Our sustainability journey is going a long a pace these days! We are working hard to make sure that we are doing our very best to maintain the beauty and enviornment of our lovely island by being as sustainable as we can be within our business. Our actions to date include, encouraging 2 night stays to maximize the value of resources, we buy Irish where we can, avoiding waste where possible, line drying all laundry as far as possible, using enviornmentally friendly cleaning products where they are effective and suitable for the task, recycling all waste that we can, composting, and encouraging guests to place use recycling bins, breakfast options that include non-meat based dishes,avoiding single use plastics, banning cling -wrap, using guest amenities with EU ECO label, using recycled printer paper when we need to print something, buying items in bulk and decanting to re-useable containers to minimize packaging, we buy vintage items of furniture where it is suitable for purpose so that we are contributing to the circular enconomy, we don't use chemicals in our gardens, we do plant with the intention of helping our pollinators, we manage the grass with pollinators in mind, we are part of the All -ireland Pollinator Plan, we do plant a min of 50 trees per year (this is our 5th year )contributing to the development of a small woodland which in time will contribute to carbon sequestration and also add suitable habitat for wildlife as well as becoming a lovely amenity for guests to enjoy in the coming years. We would certainly like to tackle the big ticket item of heating and power and we are actively looking at that to see what we can do to reduce our carbon foot print and make our business as green as possible.

Cuirimid tuairim is 50 crann sa bhliain agus níos mó na sin go minic chun coill bheag a chruthú a soláthróidh gnáthóg don fhiadhúlra agus a súfaidh isteach Dé Ocsáid Carbóin agus a bheidh ina áis áineasa do na cuairteoirí sna blianta amach romhainn. Tá sé beartaithe againn tabhairt faoi fhoinsí teasa agus cumhachta inbhuanaithe a úsáid ach tá an costas a bhaineann leis an athrú seo ar cur bac leis an dul chun cinn ach táimid ag féachaint air agus le cúnamh Dé éireoidh linn athrú go fuinneamh inbhuanaithe go luath.
