Energy
We are committed to saving energy, steps we have taken are:
- We operate on a green energy tariff
- We utilise low energy light bulbs
- We use sensor operated lighting wherever possible
- When replacing appliances, we opt for A rated appliances
- Our holiday houses are fitted with thermostatic heating controls
- All of our new accommodation comes with domestic style insulation and double glazing
We encourage our guests to follow our energy saving tips of turning off lights when they leave their accommodation and turning down heating.
Recycling & Waste
We aim to minimise the amount of waste we send to landfill. We have taken the following steps:
- We have dedicated bottle banks throughout the site. Glass recycling uses less energy than making new glass products, which in turn reduces the strain on raw materials and resources.
- All of our used cooking oil is collected to make greener fuel.
- Unused toilets rolls are donated to staff.
- We separate out DMR, glass and food waste from general waste and encourage our guests to recycle as much as possible.
- We have a recycling bin in every unit.
Wildlife & Gardening
- We have a tree management plan for our woodland and replace dead and dying trees with native trees and shrubs
- Our woodland team leave log piles for our wildlife residents
- Where possible we make our own natural compost to use on plants and bedding
- We have bird boxes, owl boxes and Bee B&Bs throughout the site
- We plant nectar rich honey bee friendly plants which are sourced locally
- In the spring we have a carpet of bluebells in our wooded area
- We leave areas of the park uncut so wild flowers can prosper
- We maintain our hedgerows leaving a one metre wildlife corridor
- We encourage our guests to spot wildlife with signage about indiginous species throughout the woodland
