Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Loved looking out the French doors and watching the birds and sheep. On arrival it was lovely and warm, which was nice this time of year. The two risers and recliners chairs were a bonus to us as it made it easier for my elderly father to get up and out of the chair. If you go with children there are plenty of jigsaws, board games, lego and dvds.
The only little thing I could suggest it could do with is a stand for the draining board and that's only because I prefer to wash up by hand instead of using the dishwasher.
The saucepan set could do with looking at as the nonstick coating is quite scratched on some of them.
I will be booking this cottage again in the near future.

Shower powerful too which I didn’t expect. Beds lovely and comfy and very cosy when heating or fire on. Unfortunately we were there when storm Babet hit and had to spend a day indoors. Plenty of room for 5 of us not to get on each others nerves. If I could have changed one thing about property it would be for TVs in bedrooms as 5 of us didn’t want to watch same thing in evenings. Thank god for the wifi. I would definitely come back here. So relaxing with sheep as your neighbours.
