

It is called Woodlands and is at the end of a long lane, with super walks right from the doorstep.  And the Oak frame was amazing.

We also stayed in a PH B&B for a few days, back in 2009, as we wanted to experience a PH before we finally decided to build one. It is cetainly a good idea.
