How this holiday makes a difference

The Fisherman's cabin has a very low impact on the environment. It's been built using local and reclaimed materials wherever possible, all the furnishings have been bought or made locally, many from second-hand shops. Being off-grid means every watt counts and discourages wasteful use of electricity. The water supply is pumped and filtered from the lake so we appreciate the importance of using water carefully. There's a state of the art composting toilet, and a stop button shower.

One of our aims is to 'showcase' greener energy options and new technologies as well as harking back to simpler times, seeking the perfect combination of a back to nature experience without having to forego modern comforts. We provide plenty of info for our guests about to the local markets, shops and restaurants so they may take advantage of the fabulous local produce and help the local economy. Hassle free bike hire is available, one of the best ways to see the local countryside.

Waste is recycled or composted wherever possible and we use eco-friendly cleaning products. We provide many extras such as basic culinary items, bedding and towels and a small supply of organic toiletries so our visitors can travel lighter.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Just being in such a remote location, no internet, no emails, no phone signal! Totally peace and tranquility! Having the raft was totally fab to play around on too! Also seeing the kingfisher, catching fish (returned safely to their watery home!) having deer as neighbours & listening to the stags rutting.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


The cabin can hold 2 adults & 2 children comfortably as the upstairs twin room is very low - if you are a grown up with back problems......ouch! But more than adequate for kids! Saying that, I kind of liked the room as the window looked over the lake.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I think so, as there were no major towns we bought mostly local produce at the markets which seem to be in different areas on most days. Utilising less modern frills and fancies always has less of an impact on the environment!

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Marks out of 10 - 10! Really enjoyed the set up of the cabin, very thoughtfully done with lots of information, loads of smashing little touches (loved the walkie talkies!) & fresh baked muffins as a welcome did it for me. The location was exquisite.
