Bed & Breakfast Taking Steps Towards Sustainability
Burnside Cottage is a remarkable testament to sustainable living, marking its transition to a greener lifestyle and business. This commitment is exemplified in the refurbishments aimed at enhancing energy efficiency; replacing old exterior doors and windows with modern, efficient ones, adding further layers of insulation to roof spaces, and switching to LED lighting. The property boasts a solar array for electricity and hot water generation, complemented by 100% green energy. Emphasis on water conservation is evident with aerated shower heads, dual flush toilets, and harvesting of rainwater for the garden.
The sustainable practices extend to their choice of food and cleaning supplies. Burnside Cottage champions ethically reared and locally sourced produce from local farms and smokehouses, while also incorporating homegrown lettuce and tomatoes into their meals. Their cleaning sprays, laundry products, toilet cleaners, dishwasher tabs, soaps and conditioners are all eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free, prioritizing low waste and low carbon footprints. With their comprehensive waste and recycling process, they ensure that nothing that can be recycled or composted is wasted. For the future, plans are in place to create an allotment for growing more fruits and vegetables, installing additional solar arrays and bat roosting boxes, building a larger composter, and making further upgrades to enhance energy efficiency. Burnside Cottage truly embodies a blend of luxury and environmental responsibility.
