At Acorn Cottage we do various things to try and reduce our impact on the environment.

1. We compost kitchen and garden green waste.

2. We re-use things where possible eg shopping bags.

3. We refill bottles of toiletries rather than buying individually wrapped items.

4. We use recycled products where possible.

5. We buy locally produced and/or organic food whenever possible.

6. We reduce use of water and washing powders by asking guests to keep their towels and sheets for the duration of their stay.

7. We use environmentally friendly washing and cleaning products.

We also try to help local wildlife.

1. We feed the birds.

2. We have a wildlife pond.

3. We garden organically.
