Eco-Friendly Cottage Construction
Our cottages are carefully designed to minimize environmental impact. Built on reclaimed farmland using locally sourced materials and reclaimed stone, we uphold our commitment to sustainability.
Experience eco-living with our ground source heat pump in our two largest holiday homes, double glazed windows, and highly insulated floors for maximum heat retention. We've also planted 6500 trees around the cottages, creating a haven for wildlife.

We encourage our guests to be environmentally responsible during their stay. From energy conservation to responsible waste disposal, every action makes a difference in preserving the natural beauty of the Ribble Valley and Lake District region.
