Sustainability

We are dedicated to the long-term sustainability of the estate and strive to minimise our impact on the environment and surrounding landscape. Most of our heating and hot water is generated by a sustainable wood pellet biomass system, and we also produce renewable energy through solar power. As part of our commitment to reforestation and biodiversity, we have recently planted over 11,500 trees, with more planned in the near future. We're working hard to eliminate single-use plastics across the estate and use natural, eco-friendly cleaning products wherever possible. Recycling is a priority for us, and we aim to reduce waste in every area of operation. To support greener travel, we have installed electric vehicle charging points for guests and visitors.
