OUR GREEN POLICY
Northumberland is possibly England's most consistently beautiful county, with access to excellent landscape and outdoor spaces rich in flora and fauna. We recognise the pressure that our guests and we have on this precious resource and therefore we try and run our business taking the environment into consideration wherever possible or appropriate.
We are reducing the environmental impact of our business by recycling as much as possible minimising energy use/loss and using renewable energy, avoiding wasting any water and dealing with bathroom waste in a sustainable manner.
All cleaning products, both used by us and provided in the Hytte are natural and biodegradable.
The surrounding grounds provide a haven for birds and wildlife. Guides and identification books on local wildlife are available; we have a list of birds and mammals that have been seen in the garden. There are ordinance survey maps and guides for you to plan walks, cycle rides and days out enjoying the countryside and wildlife.
We believe that your stay with us will be improved by these measures. A symbol of this commitment is our membership of the "Green Tourism Business Scheme". Full details of all our environmental measures can be found in our "Green File".
Electricity Payback (Starting Jan 2009)
We record our energy usage so we can determine the "Average" amount used. An internal electricity meter allows guests to monitor, control (and possibly reflect!) on how much energy they are using throughout their stay.
Guests who use above "Average" electricity will be charged for units over as "Pay Back". Our electricity is on a competitive "Green Tariff" and costs 10p per kW. We feel this is the best aid to careful consumption and fairest to all our guests. This "Pay Back" will be donated to Northumberland National Park Environment Association and The Great North Air Ambulance.
