At Windmill Lodges we are committed to providing good quality service
whilst actively reducing our environmental impact.
Some ways in which we are currently achieving this are:-
Our lodges are built from wood from sustainable resources – wood
is an incredibly good insulator and its natural thermal insulation
provides all year round comfort – warm in winter, cool
in summer.
All windows are double glazed
All curtains are fully lined to prevent heat loss.
Showers are provided to use instead of baths as a water saving
option.
Recycling of glass, paper, cardboard and cans through our
on site recycling bins and bottle bank.
We use environmental friendly cleaning products.
Our welcome pack consists of Fairtrade tea, coffee and sugar,
eco friendly washing up liquid and hand soap, recycled paper
toilet rolls and kitchen rolls.
We bulk buy and refill whenever possible to reduce packaging
waste.
We have installed energy saving light bulbs wherever appropriate.
When replacing white goods, we are doing so with energy efficient
products.
We actively encourage guests to switch off electrical appliances
and not to leave on stand by.
Wind up torches are provided.
We have removed our patio heaters to cut down on energy waste.
We provide public transport timetables and a local footpath
map.
We provide online booking with email notification to reduce
paper.
We use email whenever possible and appropriate to reduce
paper.
We double sided print whenever possible
We use solid ink cartridges, as they produce the least amount
of waste
All ink cartridges are recycled.
We have taken the difficult decision to close our swimming pool
during the winter months to reduce our carbon footprint.
