Green Tourism Policy
We are demonstrating our commitment in practice through the following activities:
 | Completing a build using 100% sustainably sourced timber and incorporating rain harvesting for all toilet flushing and for clothes washing |
| Completing our build with solar panels for heating the water |
| Using organic, fair trade and local produce throughout |
| Providing facilities and information specially for cyclists and walkers |
| Having our own Bio-system which treats sewage without chemicals and discharges clean water into the ditch at the bottom of the field |
| 
Recycling bottles, cans, paper, plastics and cardboard |
| Creating natural habitats in the grounds including tree planting |
| Having an ethical bank account with the Co-op |
You can help us in our endeavours by:
| Following our Towel agreement policy which is covered below |
| Helping offset your emissions by sponsoring our tree planting scheme – please ask for more details |
| Supporting our recycling efforts – there’s a bin in your room |
| Giving the car a day off and using public transport or walking |
| Promoting cycling day rides through car-free itineraries and working with local cycle hire company, Cedar Cycles of Wrentham |
The above activities are just a sample of the good practices being undertaken to minimise our damage to the planet. They are taken from the 120 measures which make up the Green Tourism Business Award – more information can be obtained from: www.green-business.co.uk
Towel Policy
Please leave only the dirty towels that need washing on the floor. We don’t believe in needlessly washing towels therefore saving energy and water consumption and in turn, lower carbon dioxide emissions. Clean towels and bedding can be replaced on demand.
