Dannah Cottages Environmental Statement

We are privileged to live in such an unspoilt and beautiful place, on the fringes of Britain’s first designated National Park. We try to run Dannah Cottages in such a way that they have a minimal effect upon our environment, and listed below are some of the practices we adopt to help us do this.

  • As farmers, as well as accommodation providers, we are members of FWAG, (Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group), and participate in DEFRA’s Environmental Stewardship scheme.
  • We support the local economy by using locally sourced produce wherever possible.
  • Bottles and cans are re-cycled using the local council’s doorstep collection, and the town collection points.
  • Promote local attractions and businesses with an array of information leaflets.
  • Where possible we use low energy light bulbs.
  • Efficient insulation of lofts/pipes/tanks to reduce heat loss, and conserve energy.
  • All electrical appliances are AA rated or above.
  • All labour is local.
  • Honeysuckle cottage is fitted with soar panels.
