Built by family and local craftsmen, the house uses ‘green’ technology to heat geothermally and by local wood; to process its own waste water, light by ‘sunpipe’ and low energy bulbs, and use low energy and efficient electrical appliances. Environmentally friendly cleaning products are used; linen is line dried where ever possible. Recycled paper products are bought from the Multiple Sclerosis charity. Most marketing is via the internet, with e mail communication except by request, so paper is kept to a minimum. Visitors are encouraged to join us in the local recycling scheme for glass and paper and use the compost bin we provide.
The accommodation is built on farmland on which 16,000 native trees have been planted to create wildlife corridors for red squirrels and dormice, and on which permissive ways have been created to allow countryside access. Some fields are seeded with wild bird mix, some with ‘pollen mix’ to encourage butterflies and insects.
We have ETB 4* status and a Gold Award for the second year from the Green Island Tourism Project which aims to maximise beneficial influences on the Island’s environment, and minimise harmful effects, raising the public’s awareness. The house and grounds are looked after and maintained by local people and family members.
The house is well supplied with information to encourage the enjoyment of local countryside and coast, and appreciate and respect the wildlife and environment of this privileged location.
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!
