Help us look after the landscape you love. Use public transport, sit back, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Remember, every sustainable choice contributes to preserving the natural beauty of the Lake District and Cumbria.

Sustainability

We are committed to sustainable practices that minimize our impact on the environment. From reducing waste to conserving resources, sustainability is at the core of our mission.

Car-Free Days Out

Join us in exploring the beauty of our region without relying on cars. We’ve partnered with Visit Lake District Car Free Days Out which encourages visitors to leave their cars behind and enjoy attractions by foot, bike, boat or public transport. By promoting car-free days out, we contribute to a greener future and wider access to leisure, culture, and nature.

Green Energy Tariff

Our commitment extends to energy choices. We offer a green energy tariff that supports renewable energy sources. By opting for this tariff, you contribute to a cleaner planet while enjoying reliable energy services.

Pillows and Plastic

We are reducing our impact on the environment by not supplying extra bed linen or towels during your stay. Millions of gallons of water are used to wash towels and bedding that have only been used once, every day. We do, however, provide laundry facilities where bed linen and towels can be washed and dried should you need to do so (charges apply). Thank you for helping us to conserve the earth's vital resources by reducing unnecessary laundry.

In order to reduce plastic in our waste stream, we only use refillable bottles for complimentary shampoo/shower gel in our accommodation.

Visitor Donation Scheme for Local Conservation Projects

We believe in giving back to our community and protecting the natural beauty around us. Our visitor donation scheme supports local conservation projects, including repairing footpaths and safeguarding wildlife habitats. When you book, please consider donating to the Lake District Foundation to help preserve our environment.

Helping Local Communities and Charities

We actively engage with local communities and support charitable organisations. From volunteering efforts to fundraising events, we strive to make a positive impact where we operate.
