As such we:-

• Encourage our visitors to recycle waste:- containers are provided for newspapers, magazines, glass and kitchen wastes. Guidance on local recycling is also provided in the Cottage.
• Have replaced many filament lamps with low energy equivalents
• Promote green transport to guests – see Contact and Booking.
• Keep marketing material to a minimum. Most of our communication is via this website – brochures are only printed and distributed on request.
• Use recycled, locally sourced and fair trade products where practicable
• Support local environmental initiatives such as Gift to Nature.
• Have recently joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme and achieved Gold level in recognition of our sustainable practices. Please refer to our Environmental & Social Responsibility policy.

Visit the Isle of Wight Car Free Scheme website to see where you can get discounts to various attractions if you travel by bike, bus or train. Just show your bus or train ticket for your journey there, or your current Rover / Freedom ticket to get your discount. If you have a pass that allows free travel (such as the OAP pass), you will need to show the paper ticket that would have been issued to you when you boarded the bus. Cyclists who stay with us will be issued with a car-free pass to use. Taking car parking fees and fuel prices into consideration, buying a rover ticket for the week for all the family and getting discounts as you visit various attractions can make financial sense. So go on, break the car habit and explore the island in a different way!
