GreenTraveller listing for Clynfyw

           
                             
                             
   

We try to keep our environmental impact to a minimum and, in the past, we have been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development for our low-impact policies and were voted best Sustainable Tourism Business in 2004 in the Arena Network Wales Environmental Awards.

In 2010 we secured a Gold Award according to the Green Tourism Business Scheme, the highest award available to the tourism industry.

Here is a summary of some of the measure we have taken:

All our cottages have recycling facilities
The farm and woodland are accredited by the Soil Association
A Reedbed system purifies the waste water from the cottages
Bio-mass burner heating system that runs on wood pellets and chips
Carbon neutral policy – we run an annual tree-planting programme to balance
out the carbon produced by visitors coming to Clynfyw
We try to use eco friendly cleaning products, recycled refuse sacks and low energy lightbulbs in all our cottages
All the cottages are fitted with solar panels helping to provide hot water

In 2010 we installed a 17 panel p/v array to produce up to nearly 4kw of solar electricity for sale to the National Grid

We have started a list of local producers to help visitors purchase locally sourced foodstuffs from locally owned businesses. This list is ever evolving. If you come accross someone/something worth adding, please just let us know.

The Ecoholidayshop have a lot of other environmentally aware cottage providers on their site. If we are not quite what you are looking for, do have a look as there might be somewhere better there! http.//www.ecoholidayshop.co.uk/
