The house is a wooden eco build with masses of insulation. It is built to blend in with the environment and be part of the national park. We do our uttermost best to be environmentally friendly with light bulbs, eco friendly appliances and cleaning products.

We ask our guests to be respectful of electric and have a fair use policy where they pay for using too much. Instead of manicuring the garden we have seeded with native wild flowers for butterflies.

We have kept the garden natural to help encourage wildlife, offering food and homes for birds. We do not use fertilizer on the grass areas but use nettle liquid fertilizer which we produce ourselves.

We reiterate the practices of recycling, only food waste is collected everything else is recycled and we remind our guests of this. We use eco friendly cleaning products including toilet paper and use refillable hand washes.
