How this holiday makes a difference
Environment:
Energy: Power is generated from geothermal energy which is sustainable, reliable and clean. Invertor systems (banks of powerful batteries) are also charged while the power is on and provides electricity during power cuts or shortages. Solar energy provides hot water to the top cottage, main house and bottom cottage. Energy efficient lighting is installed and care is taken to ensure that lights and appliances are switched off when not in use. The temperatures of fridges are regularly checked to ensure they are kept at a stable and energy efficient level.
Water: Rain water is collected off the roof of the main house into a water storage tank. This is then used in some of the internal laundry and to water the gardens.
Chemical Husbandry: Environmentally safe cleaning products are used throughout the property and staff receive training in ecofriendly cleaning methods. No chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used in the gardens. Instead, the garden receives organic compost from the farm as a fertilizer.
Community:
