Sustainability
We’re proud to run our B&B with sustainability in mind, not just for our guests, but also for the planet and our local community. From the breakfast table to the bathroom, we care about how we operate our business.
We shop locally whenever possible: milk comes fresh from the nearby farm, fruits from Eva’s Organics and we support small local shops for ingredients. Our cereals are homemade with organic oats, and we make our own yogurt and jams using fruit from our garden or organic produce sourced nearby.
You’ll also find thoughtful touches throughout your stay - no single-use items on the refreshment tray, eco-friendly toilet paper and tissues from Naked Sprout, green cleaning products and locally made Pure Lakes toiletries in the bathroom. Even our energy is supplied by a British renewable energy group, Octopus. We want to make your stay feel good in every sense.
Guided walks for guests
We also offer tailor-made guided walks and Nordic walking classes for guests who'd like to explore the stunning local landscape in a more active and mindful way. These are available by prior arrangement – email us and we can discuss what you'd enjoy the most. With Mountain Leader and Nordic Walking Instructor qualifications, you're in safe and experienced hands.
