We use organic (approximately 80%) and/or local food, Fair trade tea/coffee and other supplies, and ecological cleaning materials and washing products. In fact we do all our own laundry using minimal washing liquid (using wash balls) and dry washing out of doors or over the aga!
Energy saving measures include low energy lightbulbs (about 70%), capped outdoor lights and wind-up torches as emergency lighting. We also recycle glass, paper, foil, garden waste, clothing and textiles.
We use a W.E.T system for our sewage (entirely biological through action of plant growth and soil microbes), garden organically and promote wildlife in our garden. We farm sustainably and are committed to benefiting the environment through our involvement in several environmental schemes. We educate the public by holding farm walks and garden open days. Our local workforce (cleaner and gardeners) is paid well above minimum wage.
For our guests, we provide practical suggestions & files of information about green issues. We provide bicycles and give lifts to/from the train station. Here we promote peace and quiet as a desirable way to enjoy the countryside as well as to benefit our guests.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
