Sustainability
As owners of Killure Cottages, we want to ensure that neither we, nor our guests, have a negative impact on the beautiful natural environment that we live in. To help us achieve our commitment we have created a Green Policy as below:
- For our business to create less waste we encourage our guests to use our designated glass and general recycling bins as much as possible to reduce waste going to landfill.
- We are increasing the use of low energy consuming appliances and have changed all lighting in our cottages and around the site to low energy LED bulbs.
- Our surroundings are a haven for birds, bats, and squirrels to name but a few of its residents alongside our guests in the cottages. For that reason we leave large areas of our grounds to be wild.
- Where possible we encourage our guests to use public transport or stay local, walking from their cottages.
- We buy our supplies locally, encourage our guests to use local businesses where possible and enjoy supporting local community projects
- We strive to comply with relevant environmental legislation and regulations.
- All of our guest information, guide books and resources are online which reduces the need to print and reprint this information every time something changes.
- Linen and towels are provided for all guests and it is our policy to only replenish these mid stay if you are staying longer than 7 nights. This is to reduce the amount of laundry our property produces and in turn the impact it has on the environment.
We support and enhance our grounds for flora and fauna:
- We have installed bird feeding stations around the site to encourage an abundance of birdlife.
- Our grounds are planted with flora to encourage bees and other pollinating insects
- In order to minimise disruption to wildlife we share our surroundings with, we do not allow our guests to bring pets with them.
We are committed to reviewing our policy and continually looking for new ways to improve our sustainability and reduce our impact on the environment.
