Our Environmental Policy

At Bleasdale Cottages we are committed to providing a good quality service whilst minimising the environmental impact of our activities.

An example of this commitment is our membership of the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

We welcome support, participation, and suggestions from you our customers as to how we can improve our environmental policy and protect the environment and increase the enjoyment of your stay.

The scheme provides accreditation and encouragement for sustainable tourism, ensuring the continued enjoyment of the environment around us for future generations.

You will stay on a farm managed for wildlife in accommodation designed for sustainable tourism, featuring wood pellet central heating.

We work closely with the RSPB, and other conservation organisations to maintain and improve wildlife habitats on our land. In particular to increase wading bird and Brown Hare populations and to enhance biodiversity.

At Bleasdale Cottages we encourage guests to consider their environmental impact and where possible to.

• Compost green kitchen waste.
• Use the separate bins provided for bottles, cans and paper.
• Use recycled paper products
• Support the local food producers / restaurants by recommendation
• Use environmentally friendly washing and cleaning products

At Bleasdale Cottages where possible.

• We supply environmentally friendly washing products and cleaning materials for our guests use.
• We use environmentally friendly washing and cleaning products in our own cleaning routine.

We encourage sustainable tourism by provision for walkers and cyclists and extensive information on low impact activities.

To encourage awareness of the environmental sensitivity of the natural environment of The Forest of Bowland we have an extensive range of information produced by the RSPB, Forest of Bowland and other organisations and promote interpretive events and walks organised by such bodies.

We have a No smoking and No pets policy in all properties.
