green matters
Measures we have put in place so far
- In recent years we have replaced single use plastic water bottles with glass water bottles
- recycling bins are outside guest rooms in the shape of beehives - one for plastics and one for paper and cardboard.
- breakfast is pre-ordered to reduce food waste
- locally sourced food to reduce food miles
- we now run a fully electric car
- bin liners are compostable
- areas of our garden have been set aside for encouraging wildlife for example log piles, and planting to encourage insects.
- In the spring horse hair is collected when their coats are changing and placed for nest building birds to use.
- we use LED lighting where possible
- Environmentally friendly cleaning products, such as distilled vinegar
- we use aluminium refillable complimentary toiletry bottles
- PIR exterior lighting outside guest rooms
- we have chosen a green electricity supplier, Bulb
- rainwater harvesting is done by diverting downpipes into our well which is used to water our plants.
- my art studio is insulated with fleeces from our sheep
